Show high scores BEFORE a track, so you know it's the right one
« on: February 16, 2008, 08:03:31 am »
There's nothing like getting a great score on a song, only to discover there was a typo in your ID3s and no-one's ever going to see it...

If MusicBrainz support is coming soon, then this could be moot (but maybe not, because even MusicBrainz isn't 100% perfect), so having AudioSurf look up exactly the high scores you'll be competing against (and not just telling you to look up what you THINK your song will be registered as) before you spend all that time getting the score, would be great... I understand it's some extra traffic to the server, but maybe even just returning the total number of previous plays by other users on that song would suffice.

Once you've picked a song and it has been analysed, you should be able to press the Popular Songs button at the top and it will show you the high scores for the song you have loaded.

At least, that is what happens for me when I do that.

Sounds great, I want this too, a simple button to start the query would be great...

Or you can use my little track checker...

Oh, awesome! :) Works like a charm even when the in-game one won't! Thanks :D

Haha, yeah, I made it so I can check that if it doesn't show in-game.

Needs some ironing though, but it's funny to see the variations of song names :D

However limited it may be, it's still quite useful! to me anyways haha
