What's new in SongKong 9.4

Aug 9, 2023
  • BoxSets:
  • We have been making further improvements to BoxSet matching to ensure all discs of boxset matched to the same boxset, plus many other enhancements. This has been tested thoroughly in conjunction with a Roon customer on their 200 CD Mozart box set as part of me helping to resolve an issue they were having with Roon
  • Also included is an important fix that was preventing some AcoustId matches, this should improve using Fix Songs on any music collection, not restricted to BoxSets
  • Reports:
  • For reports we have and added count badges to the the Matched To MusicBrainz and Discogs sections, and added them back to the Status Report. Improved the formatting of the reports so they better match the remote UI, and fixed the spreadsheet section of the report so it can cope with having more than 1M songs.
  • Docker Detection:
  • We have made some changes to the Docker version so that it always correctly identifies that it is running as part of a docker environment and act accordingly.
  • Issues Resolved:
  • Improvement:
  • SONGKONG-1882 Add MatchedTo sections to Status Report
  • SONGKONG-1886 Add BrowseBy Subtitle to Title part of Report to save space.
  • SONGKONG-2459 Add Match To MusicBrainz/Discogs sections back to Status Report
  • SONGKONG-2462 Match to MusicBrainz count of track/Album needs should roll up to Artist level
  • SONGKONG-2465 Excel limits no of rows to 1048576:Unable to do complete Spreadsheet Report:Invalid row number (1048576) outside allowable range (0..1048575)
  • SONGKONG-2467 Improvements for Large BoxSet with no Metadata
  • SONGKONG-2468 Fix for detecting Docker Version not applied universally
  • SONGKONG-2469 Failed call to wikipedia Url, but instead of returning still trys to read data causing it to hang
  • SONGKONG-2471 When matching subdisc to boxset we should be able to parse folder names that are just the number
  • SONGKONG-2476 If albumartist is only composer and this looks like a boxset then better to keep composer rather than adding a list performers/orchestra
  • Bug:
  • SONGKONG-2472 Sometimes we allow single songs in folder to match to album even if not album is not part of boxset folder is part of
  • SONGKONG-2473 Finding releases by Acoustid -> MBRecording -> MbRelease Id not seeming to find all matches

New in SongKong 9.3 (Jul 12, 2023)

  • Support For Docker version 2
  • We used to automatically try and detect if SongKong was running on Docker system, and if so we then used the special virtual folder /songkong for configuration. However, this method does not seem to work correctly with Docker systems using cgroup2 such as recent versions of Unraid. We have now changed this so we have special docker build so that the docker version of SongKong will always be configured to work for Docker.
  • Improved Reports
  • In the Browse by Folder section of reports the album covers have green success badges for each folder that has all songs matching MusicBrainz/Discogs and orange warning badges when they don’t. However, it was not possible to easily detect when all songs are matched to MusicBrainz/Discogs but not the same album, this is now improved so in these cases the badge will be a warning badge
  • For example in this screenshot although all six songs in Best of Eddie Cochran Folder folder have matched to to MusicBrainz the MB badge is orange because they have been matched to two different albums

New in SongKong 9.2 (Jun 26, 2023)

