Hello, I love your software - it's been really helpful! I sorted and tagged thousands of songs.
But now I'm looking for a way to automatically tag my new downloaded and/or purchased tracks from beatport.
Basically, all I need is:

RELEASE DATE to be moved into Composer leaving only 5 first characters;
LABELS - to Grouping;
CATALOG # - to Grouping ater the LABELS value (splitted by "/" or "|" character, so it will look like this:

and maybe

BPM - to bpm
with Artwork

Is it possible to achieve it by using YATE? If not, will you try to add this feature in future or what alternative can I use?

Thanks!

Hi,

The setting of the Composer and Groupings fields can be done with a two line action as follows:

Copy the Release Time field to the Composer field
Set the Grouping field to "\[Label] | \[Catalog Number]"

This will not clear the Release Time, Label or Catalog Number fields. If you want that done, you can add a single Clear statement to clear all three.

I'm not sure what you want with the BPM field. Do you want to move it to the description field associated with an artwork item? If so, the ability to set the description field programmatically will only be available in the next release of Yate. It's already implemented 🙂

The importing of metadata from Discogs and MusicBrainz is done via their APIs. Importing metadata from beatport or any other store would involve screen scraping which constantly breaks. Also we would be deluded with implementing the ability from dozens of different music sites. So....there is nothing on the horizon to do s. 🙁

Hi, just a quick note regarding Beatport. They do have an api (https://oauth-api.beatport.com/#) so it is possible to access Beatports database and use it for tagging your own collection. But they only allow it for non-commercial use.
Anyway, perhaps it's possible...i would sure like to see metadata from Beatport as an option (if possible).

My Yate's trial period has ended today, so I purchased the full version of it, because it's truly the best software for tagging and sorting music. Well... at least for me 🙂
The only thing that's missing is beatport support, so the opportunity of having it included in future sounds like an amazing news. Please, keep us updated on the matter and keep up the great work. Thanks!

Any news from Beatport?
