BlissHq vs Beets with MusicBrainz for Music Metadata cleanup.

[landS]

I have been cleaning up my 2 decade old music collections' metadata for a long time now using Beets and MusicBrainz.

 

Stumbled across BlissHq earlier this week and after installing... letting it do its thing for about 9 hours post rule setup... I was able to come back and via its web interface and pound out in 4 hours what would have taken me 40+ hours using MusicBrainz as I had been.  After 10 minutes I paid for the full blown license.  Very impressed.

 

If someone is interested in making a BlissHq docker I would LOVE to test it out

 

Cheers (and possibly thanks!)

I just purchased Bliss to check it out.

I am in no way associated with BlissHQ... I just love that it easily solved the issue of cleaning up my music metadata after 15ish years of CD collecting... and 15ish years of messy, inconsistent tagging.

 

What are your thoughts FrozenGamer?  Docker Worthy ?

Just seen this!

 

If anyone's interested in looking at this, there's already:

 

https://hub.docker.com/r/gshipley/bliss/

https://hub.docker.com/r/strop/blisstagger/

 

The first one was mainly built for running on QNAP NAS devices which can host Docker. Not sure how that might compare... https://www.blisshq.com/music-library-management-blog/2015/12/01/installing-bliss-qnap-docker-container-station/

If looking for another MusicBrainz based tagger, we now have unRAID docker for SongKong Music Tagger - http://www.jthink.net/songkong/en/install_docker_unraid.jsp

Hi there

 

Thanks for the info, I was not aware of SongKong.  I'm currently run Picard from a workstation but if I can get everything in dockers, I'll definitely take a look. I read that it uses a DB to keep a change history so is there a process to backup the DB?  Every functionality is available through the web interface?  Do you have a nginx reverse proxy config file handy?  Are lite/standard/pro license types OK for docker/unraid use?

Hi, all data is written to the files themselves but also the database, but intenrion is fairly short term. For example you make changes with songkong, and a week later notice a problem with one album, so can undo the changes. So there is no db backup bevause i dont think thete would be much demand, buts its an idea. Yes, full functionality with webui, comes with lite for free, because unRaid needs webui a pro license is required for full functionality. Songkong is available  as an unraid docker, sorry i dont understand request for nginx reverse proxy file ?
