Export Issues

Hi,

I'm seeing some weird behavior when exporting songs, specifically related to song keys.

For the song in question: the song grid displays the key as C.

When I export a single song, the XML contains the following:

 <void property="key"> 
    <object class="com.tagtraum.audiokern.key.MajorKey" method="valueOf"> 
       <string>C_MAJOR</string> 
    </object> 
 </void>

When I export all songs for this artist, the XML is:

 <void property="key"> 
    <object id="MajorKey0" class="com.tagtraum.audiokern.key.MajorKey" method="valueOf"> 
       <string>C_MAJOR</string> 
    </object> 
 </void>

and when I export all songs in the library:

 <void property="key"> 
    <object idref="MajorKey6"/> 
 </void>

As I understand it, MajorKey6 maps to G Major, not C Major.

Any help would be appreciated.

if you experienced a crash or other abnormal behavior, you might want to attach log files from C:\Users\rick816us\AppData\Local\tagtraum industries\beaTunes\logs

    Hi,

    beaTunes uses http://java.sun.com/products/jfc/tsc/articles/persistence/ for export/import. So MajorKey6 may map to whatever was serialized before with that specific id. In other words, the id is not the same each time you export something, but refers to a key that was serialized earlier in the same file.

    Hope this helps,

    Hendrik,

    Thanks for the reply. I'm not a java expert, so I guess my question is;
    Is there a method (export, web service, etc) to access the current value
    of a metadata item?

    Thanks,

    Rick

    Hi Rick,

    Export or a plugin are your only options. How do you want to continue
    to process the data? I.e. what is your final goal?

    Hendrick,

    Just experimenting with some of beaTunes metadata. I should be able to
    get the data I want from your previous emails. I'll let you know how it
    goes.

    Rick
