I like music in WAV information. After I import from a CD, MacOS Music goes to the Gracenote database and updates numerous helpful details about the tracks from the CD. After I purchase music in Bandcamp, MacOS music does not do this. The data is offered, however it’s written into the Bandcamp filenames. Instance filename:
“I Suppose Like Midnight – Microtonal Honkytonk – 02 Spring Seems to be Mint.wav”
The primary half, earlier than “-” is the band title, “I Suppose Like Midnight”. The following half is the album title, “Microtonal Honkytonk”, then the observe quantity, 2, and at last the music title “Spring Seems to be Mint”.
At current, once I purchase music from Bandcamp, I’ve to sort that info into the related Music fields by hand. That is not very nice.
-
Is there a strategy to drive MacOS Music to replace the information on the songs from the standard Gracenote database with Bandcamp music I’ve already imported?
-
Is there some form of preparation I can do to the Bandcamp information to make Music deal with the import course of so that it is the similar as when a CD is imported–so that Music goes out to Gracenote to get the metadata?
-
What format is the metadata that MacOS pulls in? If I do know the format, and there’s a strategy to get Music to learn a file containing the information (an enormous “if), then I can most likely write somewhat code to transform the data in Bandcamp filenames into the information that Music needs to see.