  • HD Albums:
  • This release now better handles when an album consists of both HD and non HD tracks, if you have the Add [HD] to album title for High Definition albums option enabled it will now added [MIXED] for all tracks so the album name is consistent instead of adding [HD] to the Hd tracks and nothing to the non Hd tracks. This ensures the album name is consistent for the whole album, this is important for music playback and if you rename your tracks based on metadata to ensure the album is not split.
  • Delete Duplicates:
  • This release also makes some improvements to Delete Duplicates, the Same song and album (metadata only) option was not taking tracknos into account so if an album had multiple versions of the same song then they could inadvertently be marked as duplicates when not.
  • Before this releases the Song is a duplicate if has same options that use Sounds the Same require the songs to already have an Acoustid Fingerprint. But this needs to be done when run Fix Songs, and unless the Force Acoustic fingerprints even if already matched option was enabled it was not done automatically for all songs.
  • Now in new version Delete Duplicates will create an acoustid fingerprint as required if found to be missing. But this is only used for Delete Duplicates, it is not saved to the file so if want to use Sounds the Same it is still more efficient to create them when run Fix Songs
  • Monitor Watch Folder:
  • It fixes an issue with Monitor Watch Folder if you try to modify the watch folder without restarting SongKong
  • Full list of Fixes:
  • Improvement:
  • SONGKONG-2418 1 Add [MIXED] rather than [HD] to album title if albums have a mixture of HD and non HD tracks
  • Bug:
  • SONGKONG-1742 If using Delete Duplicates with acoustids should automatically add them if missing
  • SONGKONG-2410 Remote:Clone Filename button missing
  • SONGKONG-2426 Some pages of reports for new tasks still refer to Fix Songs even though not run as part of Fix Songs task
  • SONGKONG-2427 Delete Duplicates with Sounds the Same option only works if already created fingerprints using Fix Songs
  • SONGKONG-2437 When using Rename Files and Move should ensure the Base Folder itself is never deleted
  • SONGKONG-2439 Remote:Delete Duplicates not showing warning if picks metadata only criteria
  • SONGKONG-2440 Delete Duplicates Same song and Same album(metadata only) option should also consider trackno
  • SONGKONG-2441 Watch Folder doesnt work second time if change the folder used as a Watch Folder

New in SongKong 9.0.1 (May 12, 2023)

  • This release fixes issues with the original version of Drukqs of:
  • On upgrade from earlier version
  • Not preserving license
  • Not copying new profiles
  • This was fixed in subsequent version of Drukqs, so if you have not encountered these issues there is no particular need to update, but some platforms such as Melco Digital Server do not support reinstalling the same version so SongKong 9.0.1 was necessary.

New in SongKong 9.0 (May 11, 2023)

  • Fix Songs Split into Multiple Tasks
  • The original concept behind Fix Songs was that with essentially one click SongKong could go away and sort out all your music, and this works well for many but over the years we have noticed some recurring themes:
  • Customers enable rename files from metadata first time they run Fix Songs, and then not happy with results. There is a double whammy here, if the song metadata is not to customers liking then problem will be amplified if files are then renamed using the same metadata.
  • Naim users moving from Naim hardware just want to use the Naim feature to only add the naim metadata back into the files, this is quite a different task to the usual musicbrainz/discogs matching.
  • Customers wishing to just rename files, although Fix Songs can be configured to kind of just do this it will still do a few extra things, also the order folders are completed is not fixed and this can cause clashes when renaming files if customer has multiple copies of same album.
  • So we have now kept the core functionality of Fix Songs but now moved Naim Import Metadata, Rename Files and Delete Metadata fields (MetaGrater) into their own tasks. We also rejigged the code to make it much easier to add new tasks in the future.
  • Profiles confined to Particular Task
  • Previously any Profile (set of user preferences) could be used with any task, but this was confusing and it would be clearer if profile match task, i.e Fix Songs profiles, Status Report profiles ectera
  • We now have this!
  • When you select a task it then takes you to do a Select Profile screen that lets you select the profile to use (or clone/rename/delete profiles), the profiles listed are restricted to that task, each task has at least one default profile called Default
  • New Icons
  • We were struggling to find new icons for new tasks, and even the existing icons were not that well aligned to each other. So we have swapped to monochrome FontAwesome icons. This gives us a a much larger set of consistent icons, and a mechanism for getting new icons designed.Remote Mode had a makeover

New in SongKong 3.16 Build 1054 (Jun 19, 2015)

  • This release fixes two issues with SongKongs iTunes integration:
  • SONGKONG-863:OSX:Error when unable to find track in iTunes
  • SONGKONG-864:OSX:ITunes integration can cause Songs Done to be under-reported
  • Error handling:
  • Usually SongKong can be run on any number of files without memory issues, but badly behaved images can cause a memory issue. SongKong was not recovering from this error and if the memory issue did reoccur when loading songs SongKong was not reporting the error correctly, this is now resolved.
  • SONGKONG-868:If memory error occurs on file load with cover image doesnt recover properly
  • Report Improvements:
  • We have added a new option for reports. This option can be used to prevent the report being opened automatically, the report is still created and can be opened immediately after processing from the summary panel or from the Reports menu.
  • Once SongKong has finished a task such as Fix Songs it now automatically closes the progress dialog, previously it had to be manually dismissed.
  • The dialogs have been tidied up so that they do not show Discogs counters when the customer is not trying to match songs to Discogs.
  • SONGKONG-863:OSX:Error when unable to find track in iTunes
  • SONGKONG-864:OSX:ITunes integration can cause Songs Done to be under-reported

