DOWNLOAD

This app requires the Full or Music Radeon Licence

See here for full details.

This app will download all missing artist Bio’s within your Music collections.

Just simply place it in the route of your Music and double click the EXE. It relies on the folder name being the artist name at the top level and does a look up based on that name to get the relevant bios/descriptions, then uses that info to populate a folder.xml.

This app only goes down to the artist level to provide a generic artist image and will not effect the album folder.jpg’s if they exist.

Folder Structure required:
{Artist Name}\

so were is the bio shown once done and lirary built…. cant see it anywere. were does the info come from?

 
  • I’m using the Pearl theme, and the bio only shows when I’m in poster, detail, or thumb strip view. My preferred view is cover flow, but bios won’t show up in that view, unfortunately. – chartsandgrafs 9 months ago
  • im in poster view and detail and only shows tracks..? – crossleymarko 9 months ago
  • Did you do a full refresh of the folder? Highlight the specific library you wish to refresh in the main menu/EHS (i.e., movies, music, television, music videos, etc…) and then hit ‘Ctrl’ + ‘R’. – chartsandgrafs 9 months ago
  • yes several times… getting album artist images so spelling is ok….. it took some time for the artists to show so i suppose itll reveal its self – crossleymarko 9 months ago
  • What theme are you using? – chartsandgrafs 9 months ago

In case anyone is interested, I just used this software to find bios for the artists in my ‘music videos’ folder. I have 390 total artist folders under ‘music videos’, and the bio download program had a success rate of about 90-95%. For instance, of the first 25 artists folders in my collection, the only two artists it couldn’t bios for were A-Ha and Baltimora. The next artist in alphabetical order that it couldn’t find a bio for was Better Than Ezra, which is the 33rd folder in the collection. That’s 3 out of 33.

Not too shabby.

Here we go again my codes didn’t work anymore :( please provide me new codes, this time I don’t know why they don’t work anymore. I sent you a PM with my codes :)

 
  • Hi Alwin, I havent had any PM’s pop up and I’ve been on here a lot of recent. Can you drop me an email with the relavant codes pls? Also, when you say the codes dont work any more? how do you mean? you should only ever have to enter them once then they work from then on. I have had a few people with problems after using disc cleanup utilities like ccleaner which remove the licence files. Once i have an email from you, ill get the new keys sent. :–) Cheers, – radeon about 1 month ago
