Artificial intelligence-driven/automated tagging

[lotusaurus]

In my ongoing efforts to find some tool to help me tag my music properly (by which I mean at least consistently), I came across MusiCHI, which seems orientated towards classical music and uses its own reference database for tagging.

And there's a review here:

Unfortunately it seems to be dead - well, zombie-like. The developer has moved onto hardware, but in theory the software is still available. In the comments the developer says the software is still maintained and there is a demo version listed in the comments, but it doesn't work. I've been trying to get a demo by contacting the developer directly, who kindly provided a download link and customised login credentials, but the demo still won't run. I think the software can still be purchased. If anyone has had any recent experience with MusiCHI, would love to hear about it.

 

(Even though I couldn't get the software going, the developer's thoughts on the Zen of classical music tagging are very interesting - and amusing: https://musichieu.wordpress.com/tagging-audio-topics/)

 

But right now, bliss does look like a good option. For some reason I thought it wasn't a good fit when I first looked at it. Must take another look.

SO - Is there any way to 'transfer' the metadata from an MP3 file to, say, the FLAC file from which the MP3 was generated?  I'm thinking:  Convert my FLAC files to MP3 (I use dbpoweramp), have BLISS tag the MP3's, then move all those tags back to the original FLAC files.  Conceptionally, this seems feasible.  Is this possible? 

 

If you just want to tag your FLAC files, I believe Bliss handles FLAC files natively.
