Add a weight to find song in library

[king8084]

So currently it seems if a track dont match a certain threshold it gets redownloaded as duplicate. I wonder if we can add a weight as a toggle

This has several factors, Explo relies on searching (and matching) with MusicBrainz metadata, each music system has an different search system by itself, i.e if an track/artist(album is missing an "-" or any other character that MusicBrainz has (or vise versa), the track won't get returned. I think a good solution for this is to use Picard for tagging.

If it does get returned but the metadata still has a slight mismatch, then Explo can still recognize the track sometimes. For this I can play around with fuzzy search.

I don't use Picard myself, maybe someone who's running it alongside Explo can chime in and comment if it helps.

yea this is insane, i literally have 7 versions of believer now lol, i am using custom script for now to find duplicates with at least 80% similarity to delete it on a cron

seems i need to stop downloading jams unfortunatly due to this and just keep it for explo

You can use --download-mode=skip flag, then Explo only adds songs found locally to the playlist.
I don't really recommend downloading daily jams and weekly jams, cause the songs there should be the ones you have already listened to.

I don't know about Explo's match-rate but I believe that it can still find some songs from that those playlists.

I don't use Picard, but I do use beets to tag the rest of my music. Does explo handle the tagging of downloaded files? I definitely haven't found double-ups in the weekly explore which is great and as expected!

Does explo handle the tagging of downloaded files

It adds basic metadata for youtube downloads
