Seriously, you call this matching?

Honestly, i like iTunes Match and the whole idea behind it. And I can see that something like that is a complicated matter. But today I came to the point that matching did not even match its own songs: I've downloaded a few songs, that have been matched, in better quality. Since I give my tags a personal flavor (like I put the release year before the album name), so I've deleted the songs from the library, spiced up the tags and put the same songs back into the library. End of story: 9 songs have been matched, 1 song was uploaded. Seriously, that was a song from the store with one tiny tag change. You've got to be kidding me.

I've been able to replicate this, just now -- tried a few hundred random iTM'd AAC's and four of them ended up as uploads.  I checked the timestamps and they were all in November (iTunes 10.5.1), so I thought that maybe it was due to the newer version of iTunes.
But then I did a second test -- this time with a few hundred songs I've done just in the last two days.  And sure enough, one of them was uploaded. I then deleted and tried my original file, and that one still matched!   I actually tried this on two different systems with the exact same results.
I can't really explain this, since I don't know how the Match process works.  But I always figured that it used the actual song in the database as its waveform footprint.  But now I'm not so sure of that given that I have matched tracks that I cannot rematch - perhaps the waveform analysis is coming from somewhere else?
I'll poke around some more and if I find an example on a song that's fairly common, I'll post it here.   That way perhaps someone else can confirm the same, if they have the same song.

  • What do you call this basic technique?

    Request: Is there a name for the technique I'm using below, because I
    know I've seen it and done it before.
    Context: I'd like to allow the user to resize images, while preserving
    their width:height aspect ratio. My GUI has a pair of JSpinners, for width
    and height, and when one is adjusted, the other should change.
    Example: if the aspect ratio is 2:1, setting the width spinner to 201
    should cause the height spinner to change to 100 (I truncate), whilst setting
    the height spinner to 100 should cause the width spinner to change to 200.
    But: I don't want those reactions to cascade: from the example, if the
    user sets the width spinner to 201, the height spinner should change to 100,
    but that is where it should stop -- the width spinner shouldn't itself react
    and change to 200.
    My solution: I'm a fan of fixing it in the model, and here is my tweak for
    SpinnerNumberModel: public class SafeSpinnerNumberModel extends SpinnerNumberModel {
         public SafeSpinnerNumberModel(int value, int minimum, int maximum, int stepSize) {
             super(value, minimum, maximum, stepSize);
         public void setValue(Object value) {
             if (!inSetValue) {
                 inSetValue = true;
                 super.setValue(value);
                 inSetValue = false;
         private boolean inSetValue;
    In my code, there are two JSpinners (with SafeSpinnerNumberModels),
    and each model has a ChangeListener that reacts by adjusting the other model.
    The flag stops the potential feedback loop.
    So, again, what would you call this technique?
    Thanks,

  • What do you call this?

    Hi, I'm very junior in programming and I want to build my
    resume from what I learn everyday at work. Today I learned how to
    write an application using CF without any interface. What my app.
    does is to read a text file, my boss calls this file a feed file.
    Then I put the records into a tables in a DB and then I need to use
    these tables to
    create the rest of the logic. After I'm done with it I need
    to set up my app. to pick up this feed every day once a day in
    certain location. So I also learned how to set up a schedule Task
    from CF administrator.
    Now, i want to write this experience in my resume, what am i
    supposed to say? can anyone help please? Thank you

  • (OT) What would you call this section of a Graphic Portfolio website?

    On my graphic design portfolio website, there will be a Portfolio section where you'll see finished items like posters and flyers.
    But I'll also add a section containing various airbrushing/photoshopping jobs. This section will hold before/after images... like 1) A picture of a person, 2) A picture of a cave, and 3) The photoshopped picture of the person inside the cave, with arrows to indicate that the first two pictures were merged. The section will also contain traditional airbrushing (before/after model shots).
    I am reluctant to call it just "Airbrushing" because there's a lot more intricate work than that. Taking a person or object out of one environment and placing them in another is referred to as "Photoshopping" nowadays... but I'd like to use an expression that isn't specific to this program, if at all possible. What would be a more appropriate name for such a section?
    I thought of "Photo Editing". Would that work? Or does that make you think of something else entirely?

    Well, I was being serious.  You didn't list the size limitation initially.
    How about "Work Samples", "See My Work", "Some of My Work".

  • Do NOT "update" to Anna!! You call this an UPDATE?...

    I knew I shouldn't have done it. Anyway, I got the **bleep**. Ehm... I mean, Anna.
    Here's what I got:
    - it took me ages to figure WHY my N8 was now connecting to the web using the mobile network. Turned out if it was now set to the G3 system, and for some reason it just doesn't CARE that you set it to use strictly your home wireless. So, I can only use GSM.
    - Out on the street, just NO WAY to browse using the mobile network, viceversa. Well, cool, it will help saving some money, I guess.
    - New themes and keyboard to enter messages. Nokia, what kind of beings do you employ in R&D, rats???!! Have you EVER seen a HUMAN being? I have NORMAL fingers, and I can tell you there is NO WAY I can use these **bleep**ing keys you and Anna have conceived.
    That's for the last 24 hours, will keep you UPDATEd with new findings. 