New in SongKong 3.15 Build 1053 (Jun 4, 2015)

  • Firstly this includes modifications required to work with cover art newly added to Discogs in the last two months, this is required due to a change in how Discogs provides their cover art data.
  • Then we have fixed a problem matching song title and track total when matching multi-disc Discogs releases.
  • We recommend you update to this latest version of SongKong and then run Fix Songs over your collection with the For Songs Already Matched to MusicBrainz releases to Update Metadata and Filename Only. This will fix any data that may have been incorrectly added in earlier releases and will also updated your previously matched songs the very latest data added to MusicBrainz and Discogs.

New in SongKong 3.14 Build 1052 (Mar 7, 2015)

  • Unable to load large folder containing songs directly within it:
  • If customers have all their files in one folder and that folder is on the network then SongKong can timeout before loading all files.
  • A few months ago the Database Unreturned Connection Timeout option was set to 30 minutes to protect against against hibernate connection being deadlocked and therefore unable to return, it was part of a two prong defence against processes getting stuck. The other was adding a limit of 30 minutes for processing of any grouping- the original implementation of this was a little buggy but is now working correctly so we are safe to remove the Database Unreturned Connection Timeout and this fixes the issue.
  • Release Date comparison is incorrect:
  • When deciding between similar MusicBrainz releases we take the release date into account, and score earlier release dates higher. At one point the server only stored a single release date (and country) for a release but can now store multiple release date/country combinations (known as Release Events) but the client code was not updated to use release events, now fixed.
  • If fingerprint is AQAAAA dont check it:
  • If Acoustid generates the above fingerprint for a song it means it could not actually generate a valid fingerprint so we should not try and lookup and Acoustid Id for it.
  • Discogs matching threshold checks should be higher:
  • We have to be stricter when matching Discogs releases than MusicBrainz because we can not use AcoustId as a crosscheck, so the matching threshold has been increased.
  • If matching takes more than 24 hours time taken in summary just shows remainder
  • Both report and logs dont show correct timezone
  • Both these issues are to do with the displays of dates, I took the opportunity to familiarize myself with the new Java 8 Date/Time api to fix this.

New in SongKong 3.13 Build 1051 (Feb 17, 2015)

  • REGRESSION: When reusing existing Discogs Releases as candidates not checking trackcount:
  • When reusing existing Discogs Releases as candidates SongKong was not checking trackcount properly. The check to see if the there are more tracks than the number of songs to match which is not allowed if you have Only allow match if all tracks on album were matched is incorrect. We tried to fix this in SongKong 3.12 but made a mistake but it is now fixed.
  • If MetadataMatcher fails if it needlessly does Match Recording Only again:
  • If song matching by metadata fails to find a match it needlessy does Match Recording Only, and there is no point because this would have already been done during the Match by Folder stage, worse than that metadata matching can be called a number of times for the same group of songs. So wasted processing that can cause timeouts if extending the length of matching for a grouping over the timelimit and use additional amounts of memory.

  • Regressions fixed:
  • In 3.11 we made a change so that if your songs already had a MusicBrainz or Discogs Id we considered that release as a release candidate even if it wasn't found as a potential match in the normal way. But we didn't get this quite right, the problem was that if you have Only allow match if all tracks on album were matched enabled then SongKong should reject any release that has more tracks that the song grouping you are trying to match to it. But a release found by existing id was circumventing this check. Now fixed.
  • SongKong always writing genres as number if in Standard genre list:
  • Mp3s make use of a standard genre list and if your genre is in the list SongKong actually stores the associated number rather than the text, for example it would store 17 instead of Rock (if your genre is not in the list it stores the text). However some applications such as iTunes don't understand the numbers properly if Save:Save songs so they work best with iTunes is enabled SongKong should always writes genres as text even if they are in the known list. This was not working but it now is.
  • SongKong not loading some Mp3s with bad metadata:
  • We have also improved how SongKong loads mp3s so it can cope with songs with corrupted metadata.
  • SongKong should only add Bpm for songs that do not have it:
  • In the last release we added support for adding the Bpm for songs (Pro version only) but now modified it so that it only adds Bpm if the song does not already have a Bpm.

