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
