New open source key detection tool

[astromech]

Awesome. I'll be following your project, hopefully your software will get a proper Win 7 version and camelot coding. As Mil0, I too find it weird that MiK as copyright on letters? It's like getting copyright on converting 'a' into '1' or 'b' into '2'. Surely the copyrights laws are that messed up (properly are, but one can hope).

You're talking about patents. Copyright is about the design [of the Camelot wheel].

Thanks for clearing that up. US copyright and patent laws gives me a headache

Still, it is really a problem?

Another minor release for you, including:

* Option to write to tags automatically (check the box in Preferences>Tags)
* Support for UTF-8 filenames
* Bug fixes including some M3U problems
* I stripped out all the crap algorithms now that my project's been marked!

Next priorities:
* Get a 32-bit Mac build working
* One day, fix the Windows build
* iTunes XML support (meh)

Enjoy!

You can add your own custom codes into KF though, obviously.

Just trialling your windows build and it seems to work perfectly for me in all areas but one.

Detects keys perfectly, and has taken my custom key codes no problem, and the keys detected seem to be correct.

Only problem is trying to write this discovered information to the tags. writing the key data to tags (I've selected my key codes as the preffered)

doing this erases all information in the tag, including artist, album, year, etc. Essentially it blanks the tag.

once this seemingly small isuue is fixed, I'd happily dump RE for your tool, RE gives me nothing but problems, and this just seems to work much better.

shows promise!

newg, could you email me an audio file demonstrating that behaviour?

Actually, the best thing would be two copies of the file; before and after.

I don't know what's causing the bug you describe, but that would def help me to get to the bottom of it.

ibsh, please ignore my last comment. your software seems to be working great.

I remarked on this after the tags disappeared in windows explorer (they still are).

However, the edited tags are completely visible in foobar2000 and in Serato, so the windows issue is pretty much a non-issue. it's most likely just a windows incompatibility with the ID3 tag version your software uses.

if you'd like me to email you an analysed file, i can still do so, let me know.


EDIT: I'm runing the system file check detailed in this post right now, so i'll see if this makes a difference

Ok cool; doesn't seem necessary then! It's probably just a metadata version problem as you say.

This seems to work rather well. Can you add multi-core support to your laundry list or is that going to be a lot of work?
