iTSfv has multiple faces

During the last few days some significant core changes as to how iTSfv loads were done. This was transparent for the general user. According to the current implementation, iTSfv goes to a WMPfv mode if it detects Windows Vista Media Center and no iTunes is detected. If neither Vista Media Center nor iTunes is detected then iTSfv will go to a File Validator mode.

I was originally thinking of having one big cool GUI for both iTunes and WMP but later decided for the sake of making things modular, splitting the work into two GUI forms. So now when I work on WMPfv and see any buggy code in iTSfv I can go back and actually fix it because I am kind of rewriting things from scratch. If I was using the same iTSfv GUI then I wouldn't have spotted it.

So far WMPfv implements Synchroclean and Updating UrlToCover from existing Album Art.

Functionality should be added to load Windows Media Player library to XmlTracks, extracting Cover to the folders required. So when the user validates she can export the Artwork, and update the UrlToCoverArt.dat all at once.

Tagging Classic Music albums with Mp3tag for iTunes and Last.fm

Image
I realized a lot of people having trouble with tagging Classic music. Initially, I got into Classical music to take up this challenge but now I am hooked into it because of its nice sophisticated melodies. There has to be a very straight forward way of tagging music. The ID3v2 specification provides us frames for the following tags that can be used to organize classical music:   Artist AlbumArtist Conductor OriginalArtist Composer Album Name   My goal is to devise a plan to fit all of these tags into Classical music appropriately, so that the Classic music composers will appear in Last.fm statistics music will be organized and displayed well in iTunes   The primary focus is given to how the music is organized. This means tagging conventions for track names is not one of the primary concerns in this article. First we familiarise ourselves with the ID3v2 frames for the tags above.   TPE1 The 'Lead artist/Lead performer/S

DVD2WMV Encoder 1.0 ALPHA Started

Now it's under active development. The main challenge is WMEncoder refusing AviSynth script files. While writing the CCE to WMV guide this idea was to born to create a tool to calculate the total time of a movie. This will be added to DVD2WMV Encoder -- not as a standalone executable but integrated, so that the values can be used by the WM9 Bitrate Calulator part to determine the target Video Bitrate. 0:41:38 + 0:39:15 + 0:39:11 = 0:119:64 = 1:59:64 = 1:60:04 = 2:00:04
