For iTunes Match, how come some songs "match" on an album and other songs on the same album "upload" without matching?

For iTunes Match, how come some songs "match" on an album and other songs on the same album "upload" without matching?  All songs are available on iTunes.  I don't get it!  Any way to manually match songs that iTunes apparently can't match?  I have hundreds in this unmatched state.

Shazam has NO problem determining what these songs are. Maybe Apple needs to consider licensing their technology as it seems MUCH more accurate than what they are doing.
You aren't comparing like with like.
The main task that Shazam has is to identify the name or a track and the artist. I believe that it suggests the album as well, but if it gets that wrong then it doesn't really matter too much.
With iTunes Match, getting the album (i.e. identifying which version it is) is much more important. If it gets that wrong then it breaks up the flow of an album. This makes the task that match has very much harder.
In fact, there is a strong argument to say that currently the problem iTunes has is that it is matching too many songs, resulting in matches from different albums.
I'm sure that match is not struggling to identify whether it has a song or not, but whether it has the correct version of a song. When you introduce different masterings into the process then, depending on the thresholds set, it is probably correct in concluding that it hasn't got a particular version, even if you think it has.
The solution would appear to me to be a tweaking of the matching thresholds along with the ability to force an upload, but we just don't know what restrictions they have (remember that if Shazam gets it wrong the it doesn't present you with a copy of a new track that you didn't have previously). It is almost certainly not just a case of improving their technology.

  • How to export an album and keep images in the same order in elements 11 mac

    I made an album of my trip to Australia (lots of pictures) and changed the order of the images (not the same as shooting order) and when I export the images in the album to a folder or memorystick, the images are copied to that place but I lost the album order of the images.
    How can I prevent that, without having to renumber al 500 images separatly?

    Thanks for the tip, Michel
    It worked like a charm…

    The order in album is only kept in the organizer database, so the only way not to lose that order is to rename files.
    If you are using the 'export' function, select your album in custom order, select all photos and in the dialog, choose to rename with a common base name.

  • I have an Ipod Touch 4.I've ben able to sync my music but some tracks from the same CD are being displayed as though they are from separate albums and not part of the same one!

    Tracks from imported cds are appearing as though they are from separate albums.Particularly  if they are compilations.

    You can use iTunes to select the multiple tracks of the same album, and give them the same Album Name from the info window.
    If that does not solve your problem, be sure to check if your songs have different sorting albums. If so, change or delete the text in the sorted albums text field.

  • Itunes charged me for the uncensored and censored version of the same album

    It said purchasing album I confirmed but when I left the room my laptop was closed. It didn't ending up downloading at all so i re downloaded the album or so I thought. Itunes dose not say if the album is explit or not when u buy it so it turns out it bought the clean version and the explit because I thought I hit the explit album both times. Any one know how I can get my $13  back ? thank you

  • Can I (and if so, how would I) connect two encoders (one linear and one angular) to the same chassis (NI 9401) and get their respective NI MAX tasks to run as simultaneously as possible?

    Sorry, but I am still rather new to LabVIEW and NI MAX. I connected both devices (a linear probe and an angular encoder) to my NI 9401 chassis. I figured out how to create tasks for each and get continous samples readings from each. When trying to run both in LabVIEW, I get the error saying that I cannot run multiple tasks at once. It suggests the Control Task VI, but I did not see any help in that. Any advice?
    Here is some general information, whatever it is worth: Both encoders are operating off of the same clock source, PFI4, which to my knowledge corresponds to CTR 1 A, where the angular encoder's A signal is wired in. The linear's physical channel is ctr0 and the angular's is ctr1.
    Thank you very much for taking the time to look at this and help me out!
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    So if I go the Edge Counter route, is there any way for the task to figure out direction of the encoders? It looks like my options are always counting up or always counting down whenever the encoder is read... For my application, I need it to read when the linear encoder goes in and when it goes out... Am I doing something incorrectly with it?
    I am using a probe to measure the contour of a part, and using a motor to spin the part, with one encoder measuring the angle of the motor and the other measuring the displacement of the probe.
    Also I am still not seeing a way to simultaneously read both devices in NI MAX... I cannot use two counter inputs from the same device at once in the same task it seems.

  • [SOLVED] How to use timidity++ and other programs at the same time?

    I have installed timidity following arch wiki instructions - I have soundfont, and I start it in /etc/rc.conf
    It works properly with tuxguitar (and tuxguitar-alsa) or kmid, but I cannot play MIDI and - for example - oggs in amarok at the same time.
    I suspect that the problem is that timidity doesn't use dmix alsa plugin I have made in my ~/.asoundrc.
    The question is: how to tell timidity to use my dmix plugin?

