I am planning to write plugin for Windows Media Player, (or winamp) for my A1000. i am waiting for your suggestions; It will be freeware of course just tell me; - What is a must ? - What will be good if possible? and I will do my best, cause I am not really enjoying "connect player". PS: I understood most of the library stuff and mp3, probably software will be readey on 1st jan (i hope)

actually on my case, it is sending a sample from song (wave sound) and service recognizing song, and then it is updating all tag info (album, year etc) so basically it should work even without year info (i tried it with few tracks and it works without gender and year) it gets two new info fields like gender, these are artistlink, which is for example "progressive rock" and artistlinkwide "rock" so when you do search for link, first it lists all "progressive rocks" and if you widen your search you will see all "rock" thats why I see placebo and britney linked when I widen lol PS: I started to work on a Windows Media Player plugin for A1000, will try to finish on weekend (to synch my device) I don't know much experience about digital music, so you can always PM me your ideas

Ascariss, how many songs you have? actually I tried with 300, which took more than 1 hour on my 1mb connection... ----- deniz

it works (updates) after you put your songs to the player too... I uploaded 200 songs and left connect player open and connected to internet, and in the morning when I sych my device all artist data transfered... btw artist link is cool, but the wide search is really inaccurate -------- deniz

actually it is compatible with mp3s also as I mentioned on my previous post. But it takes ages to download information. Cause each time it sends an sample from mp3 as WAV to server and if sever recognizes the song, connect software asks for more information.. Actually I uploaded 300 songs yesterday to my library, and waited for recognation to finish (where there is no alert) and then uploaded them to my device... Full story: Here So basically it is working but there is no such info anywhere....

I finally understood how "artist link" works, and tried to describe, you can check from my blog. but it takes ages to complete all link data (at least on my connection = 1mbit) Connect PC Artist Link hope this helps

update: seems it uses moodlogic as secondary solution if first one fails (CDDB2 or CDDB) i will dig up more soon i hope

not sure but can be related to this topic... after some testing, i concluded that "artist link" function uses CDDB for finding the link. and I guess you need to rip your cd or you need CDDB2 compatible mp3s which store cddb info while they are ripped. If someone can confirm that failure with mp3s or success with CD rips, I will be glad.
