FAQ

After the download, you have to make one include require_once('vendor/autoload.php');. After that you have to import the classes with use statements.

Example:
If you use only one package a project is not needed. But if you use more then one package, without a project it is not possible to import the classes with use statements.

In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
Some PHP packages are not free to download and because of that hosted in private repositories. In this case some credentials are needed to access such packages. Please use the auth.json textarea to insert credentials, if a package is coming from a private repository. You can look here for more information.

  • Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
  • To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
  • Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
  • If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
  • Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.
Please rate this library. Is it a good library?

Informations about the package normcore

Normcore

Normcore is a PHP library for wrangling consistent representations of music metadata fields: artist names, track titles, album names and record labels cleaned and condense into identifiers.

Created by BFF.fm — community radio from the heart of San Francisco. If you find this useful, please consider a donation to help keep our station on air: https://bff.fm.

Usage

Philosophy

BFF.fm shows track metadata from DJs while songs are played: This data is generally crowdsourced from humans (although some DJs may use automated integrations from their playback software), ergo we see variations and errors. The purpose of Normcore is try and collapse a reasonable % of those variants into reliable tags, such that tracking data can be effectively aggregated.

It does not aim to magically fix every bad tag (Four Tet has a side project where track titles are elaborately decorative Unicode… it's OK if that slips through this particular net.)

Two functions are provided for each metadata type: clean and key. Clean makes a reasonable effort to tidy names for display, while Key collapses down to a lowercase identifier that can be used in URL slugs and elsewhere. Clean functions are intended to work reliably in most cases, but then used in systems where manual override and editing is possible (e.g. the punctuation in “...and you will know us by the trail of dead” and “Godspeed You! Black Emperor” may be lost in the interests of cleaning more common irregularities in how that punctuation may have been entered for other bands.)

Normcore reduces metadata down to identifiers — therefore, “featured” artists in track metadata will be discard. This is meant as no disrespect toward collaborative artists, but because there is inconsistency when crediting contributors in the artist, album, or title field. Long ago, Last.FM and Musicbrainz tried pretty hard to encourage people to use “(feat. Artist, Artist)” form in track titles specifically, rather than other tags, but the struggle continues. A future extension of this project may include an “extract contributors” function so that the data can be indexed.
