Ever felt like the genre of d/led tracks are simply not right?
Ever felt like energy-level on auto-pilot using MIK for ex. are not doing it right?
Ever felt like u wanted the mood of a song in your tag too?
Ever felt like u wanted the characteristics of a tune showing in your DJ app?
...But there was no simple easy fast solution?
PROBLEM
Genre tags in audio files are simply not correct.
Whether downloaded from popular source like iTunes, Beatport or d/led elsewhere,
It seems due marketing they intent to put a different tag, a less explicit genre in there.
If you google on this topic, u will see there is no real solution.
Scripts try to grab the genre based on last.fm tags or on lyrics, which doesn't lead anywhere solid.
People may even have a different opinion what kind of genre a track is.
And what about Energy level?
MIK seems to be the only automatic software out there and does a so/so job IMHO.
What about mood?
To listen to them yourself and right-clicking them > edit id3-tag, and fill in the right genre, energy & mood is a tedious job.
What if this could be semi-automated by providing an app that provides a straight-forward method to do this?
SOLUTION
An app that lets the user (and therefor the whole DJ community + music lovers) quickly tag pre-defined tags to the Metadata of a music file, preferably in Comment tag, since all mediaplayers can handle it.
In the fight of getting my music-collection in shape, I found out about foobar and its cool plugins.
I've made a demo + tutorial, how to quickly tag genre, mood and energy to your music in 15 seconds per track!