  • How come some of my "top sites" in safari won't show the pages?

    I had to restore my system and now some of the TOP SITES in safari wont show the pages and only show the black page.  If I click on the black page, it loads the page, but it stays black in top sites.  Any help would be nice thanks

    It is probably just an artifact of restoring. Once you type their names into the url bar again, the sites and their last images will show up again in Top Sites.
    I use an obscure method that clears all caches on every logout, and my top sites always comes up all black when I log in. It is not really a defect, it just does not have an old page-image to show you until you visit that site again.

  • How can we have a column having text and radio button in the same line?

    Hi,
    I have a column which needs to have data with a radio button. Was able to achieve this by using <trh:tableLayout>. But when i select the radio button it shifts to the next line. Want to stop this behavior of radio button of shifting to the next line. This column also includes a hyperlink.So the text and hyperlink are made visible invisible based on radio button action.
    Adding one more doubt. Can a particular columns horizontalgrid can be made invisible?
    Any help would be appreciated.
    sample code:
    <trh:cellFormat id="cf8" halign="start">
    <af:activeOutputText value="#{row.Actions}" id="aot2"/>
    <af:goLink text="#{row.Actions}" id="gl1"
    clientComponent="true" visible="false"
    targetFrame="_blank" destination="http:// + #{row.BUTTON_URL}">
    </af:goLink>
    <af:selectBooleanRadio text="" id="sbr1">
    <af:clientListener method="selectCheckBox" type="click"/>
    </af:selectBooleanRadio>
    </trh:cellFormat>
    Thanks,
    Nita

    Remove the <trh:> components. Put the other components as direct children of the PanelGroupLayout:
    <af:column id="c2" headerText="Actions">
      <af:panelGroupLayout id="pgl6" layout="horizontal">
        <af:activeOutputText value="#{row.Actions}" id="aot2"/>
        <af:goLink text="#{row.Actions}" id="gl1"
                   clientComponent="true" visible="false"
                   targetFrame="_blank" destination="http:// + #{row.BUTTON_URL}">
        </af:goLink>
        <af:selectBooleanRadio text="" id="sbr1">
          <af:clientListener method="selectCheckBox" type="click"/>
        </af:selectBooleanRadio>
      </af:panelGroupLayout>
    </af:column>If you need to add some horizontan space between the components, you can put <af:spacer>(s) between the components.

  • Itunes two versions of the same album?

    Hello,
    I have two versions, high res audio and CD quality, of the same album of an artist located in two folders "Album Title" and "Album Title HD".
    By adding the two folders to the iTunes mediathek, all tracks are merged under "Album Title" in iTunes. Do I have to manipulate the meta data to avoid this behavior in iTunes? Interestingly the views on the Mac and via iOS Remote App are different:
    Mac:
    Track 1
    Track 1 HD
    Track 2
    Track 2 HD
    etc.
    Rmote App:
    Track 1
    Track 2
    Track Last
    Track 1 HD
    Track 2 HD
    I disabled the automatic handling option for iTunes import. So still two folders in the iTunes music folder exist.
    Any ideas?
    Andreas

    If you want them to appear as separate albums you will have to change the metadata for one of the albums.  There are many ways to do this and which one you use will depends upon your preferences.
    You can make it obvious by doing something such as adding a descriptor to the album name e.g., Album Name [CD quality]
    You can "hide".  If you do not normally use the album artist field and you add an album artist to that field for one of the versions it will cause that to sort separately.  Similarly if you add a number to the disc number field that should normally get it to display separately.
    Alternatively you can come up with a smart playlist to sort according to kind.

  • Sorting Songs From the Same Album but Different Artists

    I have the Warped Tour 2014 Compilation CD. I want all of the songs on this album to be grouped into the same album. I know I could do this by giving them the same album artist, but here's my problem: When I do that, it separates songs by an artist from other songs by the same artist. One of the artists on the album is Less Than Jake. I have other music by Less Than Jake, and I want this song to be grouped with their other songs, which doesn't work if I change the album artist. I want the song to stay in the compilation album but also grouped with other songs by the same artist. How can I do this?

    Stick with using the correct Album Artist for the album.
    Visit the Songs > Column Browser view and untick View > Column Browser > Use Album Artists. This should allow all of the Less Than Jake songs to be listed under the artist.
