Audio features stopped working

[LouWeed]

Audio features does not work at all since yesterday (Nov 27th).
Maybe has something to do with this:

I confirm that it doesn't work anymore.
@Marekkon5 Is One tagger still maintained or is it dead?

[Marekkon5]

1T is still working, partially maintained (due to lack of time), however audio features are pretty much dead since esentially it was a Spotify wrapper, and Spotify decided to stop providing this data.

This is a big disappointment, I really liked this feature as well as all your One tagger, it is a great application.
Do you think to make a new version of One tagger including the use of the new Spotify API?
There are websites (https://musicstax.com) that are working regularly even with the new API.
Thanks.

[Marekkon5]

The websites having that data are according to Spotify legacy apps, so they will continue to work. However they do not provide API, and I don't think they will like us scraping it. However feel free to link a website which provides such data as API and we can implement it.

Its sucks it doesn’t work anymore, that was the thing made the tagged to be so useful. Is there any way to fix it or use other api? Thanks!

Hello everyone!

Believe me, those values like 'energy,' 'danceability,' etc., are very, very subjective. I recently created a similar Python script to retrieve these three values, and trust me, they are quite relative. After all, they're determined by an algorithm, not a human, and so far, there are artistic and sensory interpretations that (luckily) only we possess.

That's why it might not be so necessary. We always feel inclined to gather more information about tracks, thinking it will make us more efficient in cataloging them, but at least these particular values are extremely subjective. So, cheer up! It's an excellent program. Perhaps it would be good to remove that function.