    I am having very bad experiece other than the keyboard and  features which they call it as added advantages....My problem after the upgrade are below:
    1. My N8 battery which used to last for minimum 2 to 3 days (for my normal usage - voice call, little GPRS browsing), after the upgrade it lasting only for 8 to 12 hours. When I installed battery monitor utility it says some Backgroud application is utilizing all my battery power.
    2. Phone is restarting by itself when not in use or when any call is landing.
    3. I tried formatting it couple of times using *#7370#  and 3 button reset and ended up more problem of losing internet not getting connected with error network connection rejected.
    4. I am using Nokia phone for past 8 years (Nokia 7610, N73Music edition) and I bought this N8 last year. I never had such a bad experience with any models. I am planning to scrap it and go for iPhone3GS which is now almost the same cost as N8 in chennai now.
    If I had referred to the forum prior to my update I wouldnt have done upgraded it. This is the first biggest mistake I did in my life.
    Is any Nokia R&D tech is reading this? Could you please give me any ERT for this issue fix else we will all come and literally throw the nokia handset and move to other products...
    Need a reply urgent...

  • TS4268 Only way to fix problems caused by update is to erase all content from phone?  You call this a fix????

  • Why are you calling this the most customizable version when you've taken away customization options?

    I used to be able to move the back, forward, refresh, and stop (and make them separate buttons as well). With this version, they're immovable, and you're some how saying this is more customizable.

    For the first time, starting in Firefox 29, the menu is customizable, and there is a right-click option to easily move items between the menu and the main navigation toolbar. But you are correct that some previously detachable parts of the address bar are no longer detachable, and the tab bar can't be moved below the navigation toolbar through the customize feature.
    I don't know how to score that mix of gains and losses, but really, this support forum is aimed at making the current release of Firefox work for you. Did you find a solution, such as the [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/classicthemerestorer/ Classic Theme Restorer extension], or are you still in search of one?

    If i have 2 seprate classes in two different packages
    package in;

    public class BarnHorse
    public BarnHorse()
    Animal a=new Horse();
    //calling polymorphiclly the eat method in the horse class
    a.eat();
    the code compiles fine and calles the Horse version of eat and outputs "horse" although the calling class shouldn't know anything about the Horse eat version.

    Protected is the declaring class, subclasses of the declaring class, and classes in the same package as the declaring class. Else the code woudn't have compiled.
    [JLS 6.6.1 Determining Accessibility|http://java.sun.com/docs/books/jls/third_edition/html/names.html#6.6.1]:
    Otherwise, if the member or constructor is declared protected, then access is permitted only when one of the following is true:
    Access to the member or constructor occurs from within the package containing the class in which the protected member or constructor is declared.
    Access is correct as described in �6.6.2.

  • You call this Nokia Support?????

    Having problem with proximity and brightness sensors-not working after updating with cyan. Can anybody help? Stop offering me the nokia recovery tool.it does nothing.after using the tool or hard reset sensors working for an hour and just stop. I want my sensors working back. Microsoft should read feedback and make a bigfix just like Apple do in a week.or should get the chance to downgrade to any older windows phone. If i get the newest PC with windows 8 i can install ot in win xp. It has no updates anymore i know it but the choise which OS to use is mine... Its the same with the windows phone. I dont't like cyan and want to use lumia black. So give me something about my problems to make me continue using windows phone at all...

    My phone is NOT broken.many users have the same problem...you can read! I want an option to downgrade to lumia black.it is my right... With what exactly the cyan is better? One action center and background image...ooo i forget-many bugs-sensors,ringtones,camera , etc. I want the old software. Az i windows user i paid for my phone to use all the feautures it has,right? So i do not deserve to wait a bugfix to use my phone as normal. With all the advertises and promotions of cyan microsoft could worked harder to make the perfect OS like they said...there is gotta be an option for downgrading. Again-the choice is ours which software we are gonna use

  • HT4913 i am trying to get my computer and my wifes computer on my itunes match.  i did the add a computer function and it says that this computer is already associated with an apple id...if you use itunes match with your apple id etc for 90 days...please

    i did the add a computer function and it says that this computer is already associated with an apple id...if you use itunes match with your apple id etc for 90 days...please explain.  is this going to screw my wifes account up? 

    If you both have seperate iTunes Store accounts then basically, yes, it is going "screw up" your wife's account.
    iTunes Match is designed as a single-user service which is associated with one and only one iTunes Store account ID. If you have subscribed on your account and want to activate the service on another computer that is already signed in with an account the present account must be signed out and then iTunes signed into your account. This means the other computer will have complete access to your account and will only be able to make purchases on your account. iTM is not designed to be signed in and out at will. If she has apps purchased with her iTunes Store account they will not be able to be updated.

  • ITunes Match asks me to sign out and sign in again every time I attempt to update.  How do you fix this problem?

    iTunes Match asks me to sign out and sign in again every time I attempt to update.  How do you fix this problem?

    My problem is it asks me to sign out and back in every time I try to update ITunes Match. And it won't let you add a new song to a playlist unless it's updated on Match. So every time I add a song I have to sign out and back in just to put it on a playlist.  I saw this issue on the internet but no solution.
    Very sorry I did iTunes Match.  Shuffled my playlists without asking and this additional extra work just to add a song to a playlist.  Not impressed - at all.
    I do thank you for trying.  Surprised Apple doesn't monitor this stuff and step in and provide a fix.  Left to our own devices.  Thanks Apple!
