Son-of-a-Weizen Posted December 12, 2005 Report Share Posted December 12, 2005 A couple of minutes ago I finished burning the Neil Young 'Everybody Knows This is Nowhere' vinyl to CD-RW on my Philips component burner. When I took the finalized disc and went to transfer it to my Real Player library on the pc, the Real Player prompt that popped up recognized the LP and all the titles. I understand how this would happen with CDs and encoding.......but how does Real Player recognize the contents of a vinyl burn? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stefan Wood Posted December 12, 2005 Report Share Posted December 12, 2005 (edited) Similar times for the track listings. It matches the track timings (in the order and that particular combination of times) with existing info online.

Son-of-a-Weizen Posted December 12, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2005 Hmmm. I guess the thing that's impressive is that it still picks up on it even though the track times on your vinyl burn can be off by 2-5 seconds because you're manually inserting all the track numbers while recording. Still hard to believe that, with all the classical, rock, jazz LPs out there, there aren't a half dozen others that have similar track configurations/timing. Thanks.

medjuck Posted December 12, 2005 Report Share Posted December 12, 2005 I hears a piece on NPR about a sound recognition service that will identify records. (You play them over the phone!) I wonder if REal Audio is using something similar. I'm dubious about the using just the length of cuts too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
md655321 Posted December 12, 2005 Report Share Posted December 12, 2005 I think length of cuts is probably the first thing they look at. Occasionally they do get it wrong, or give multiple options. I know itunes thinks Coltrane live in japan disc 3 is some type of trance/techno cd. Some programs give you a list of options to choose from.

Well whatever they're using, I know how to bring them to their knees!!! I'll just feed 'em some Burl and listen to that sound recognition device sputter and drop dead. No way they have this in the data bank! ...and don't ask why I have it in the collection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was when a transferred Jimmy Heath - Picture of Heath, which is not available on cd, and the songs came up right away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andybleaden Posted December 13, 2005 Report Share Posted December 13, 2005 I know others who have ripped lps to cdr have added the track details back to the library, I certainly have after a little work and hope that someone somewhere will not have to input titles, details id3 tags etc for that rare little blue note that they have scooped Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claude Posted December 13, 2005 Report Share Posted December 13, 2005 Maybe the database service has become more intelligent, rounding off track times. What service is Realplayer using? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like something from the 'Harvest' LP w/the London Symphony Orch on a couple of tracks ('Man Needs a Maid"?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