New in SongKong 3.11 Build 1049 (Feb 5, 2015)

  • Improve Recognition of Multi-Folder Albums:
  • If you have Only Allow match if All Songs Matched and Only Allow Match if all tracks on album matched the problem is that although SongKong considers the two sub folders as being part of one release it does an additional check based on name to confirm this, and that check is case-sensitive so SongKong found cd but doesn't match CD so it decides that each sub-folder represents a separate album then it tries to match each folder in turn and of course cannot find an album that can be completely matched by just one of the folders.
  • Always consider existing MusicBrainz Release Id when rematching:
  • When rematching SongKong ignored existing MusicBrainz Ids and matched purely based on the AcoustIds and user metadata. However we should always consider an existing MusicBrainz Release Id when rematching. This protects against SongKong not finding good matches when it should do and also provides better parity with Jaikoz. The existing MusicbrainzReleaseId will only be used if it is the best scoring match of the release candidates.
  • Always consider existing Discogs Release url when rematching:
  • And the same logic applies for Discogs matches as well.
  • Always do AcoustId match when metadata match was for a Various Artist release:
  • Assume you have a 2 CD Various Artist release with both discs in subfolders and you have Only Match if all Songs in Grouping Match enabled but Only allow match if all tracks in album were matched is disabled.
  • Now if initially SongKong fails to group the two folders as one grouping it will do a metadata search and because that includes a search on artist:Various Artist plus a fuzzy search on title plus track count. the Track count will be wrong for our release because track count is based on one cd only. Because the search is for a Various Artist and fuzzy release the search probably will find a number of releases matching this an the invalid track count. If we find lots of potential matches then an AcoustId match would not be done (for performance reasons) so we end up not finding and scoring against the correct release and hence no match.
  • Now if Only allow match if all tracks in album were matched is disabled.and we did a Various Artist search we always ensure we do an AcoustId match regardless of how many metadata matches we got.

New in SongKong 3.10 Build 1048 (Feb 3, 2015)

  • Treat track names like 'Track 1' as blank:
  • SongKong uses existing metadata to match songs and to validate acoustid matches, but sometimes existing metadata should not be used. The most common culprit is track names of the form Track 1, Track 2, Track 3 ectera , whilst these can be valid track names they normally are not so now if existing metadata contains such names we just treat as if the song currently has no title.
  • Regression:Discogs matching Thread prematurely ending:
  • This regression was introduced in SongKong 3.9 by the change to match multi-folders groupings to Discogs after a failed MusicBrainz match before attempting matching sub folders. Unfortunately this change could cause Discogs matching to stop prematurely, it is now fixed in this new release.
  • Full list of changes:
  • Bug SONGKONG-818: NullPointer on RevertChanges when have dragged files from Itunes
  • Improvement SONGKONG-819: Treat track names like 'Track 1' as blank
  • Bug SONGKONG-827: SongKong can allow incomplete matches to MusicBrainz release with right number of tracks

New in SongKong 3.9 Build 1047 (Jan 29, 2015)

  • Better Discogs Artwork Coverage:
  • Discogs has a concept of primary artwork and secondary artwork, primary artwork contains the front cover art and secondary artwork was used for other images such as the back cover or sleeve inserts. It used to be that an editor could specify whether an image was primary or secondary. But now when editing the first image is always considered the primary image and all other images are secondary images, this order can be modified by dragging and dropping the images in Discogs to make a different image the primary image
  • However the Discogs data dumps contain many releases that only contain secondary images and no primary images. The precise reason for this is still unclear but whereas SongKong previously ignored secondary images meaning no Discogs images was found for these releases SongKong 3.9 now makes use of the secondary image if a release contains no primary image but does contain secondary images.
  • For you this means even better image coverage
  • Improved Matching:
  • For multi disc releases grouped one folder per disc SongKong could incorrectly match just one of the folders to a MusicBrainz release and not the others if MusicBrainz only contained a single disc version, even if the complete release was available in Discogs. Now when matching multi-folder groupings if it fails to match the folders to MusicBrainz SongKong attempts Discogs match before breaking into subfolders and matching each folder to MusicBrainz only if no Discogs match is found.
  • If you have iTunes configured to make a copy of all songs added to it (the default) then any songs with no metadata are added to the Unknown Artist/Unknown Album folder. SongKong now realizes that this folder does not represent an actual album and therefore should be treated as one.
  • A silly assumption crept in somewhere that if all songs are by different artists then it must be a Various Artists compilation but this is often not true such as in this album - and this prevented SongKong matching albums when it should have.
  • Various Fixes:
  • We also have a host of bug fixes across various parts of SongKong

