Summary0019368: Auto-Tag: can fail to find correct information if basic metadata is missing
DescriptionAuto-Tag can fail in case Title and Artist are missing, but album exists. Expected that Auto-tag from filename is firstly executed eg. the one that is executed during scan to guess missing tags which will result in most cases of correct auto Tag. NOTE: MM5 better detects missing Tags than older MM versions, but users migrating from older MM versions or have "infer properties" disabled.

This is very hard to replicate as for most of Albums it finds correct metadata information and it is hard to find Album where changing/filling single metadata changes the result where Fingerprinting should get the same result no matter of metadata missing.

I have tested on 40+ Albums with various metadata missing and in most cases repeating Auto-Tag (for those that initially you are not satisfied with results) end with correct metadata.

This Sample Album get same results each and every time and can be clearly used to test Auto-Tag accuracy, because correct Album is listed if you click on album name in Auto Tag dialog.
Steps To ReproduceSteps to reproduce:
1. Disable "Infer Properties" in Options -> Library
2. Using folders navigate to sample R.E.M. Album (Supplied on FTP)
3. Initiate Auto-Tag -> Track 5 will be detected incorrectly -> Cancel Auto-Tag
4. Execute Auto tag from Filename to populate Title
5. Initiate Auto-Tag -> all tracks are correctly detected and Auto-Tagged
NOTE: Sample Album is uploaded to FTP under "/Testing/MMTestData/TaggingTests/"
TagsNo tags attached.
Fixed in build

1) There's a progress bar already in the dialog. No need for a second one.
2) I disagree--as long as the status bar shows that lookup is incomplete, it's reasonable for the tag operation to no t be allowed.
3) The cancel button works for me.

 Reopen Clean install of 3010 observe same issue when "Infer Properties" are disabled.

NOTE: Point of disabling "Infer Properties" is to simulate empty fields and/or incorrect imported "Infer Properties" and rely on Fingerprinting and existing information.

5) Video file and full MM LOG is uploaded under /MM5/bugs/bug19368/ Sample Album is uploaded to FTP under "/Testing/MMTestData/TaggingTests/"
