Where a valid match is not found, return the text you supply. *If omitted, XLOOKUP returns blank cells it finds in lookup_array. =XLOOKUP(lookup_value, lookup_array, return_array, , , ) If no match exists, then XLOOKUP can return the closest (approximate) match.
#Songkong matched to musicbrains not matched to release both manual#
So is it just the case that only some of their songs have been matched, in which case some manual editing may be required.The XLOOKUP function searches a range or an array, and then returns the item corresponding to the first match it finds.

When I look at this artist on MusicBrainz, both names seem to be known How do I solve this? Do I rename the tags and manually group them? Finally, singers Bhimsen Joshi and Pandit Bhimsen Joshi are the same, but that is not recognised.

There are some files where there is metadata (Indian Classical Vocal) but they are not getting renamed or grouped in the artist folder even when I select change name basis metadataīut has SongKong matched to MusicBrainz Release or MusicBrainz song, if not they will not be renamed.Since you already have For Songs already matched on the Save tab set to Everything this points to an improvement I could make when moving unmatched songs to remove these folders. There are many empty folders with files of 1KB - is there no way to have these deleted?Īre these folders that previously contained songs but now empty because moved to unmatched folder.No sorry we do not deal with single files containing multiple tracks such as cue files, its not a very flexible format really and I would recommend you don’t use it. Presume I need to use cue tools etc to rip them back into separate tracks? I presume SongKong cannot match these or populate the tags of individual files. I have a few albums ripped as cue files.Unfortunately this unverified data was not so good, and because you set SongKong to rename songs even if only matched song only that has now caused the tracks form that release to get a bit split up.īetter to either not rename at all, or only rename if matched to a release. It was possible to match some of the tracks to Acoustid, and because you had no existing metadata SongKong did try and add the most basic song only metadata for these tracks from Acoustid. So this particular release is not a release by a band called Crystal Cables its a test cd containing various classical tracks used by the Crystal Cables company, as such I could not find it on MusicBrainz or Discogs. Right now I still have a lot of files unmatched. I have tried to scan this folder separately again. Example - Arabesque by Crystal Cables - the entire album with all the tracks in exactly the same order exists on Discogs. In the unmatched one there are quite a few which are complete and have the entire info in the tags and match an album.Ideally I should add the MusicBrainz live lookup to SongKong to avoid this issue. When you give Jaikoz a MusicBrainz Release Id to match to if it cannot find it then it will fall back to looking it up in the live MusicBrainz database, that is why it could match it.īut SongKong doesnt have this feature, when processed with SongKong it tried to look up the existing release id but failed, for all SongKong knew it could be an invalid MusicBrainz Id, therefore it doesnt mark it as matched to MusicBrainz and therefore doesnt move the folder.

The disadvantage is that it is only updated (actually has to be rebuilt) once a month so therefore doesnt contain the latest data, and therefore doesn’t include that Autechre album as that was only added on the 9th April. Instead they use Albunack, this is designed just for SongKong/Jaikoz music tagging and is therefore much faster and more reliable then using MusicBrainz/Discogs themselves. Both Jaikoz and SongKong don’t use MusicBrainz/Discogs directly.
