![]() ![]() #SONGKONG BUY DOWNLOAD#You can see in the image above the album cover as the large image and I have changed the filename to ‘folder.jpg’ and by clicking save it puts a copy in my download folder. Ideally you want to look for an image that is a around 600 x 600 in size, bigger is OK, but 300 x 300 for example will look poor – when you have found the desired artwork you need to save it and you have to call the image ‘folder.jpg’ in order it to be recognised by SongKong. To add artwork is a relatively quick process, the first thing you need to do is find a copy of the album artwork on the internet and download it to your computer or tablet. Once the album arrived it was promptly ripped on my D100 and N1ZS/EX but before I pressed confirm to rip the album I noticed on the Melco front panel that Gracenote had no artwork for the album….perfect opportunity for the requested blog post! Once the album had successfully ripped you can see it in Kazoo in the image above, without any artwork showing. I was visiting another customer last week demonstrating a Melco and he recommended an album to me, a couple of tracks later and I was convinced, the album was by Courtney Marie Andrews and is called Old Flowers and I duly ordered the album once I got back home. Always happy to oblige wherever I can so here we go! I even received a request for a future blog post! One of my Melco customers asked if I could do a post about SongKong where I show how you add album artwork (if there is none) or you want to replace either wrong or poor quality artwork. It’s an incredibly powerful program and really lets you hone and fine tune your music library to get the very best out of your collection based on how you like to browse your music. So when matching we now check for artists in original metadata and strip out and when checking artist credits we should allow a match from name to just the one main name credit in artist credit.After my SongKong blog post was uploaded to my site earlier this month I have received quite a few emails and messages from customers who have been using SongKong to great effect with their digital music libraries. This is quite common but MusicBrainz preferred formatting is for featured artists to be stored in artist credit so that when we double check artist/title for each match it was sometimes leading to valid matches being rejected. When double checking album matches we now allow for existing data storing the featured artists in title rather than artist. So this means it may not get the earliest release and it could actually be later than the release matched if song has been matched to a release with no country events, this is now fixed. When looking for the earliest or original release date SongKong was always selecting later release with country to earlier than one with unknown country. The vocal performance of Vocal performers was previously being added to the Instruments field, this is not what most customers would like so now the instruments field is restricted to actual instruments Now to ensure consistency and remove needless modification to your SongKong music files these roles are always stored in alphabetical order SongKong correctly splits a single credit of multiple instruments into multiple credits, so a credit for Paul McCartney Vocals, Guitar is added to your music files as Paul McCartney (Vocals), Paul McCartney (Guitar), but it was also splitting single credits such John Lennon, Addtional Guitar incorrectly, this is now fixed. When a track has multiple credits for a particular role (such as two engineers) they are not stored by MusicBrainz in any particular order, so the order they were added to SongKong was random, this mean't that the order could change when the the Albunack database was rebuilt. ![]() But MusicBrainz can also store performer credits at release level and these apply to all tracks on the release, this new release can now retrieve these release level credits and add them to each track. SongKong could already retrieve track level performer credits from MusicBrainz. ![]() SongKong 8.1 Scar released 7th of January 2022 ![]()
