<p><b>New page</b></p><div><br />
The Amazon Matcher is a process that searches [[Amazon]]'s catalog for releases in the [[MusicBrainz]] database and records their URLs. This allows the website to display release cover art, and also provides the links that allow you to buy the release just by clicking on it. See also [[ASIN]]. <br />
<br />
[[Image:Alert.png]] '''Please note: The Amazon Matcher process is currently not running! To add cover art to a release / change incorrect cover art you can use the [[Amazon Relationship Type|AmazonRelationshipType]]. [[How To Change Cover Art|HowToChangeCoverArt]] will give you some hints.''' <br />
<br />
'''2004-06-01:''' Andy Grundman has submitted an update to the Amazon Matcher that should match a much higher percentage of releases. It contains track name matching as well as various artist support. This page will be updated to reflect the current state of the matcher after this new version goes live. For now, the Missed Matches section below has been updated to show which releases are now matched by the new script. <br />
<br />
The current algorithm for matching MB releases to Amazon releases is as follows: <br />
# Download all the releases for a given artist from amazon <br />
# Pass 1: <br />
# For each release in musicbrainz: <br />
## Tokenize both release names: convert to lowercase, remove accents, punctuation and whitespace <br />
## Compare the release names and store its similarity <br />
## Pick a release with the highest similarity rating, as long as it is above 80% <br />
<br />
# Pass 2: (Try chopping () and [] to get a better match) <br />
# For each release in musicbrainz <br />
## remove anything appended in () from the MB release names <br />
## remove anything appended in () or [] from the Amazon release names <br />
## Tokenize the chopped release names and store the similarity <br />
## Pick a release with the highest similarity rating, as long as it is above 80% <br />
<br />
Question: is pass #2 really done for each release in musicbrainz (as stated above), or is it only done for those left unmatched after the first pass? This could explain a couple of the mis-matches below. <br />
<br />
==Todo items==<br />
<br />
* Select the best image server based on which Amazon store a user has selected <br />
** NOTE: some release covers are not on all image servers -RJ (And in my experience 'imports' usually have lower quality scans than the same release in it's local amazon, though why this should be I have no idea - bawjaws) <br />
<br />
* Match various artist releases <br />
<br />
This is not perfect, but it does get a reasonable number of matches. If you have observed things that should've matched, but didn't, please add them to the Missed Matches list below. Also, if some intrepid perl hacker would like to try tuning the matching script, I would appreciate that! <br />
<ul><li style="list-style-type:none">This seems as good a place as any to note that the addition of [[Barcode|BarCode]]s to the database would make this kind of matching much easier, more efficient, and more reliable --[[User:MatthewExon|MatthewExon]] <br />
</ul><br />

Not matched because "Classics" should be an artist release under Aphex Twin and not a VA release. <pre>"The Perfect Drug Versions", a4db9744-347f-47f5-a4bd-394fde23831c, "Perfect Drug [CD-SINGLE]", B000001Y7W<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
Probably not matched because the track names differ too much. <pre>"Silent Hill 2", 72ea51fd-0d61-48fc-ba16-e1ae178b408d, "Silent Hill V.2["IMPORT"]", ["B00005NO3D"]<br />
</pre><br />
<ul><li style="list-style-type:none">Not matched because Amazon lists the artist as "Game Music". This is not a VA release though, so I am not sure how best to match this one. <br />

are showing the cover art for the Final Fantasy IX Original Soundtrack. The Final Fantasy VII soundtrack should have the cover art from ASIN B000038I2O and the Final Fantasy VIII one should have ASIN [[B00003 C K5 N|B00003CK5N]]. <br />
<br />
<pre>"Led Zeppelin IV" in MB is matched to "Led Zeppelin II" in Amazon. <br />
</pre><br />
<br />
Peter Gabriel (1978) - the "scratch" album (8e66ea2b-b57b-47d9-8df0-df4630aeb8e5) is pointing to Amazon's Peter Gabriel (1977) - the "car" album. <br />
<br />
"The Best of James" ([http://musicbrainz.org/album/5575f9cd-3a0d-4bf1-b4b3-ffce44ea1806.html http://musicbrainz.org/album/5575f9cd-3a0d-4bf1-b4b3-ffce44ea1806.html]) is pointing to Amazon's "The Best of James Taylor". <br />
<br />
==Other Matching Problems==<br />
<br />
