How to query for tags?

[xaizek]

Hi,

Thanks for glyr. I'm trying to use it for fetching missing tags, but it doesn't seem to work. If I search for lyrics like this

glyrc lyrics --artist "Godsmack" --title "Greed"

it works, but same query doesn't work for tags:

$ glyrc tags --artist "Godsmack" --title "Greed"
- Artist   : godsmack
- Title    : greed
- Language : us
- Type     : tags
---- Triggering: musictree local musicbrainz 

Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong and why it doesn't work?

I'm using version built from current master (1255fd2).

Thanks.

Hi,

it is likely that there are simply no tags for this song.
libglyr's "tags" are not the IDV3 tags you would get from tools like picard,
they are just ordinary pieces of information a user would give the item.
Try for example this:

$ glyrc tags --artist "Metallica"  -n20 --as-one
- Artist   : metallica
- Language : de
- Type     : tags

This is more of a toy feature, sometimes usable for displaying a "tag cloud".
If you really want to supplement missing tags, you shoud look into libmusicbrainz.

You're right, these are not the tags I need. It's just when word "tags" goes near "music" I assume those are IDV3 tags. Thanks for the clarification.
