[REL] Gracenote, FreeDB, Amazon

[Patko]

This is time of exams, so i had plenty of time to do something else
Here are two scripts, one for gracenote and other for freedb, both with amazon support for pictures. If you find them useful..well..great
CDDB
FreeDB
Amazon support: Amazon
Oh, layout used here is for Eyael's mod, but you can of course change it if you want to.

i make prove with this script but the cover is not working

sorry for my english

[Patko]

Changes:
- moved Amazon functions to separate unit
- now using StringUtils1, which comes with amc
- cover search first searches with string from the result from cddb/freedb but if nothing is found it tries with search string the user entered.

I hope this also solves your problem, showmen, but if not could you please tell me title of the cd for which covers are not working.

Regards

I've finally found the right way to sort my cds.

Thank you.

@makeijan: u r welcome

If there are any suggestions or problems, let me know.

I'm working on my cd database, right now. I have an old PC, so it's going to take a long time to checke them all

There are a few of them without cover, and a few less that doesn't appear at FreeDB. Two things then (if possible):

1.- It would be nice, to check both freedb and cddb, when there's no entry in one of them. So if an album is not on freedb, it will automatically check cddb.

2.- The same with the covers, but I don't know another big shop where to find them.

My english isn't too good, so I hope you understand what I mean.

Thank you

could you check this script cddb and freedb andto import cove

uses
StringUtils1, Amazon; error in this line

thank you

[antp]

check that you have stringutils1.pas and amazon.pas in your scripts folder

[Patko]

After a long time I found some time and reworked all scripts. Now you have the option to use each module independently or together, whichever you prefer. The files are here:
amazon.ifs: Amazon plugin
cddb.ifs: CDDB plugin
freedb.ifs: FreeDB plugin
cddb_freedb.ifs: CDDB & FreeDB plugin together
UAmazon.pas: Amazon core module
UCDDB.pas: CDDB core module
UFreeDB.pas: FreeDB core module
UMusicCommon.pas: Common module
You also need StringUtils1.pas, which is part of the AMC install, I think.
EDIT: Or you can just download this zip file which includes all previous files.

All .pas files are mandatory, .ifs files are plugins and you can install all of them or just one, as you like.
Please note that these scripts aren't thoroughly tested and there may (and probably are) still be bugs, so please inform me if you find one.

If you will use combined CDDB and FreeDB script then results from each will be displayed in one pick tree, each under different root. I don't think there is a way to collapse the pick tree, so you must collapse it yourself or scroll all the way down to see results from FreeDB.

Amazing work, thank you.

Anyway I found a bug, with amazon picture capturing, I always get an amazon logo as image.

Do you have any ideas?

[Patko]

Well, I hope it's fixed now. Just redownload UAmazon.pas.

[makeijan]

Thank you.

Nice job.

[darts501]

there was an error getting pictures from the amazon site.

i reloades de amanon.pas and dont work

[Patko]

Apparently they have changed image links. I'll try to fix it during the weekend.

[darts501]

somebody to check this script

thanks

[Patko]

Um, I'm a bit late, sorry:)
Should work now. Just get UAmazon.pas (link above) and replace the old version.
There is of course a possibility it won't work for all albums. In that case please tell me for which album it doesn't work.

[makeijan]

I've had lots of discs to catalogue, and today was the day. Fortunaltely, you've fixed the Amazon problem.

Thank you.