'Guerrilla' by the Super Furry Animals ([http://www.musicbrainz.org/showalbum.html?albumid=94127 http://www.musicbrainz.org/showalbum.html?albumid=94127]) matches to an album in Amazon called 'Guerrilla[[import]]' that doesn't have an image. But there is an album called just 'Guerrilla' that does have an image. The only things that I can think of that would stop it matching according to the algorithm above is that A) you can't currently buy it from Amazon as they are out of stock and B) the import copy now has a higher 'popularity' rank than the non-import as it is still available for purchase. <br />
<br />
The album 'The Charlatans' ([http://www.musicbrainz.org/showalbum.html?albumid=42524 http://www.musicbrainz.org/showalbum.html?albumid=42524]) by the band also called 'The Charlatans' (who are also known in the states as 'The Charlatans UK') retrieves the image for the album 'The Charlatans' by the american group called 'The Charlatans' (listed in Amazon as 'The Charlatans (1960's)'. A bit of an odd corner case I know but I'm surprised that it can get the other albums by this artist correct and get this one wrong. The real album/image is listed as both 'Charlatans[[import]]' and 'The Charlatans[[UK]]' by the artist 'Charlatans UK'. <br />
<br />
Many of the albums by 'The Tragically Hip' have the cover art show up fine; however, if using a store like amazon.ca, following the buy link takes you to the[[IMPORT]] album (which is listed as unavailable) rather than the Canadian release (which are identical AFAIK). For example, the ASIN for "Fully Completely" is [[B000002 OMP|B000002OMP]] in Canada (this is invalid in the US), not [[B00000 IJRC|B00000IJRC]], which is fine with the US store, but the[[IMPORT]] version in Canada. I suspect this is a problem with other artists (but I haven't found any specific ones). <br />
<br />
"With The Beatles" (a91b9173-b958-401b-9551-b15db0e7bc5d/B000002UAC) retrieves the cover for "The Beatles (The White Album)" ASIN [[B000002 UAX|B000002UAX]]. <br />
<br />
The self-titled first album by "Creedence Clearwater Revival" (6da15b06-b848-487c-a74a-af8fe26f1069) retrieves the cover of a best of called "The Best of Creedence Clearwater Revival" (ASIN: [[B000006 X V2|B000006XV2]]). <br />
<br />
This: [http://musicbrainz.org/album/8dac0482-cc08-4a45-82be-899604becbcb.html http://musicbrainz.org/album/8dac0482-cc08-4a45-82be-899604becbcb.html] is mis-matched because of the decision we made not to include text like "Music From The Motion Picture" in soundtrack titles. <br />
<br />
It should be: [http://tinyurl.com/34lsq http://tinyurl.com/34lsq] <br />
<br />
Things may have changed since the previous comment but at the moment the album is mismatched because there are four different Bullitt albums in Amazon: "Bullitt (1968 Film)[[SOUNDTRACK]]", "Bullitt (1968 Film)[[SOUNDTRACK]][[IMPORT]]", "Bullitt (Music from the Motion Picture)[[SOUNDTRACK]][[IMPORT]][[ORIGINA L RECORDIN G REMASTERED|ORIGINAL RECORDING REMASTERED]]" and "Bullitt (Music Recreated from and Inspired by the Motion Picture)[[SOUNDTRACK]][[IMPORT]][[ORIGINA L RECORDIN G REMASTERED|ORIGINAL RECORDING REMASTERED]]". The second and third of which appear to match the tracklist of the album in musicbrainz linked to above. Since the algorithm outlined above discards everything in brackets for the second pass then all of these match equally and I assume one of the four contenders is then chosen at random. The absence/presence of "Music from the motion picture" etc. is therefore in this case a red herring, though it probably does apply in the "Conquest of Paradise" case listed above. <br />
<br />
Releases with the same name, but extra tracks don't match correctly. There are 3 different Weezer (Green) albums named the same and share the first 10 tracks, but the UK release has 11 tracks, and the Japanese release has 12 tracks [http://musicbrainz.org/showalbum.html?albumid=56450 http://musicbrainz.org/showalbum.html?albumid=56450] however they all match to ASIN [[B00005 ICAW|B00005ICAW]], but the 12 track release should be ASIN [[B00005 B7 U2|B00005B7U2]], and the 11 track release should be [[B00005 JHYM|B00005JHYM]] <br />
<br />
This is missing a match [http://www.musicbrainz.org/album/502cf184-caaa-4c77-ab81-87ff38c30c34.html http://www.musicbrainz.org/album/502cf184-caaa-4c77-ab81-87ff38c30c34.html] - as amazon has a 'dead page duplicate' for the album. it should point to: [http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00004XN08/ http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00004XN08/] <br />
