is there a way to reload/re-read the id3 tags from the mp3/flac files and update the internal database ?
i checked the forum, the manual and
in my current workflow i sometimes update the id3 tags (genre, key, bpm, comments, etc) of my mp3s/flacs outside of djuced using 3rd party programs. it would be great if djuced would have a function to re-read the id3 tags from the mp3s and update its internal database.
right now i would have to wipe the database and re-add everything but that requires me to re-create all playlists and folders which is quite cumbersome.
Hello,
Please precise your 3rd party program tagging ID3 so that Djuced team can answer more precisely.
For MP3 files
- Djuced should read/write most of ID3 tags on MP3 files as genre, and bpm.
- Regarding key, this tagging has not 1 unified standard (there are several ways of tagging keys) so each software has its own tagging (for example, MixedInKey rewrites the key tag differently according to the targeted application)
- For comments, each app adds adds its own tags it it so that comments are not very readable (for example, iTunes adds specific tags in the comments area)..
Hi,
I use OneTagger ( https://onetagger.github.io/) and BeaTunes ( https://www.beatunes.com/en/).
My problem is not that Djuced can't read the id3 tags but that after I imported the the songs Djuced seems to import the id3 tags (title, album, etc) into its own database but there is no way to update the id3 tags in its database if there are changed after the initial import in a 3rd party application.
In other software (Serato, Rekordbox and EngineOS) you can reload the id3 tags from the files (mp3/flacs).
In Djuced I need to wipe the database and re-import the songs.
Hello,
Thanks for the detailed explanation.
Indeed Dr Djuced has just told me Djuced does not refresh its display of the tags once tags are imported.
I have asked him to add it in the feature list.
)Hello Junior76,
Thanks for your message.
I am puzzled with your description as I use MP3tag for several years and I have never met the issue you describe.
When Djuced analyzes files, it replaces only the BPM, key and energy: it does not change anything else as the analysis does not seek the album name or the music genre for example.
I just tested a few minutes ago with 120 files in changing their music genre in MP3Tag.
When reimporting in Djuced these files I retagged before in MP3Tag, Djuced read the new music genre as I had retagged it.
If I analyze the tracks in Djuced, Djuced updates the BPM, key and energy, and that's all.
What Timeu describes is unrelated with the issue you report: Timeu says one has to re-import the tracks in Djuced to if they have been tagged after importing them in Djuced: it is unrelated with erasing music genre or something like that.
