If so, can you send a sample?</p></div>hendriktag:help.beatunes.com,2009-07-24:Comment/451023362018-04-15T07:57:15Z2018-04-15T07:57:18ZBandcamp Tags<div><p>Thanks for the quick response, and please forgive my ignorance if I'm<br>
misunderstanding the program. I've attached a couple screenshots of what<br>
I'm talking about. So, on bandcamp (the first screenshot), the artists can<br>
classify their music with tags which is really helpful for all the<br>
microgenres on the site.</p>
<p>On Beatunes, I see the previously used tags section (second screenshot).<br>
I'm assuming this is being pulled from last.fm? My question is, would it be<br>
possible to use the API or maybe some other setting to pull the tag<br>
information from bandcamp?</p>
<p>I'm just trying to be able to organize the music more specifically by the<br>
artist's tags. Right now, the matchlist function doesn't work very well<br>
with my library because all the specific genre information is buried within<br>
those bandcamp tags.</p>
<p>I also submitted my library to the server if it's helpful! Any advice you<br>
might have would be very much appreciated!</p>
<p>Thanks a lot!<br>

<p>incorporating website tags in beaTunes is not super-trivial. But I'll have some solution for beaTunes 5.1.4. You might want to watch <a href="https://blog.beatunes.com/">https://blog.beatunes.com/</a> for updates on this.</p>
<p>Cheers,</p>

program, it’s really fantastic!</p></div>Shane Wirkestag:help.beatunes.com,2009-07-24:Comment/451023362018-04-17T07:01:32Z2018-04-17T07:01:32ZBandcamp Tags<div><p>Hey Shane,</p>
<p>if you want to try out a dev snapshot of 5.1.4, please download and install <a href="https://www.beatunes.com/download/beaTunes-5-1-4-SNAPSHOT.dmg">https://www.beatunes.com/download/beaTunes-5-1-4-SNAPSHOT.dmg</a></p>
<p>Then download the plugin <a href="https://www.beatunes.com/download/bandcamptags-1.0.0-SNAPSHOT.jar">https://www.beatunes.com/download/bandcamptags-1.0.0-SNAPSHOT.jar</a> To install the plugin, you have to place it manually into beaTunes' plugin directory and restart beaTunes. Please see <a href="http://help.beatunes.com/kb/plugins/how-to-install-a-plugin">http://help.beatunes.com/kb/plugins/how-to-install-a-plugin</a> for details.</p>
<p>Once the plugin is installed properly, it should be listed in the Preferences -> Plugins pane (see attached screenshot). To use it, you have two options:</p>
<ol>
<li>In the tags section of the <em>Get Info</em> dialog there is a little round button that lets you import top tags. This will search both LastFM and Bandcamp.<br></li>
<li>In the analysis options (that's the dialog that pops up, when you choose to analyze something) there is a new task (at the very bottom, you'll have to scroll) called "Import bandcamp tags". Simply enable that task.</li>
</ol>
<p>Unfortunately, bandcamp does not embed some sort of real ID into its files. But it does embed a comment like <code>Visit https://someband.bandcamp.com</code>. beaTunes reads this comment and then accesses the site. This is somewhat hacky and won't work if you have chosen to manipulate the comment field in some way. So your mileage may vary.</p>

<p>Thanks, Shane! :-)</p>
<p>If you run into any problems with this, please let me know!</p>

<p>PS: After 5.1.4 is out, the plugin will be available via the regular plugin download mechanism.</p></div>hendriktag:help.beatunes.com,2009-07-24:Comment/451023362018-04-17T11:50:24Z2018-04-17T11:50:25ZBandcamp Tags<div><p>Hi Hendrik,</p>
<p>For some reason, Beatunes5 didn't create a folder in my Application Support<br>
folder. However, I can access the package contents directly from the app in<br>
Applications. Is it possible to put the plugin there?</p>
<p>Thanks!<br>

<p>most likely you are looking at the wrong <code>Library</code> folder (macOS has multiple ones and hides the one you need).</p>
<p>To navigate to the correct <code>Library</code> folder, open Finder and open the menu <code>Go</code> and then <code>Go to Folder...</code>. Then enter <code>~/Library/Application Support/beaTunes/</code>. The <code>~</code> is absolutely essential for this to work.</p>
<p>Cheers,</p>

much for this functionality and for walking me through the setup, I really<br>
