Thought: a nice idea for bliss would be date format control for the year tag.

While such precision may be welcomed, depending on your software this may be interpreted in different ways.

Colour It In contains the full date including the month and day-of-the-month. There's inconsistency in the use of the YEAR tag. Similarly I find disc numbers on single disc releases a pain. It does make sense why you'd want this, but especially when the other albums do not have this metadata the inconsistency is quite annoying. Operating a multi genre library including both classical and popular releases, I tend to find use of COMPOSER in popular releases annoying. Slightly odd is the use of the COMPOSER tag in Dummy. Genres are broad, which I tend to prefer. On a per album basis the tags are consistent. I pointed bliss at the albums, then opened the Tags page to, first of all, view the basic tags:Īgain, a good start. More important is the metadata contained within the files. If I were being picky, I'd say the artist name in the file name is unnecessary, and the whitespace should be changed to underscores, but the latter in particular is subjective. The file and folder structure is generally minimal, clean and follows my own minimalist doctrine when it comes to file and folder names.

Having unzipped the archive into my music folder, here's the file and folder structure that greeted me: I unzipped them, copied them to my music folder, and began assessing that metadata! Files and folders That might be quite useful if you are in the habit of storing those archives.įor me though, the archives are just a temporary location.

The ZIP file contains the album name and the file format: dummy-6391-21949-flac.zip. The downloaded files are ZIP archives with the music files and folders within. So I visited the link to begin my download: Sure enough, just five minutes later I received this email: You receive a message saying that the download is being prepared and you will be emailed when the downloads are ready. I am only interested in FLAC downloads, so that's what I picked. Once you have purchased your music you can request downloads. The albums I purchased were Portishead's Dummy (I know, that's always been a hole in my collection), The Maccabees Colour It In (I enjoyed Given to the Wild so I wanted to check some of the back catalogue) and the recent release was LP1 by FKA Twigs. I picked a new release and two old ones (unfortunately being a US site many of the new UK releases I wanted weren't there. In this test, I purchased three albums to make sure I picked up any inconsistencies between albums. They have a neat integration with Paypal which means you just provide your Paypal details in their website - no leaving the website. You can purchase with your credit card or your Paypal account. The purchase and download process is straightforward and broadly as you would expect. Is their metadata complete and consistent? Is the cover art as high quality as the lossless audio? What about the file and folder paths? The download process Just like my post about Bleep downloads a few months ago, I figured it was time to give Murfie a try and give their metadata the once-over. As a result it is a hybrid streaming service - you still get curation and ownership, only the CDs are stored by Murfie (by default - you can also have them delivered) and the music is available in multiple lossless forms.
Basically, Murfie is a CD marketplace on which you can buy and sell CDs, but pertinently you can also stream and download those purchased CDs. So I became interested when I began reading a lot about Murfie a year or two ago.
However, I do recognise the convenience benefits of purchasing online, and not having to find storage space for my many CDs. It seems Murfie are serious about improving the metadata provided in their downloaded files, even beyond the current high standard! We received an excellent reply from Murfie.
