Corey Gouker's Machine Inside the Mind

With a minor addition to the Find Album Wizard pipeline hours of frustration are gone. Before one would go through the wizard for any random album and hopefully find all of the tracks one by one. Sometimes on random albums random tracks would just be gone because of common word removal and a complex search algorithm. That for the most part has been taken care of now...

What we have now is a nice new check box option and a single new page in the wizard. This new option is labeled "Use the album selected below to update all tracks in wizard." It does exactly what it suggests. Click that one box then click on the correct album below and WMP/WMIS then presents a confirmation page with all the tracks listed, all you have to do is click Finish and it then updates all the tracks for the album with the correct metadata.

Awesome with a capital A.

UPDATE: Looks like there's a minor bug with international characters like the umlaut (ü) and others as well. I think it's in during the process of grabbing the information and pulling it into WMP that the characters aren't being encoded right in the HTTP or something along those lines. To work around the problem simply do Find Album Info once more on the track in trouble and it shoud be the only track listed and should have the correct characters in the right spot. When I get into work tomorrow I'll be checking to see if a bug on this issue exists yet, if not consider it filed.
