(*Implemented) Request: Add Option to Automatically Identify and Tag Music From Browser Title

[CurtisCee]

Please inform the developer that the Automatically Identify and Tag Music option is hit and miss depending on lots of random variables. A very easy update to implement is to add a File Naming Rule that will pick up tags from the Browser Title, i.e. {browser artist} - {browser track}. This would allow the Automatic Identify and Tag Music option to be 100% accurate for many sites like Slacker.com rather than often inaccurate or defaulting to cryptic file names after a failed guess or look-up. Alternately, there could be two options, i.e. "Automatically Identify and Tag Music" and "Automatically Tag Music from Browser Title." For example, Slacker.com already displays how the file should be tagged in the title of the browser's header. This information would be easy to logically parse, i.e. "song" by "artist" from "album" etc. However, RMC only has an option to "guess" the Tag instead of a second option to automatically obtain the correct tag from the browser title which is a much simpler solution for tagging than the current implementation when available. Pandora doesn't display titles this way, but the browser title option should at least coexist with it for the sites that do. The fact that tags are often wrong or not found and then must be manually tagged with a rename counters the second biggest selling point of the RMC software: automatic tagging--the first being automatically recording the media itself that later requires tagging. In a perfect world, RMC would automatically "read the page" as we do by pulling the song and artist information from the same area on the page that we ourselves view it when listening to music or watching videos. This is easy to implement per site but is much more difficult to maintain for all of the sites as they requires unique tweaks in where the information exists on the page for each site, which would frequently change. Admittedly, this would be a strong selling point to add that individual site functionality for at least the most popular sites in the world such as Slacker especially since the functionality *already* exists for tagging popular sites such as Youtube: RMC automatically tags Youtube videos by pulling the name from the page title. The importance and draw of 100% accurate automatic tagging can't be overstated--since, again, it along with the media file capturing, is the primary reason RMC is your most popular software and biggest moneymaker. But for something more potentially universal, an option to capture tags from browser titles is cross-browser compatible and requires much less maintenance. Slacker.com for example is a simple parsing of "song" then "by" then "artist" then "album" in the browser header. But even without parsing, having RMC even automatically tag songs just as it currently does for Youtube videos from the page title, i.e. "Song by Artist from Album" would be a 100% accuracy starting point. Even in the worse case scenario, I'd rather have 100% accurate identification with an occasional cleaning up of automatic tags that didn't perfectly parse songs that had the words "by" or "from" in them versus the current solution of having 50% accurate identification with the need to manually rename every other song with complete artist and song information. I love your product and am a big fan; but this core functionality is such a buying motivator that not having more tagging flexibility is a lacking area. I only want this product to continue to succeed. Please contact me if you have any questions. But please submit this to the developers; he/she will immediately understand what I'm describing, will confirm that extending RMC's Youtube functionality to songs by detecting browser titles is very "easy" to code and "quick" to implement, and that the business manager would certainly see how it would increase your profits and the bottom line. Thanks for listening!