New in SongKong 3.8 Build 1046 (Jan 14, 2015)

  • Installer:
  • We have improvements to the Windows installer, its now a self-extracting archive
  • Stability:
  • If your database was corrupted you could try and recreate it by using Empty Database but this did not always work and you had to manually recreate the database folder, this is now handled by SongKong.
  • Matching Improvements:
  • There are some bug fixes and improvements to matching itself. SongKong was not always doing its Acoustid double-check to ensure that songs had not been matched to a song with a title that didn't match the songs Acoustid, this is fixed.
  • SongKong had an issue when matching fields with a quote in it, this could prevent potential albums being returned, now fixed.
  • SongKong tries to weed out duplicate songs when matching a folder of songs to an album, but it was incorrectly identifying songs with the same name but actually different track lengths as different songs, such as the two versions of L.O.V.E on this release.
  • Improved Match Song only to both match more songs, and to be careful when matching songs when you already have a song with a different title.
  • We also fixed a bug that when renaming files from multidisc releases from a folder per disc to one folder per complete album we were left with folders that should have been deleted.
  • Report Improvements:
  • The Fix Songs report now comes with extra instructions on how to navigate it, and errors are now timestamped

New in SongKong 3.7 Build 1045 (Jan 5, 2015)

  • Very Long Song Titles:
  • Classical releases can often have long titles because according to the MusicBrainz Classical Guidelines if they are part of a work they should contain the Work title in each song title, for example here. And Operas should contain each act or scene as in here. This means when matching existing song titles it takes longer because there are more words to match, it is also harder to match because these guidelines don't reflect as accurately what is written on the cover as for non-classical releases.
  • Very Large Releases:
  • Because many classical composers catalogues are out of copyright it is inexpensive for music publishers to release large box sets of a composers output. One such example is the 100 CD Complete Works Beethoven release. Its actually too large to show reliably in MusicBrainz so instead I show the results of a search .Trying to match songs to large releases is invariably more time consuming than smaller releases because there are so many permutations to consider, actually expotentially more.

New in SongKong 3.5 Build 1043 (Dec 12, 2014)

  • Delete Duplicate Songs:
  • First of all we found some bugs in Delete Duplicates that have now been fixed.
  • The help for Delete Duplicates has been completely rewritten to give more detail and make more sense for non-MusicBrainzers and additional checks and balances have been added to make Delete Duplicates work better in Trial mode.
  • The we added a new option to Song is a duplicate if has same called Same song (metadata only). This is very similar to Same MusicBrainz song only for finding duplicate songs without being concerned about albums, but without the need to match the songs to MusicBrainz first (although we would always recommend using the MusicBrainz based options whenever possible)
  • Help:
  • Help has been edited, including simplification of the terminology such as using Album instead of Release and Song instead of Recording. We have added a Pdf version accessible from the Help menu for some bedtime reading, but seriously the Pdf version works well if you want a paper copy of the SongKong manual.
  • Fix Songs:
  • But despite what I say at the start of this post we have made some improvements to FixSongs as well, these include some major performance improvements based on improvements we made in Jaikoz 8.

New in SongKong 3.3 Build 1041 (Nov 4, 2014)

  • SongKong now does a much better job of matching songs to multi-disc releases such as box sets, previously if checking against very large releases such as this 50 Cd Elvis Presley Box Set SongKong could take a long time, now the matching is quick and accurate.
  • Match Song to Recording only is now more effective at identifying the correct song when an acoustid matches to multiple recordings because it takes existing metadata into account.
  • Discogs matching is more effective because SongKong can now find matching albums based on the existing song titles in your files, before potential albums were only found based on existing artist and album name metadata.
  • We have also improved the identifying of duplicates when matching songs by taking into account acoustids and song title metadata at the same time. By identifying duplicates files we can better match the non-duplicates files to the correct album.
