Drag&Drop of track lists from web sites for CDPedia
Posted: Mon Jun 19, 2006 6:01 am
There are numberous CD's from niche labels that can not be found in large repositories (such as Amazon), but could be easily located on the publisher's site. Writing a plugin for each publisher could be hard.
Would be good if CDPedia would intelligently process the HTML drag&drop of the list from a web site. It is quite easy to downgrade any HTML back to a list of rows, sense if they all start with a number, and if so, then cut the number, and then fill in the tracks list with the resulting text. All of the minor glitches then could be fixed by hand, but that is a way much easier than keying in all the tracks manually, especially for the classical music, where names are long and are very frequently in languages you would dream to learn some day.
