Often we need a fuzzy search mode where the search engine finds inexact matches, by ignoring a difference of 1-3 letters.

This is extremely useful in handling filenames that originate in different parts of the world.

Let us see three specific examples:

Case-1: Spellings are different in USA and UK

When filenames are written in US English and British English, many words are spelled differently.

(color-colour, behavior-behaviour, defense-defence, atomize-atomise, etc)

Thus, if we have a mix of US and UK names, and if we search for "color", the app will never find "colour".
With a fuzzy search, this problem is eliminated.

Case-2: Searching for accented letters

In many non-English languages, some letters carry accents (diacritics).
When these names are written in English, the diacritic may be dropped, or spelled with different vowels.
For example, the word Müller is spelled in English as Mueller. or Muller (without the Umlaut).
Another example is the conversion of Eszett ß to ss: weiß -> weiss.
(In Switzerland German, ß is never used. In Germany and Austria, ß is in wide use.)

Again, a normal search cannot find the variations. Fuzzy search is needed here.

Case-3: When the name is transliterated from non-English language to English

In many non-English countries, the local name is transliterated to English (in other words, the local pronunciation is reproduced in the English alphabet).
This can never be consistent: The transliteration varies from person to person.

For example, in India, we save the filenames of all songs in English, although most of the songs are in regional (non-English) languages, such as Hindi, Gujarati, Marathi, Tamil, Telugu, etc..

The Hindi word जीवन (=life) can be spelled as "jeevan" or "jivan" or "jiivan".
The Marathi word तुझा (=your) can be spelled as "tujha", "tujhaa","tuza", or "tuzaa".
The Marathi/Hindi letter फ can be written in English as "F" or "Ph".
The Marathi/Hindi letter च्छ can be written in English as "chcha" or "ccha".
The Marathi/Hindi letter क्ष can be written in English as "x" or "ksh".
Again, fuzzy search can help us here.

The Shuttle music player (Open Source) already has fuzzy search feature for a long time.

Hi Developers at Krosbits,
Please can you add limiter for system and app equalizer and add audio outputs like - AAudio, OpenSl Es and Hi-Resoultion etc.Please.

Thanks

I love musicolet and want to get more of my pals off spotify and back to downloading flacs and mp3's, but unlike with winamp on desktop there is no musicolet plug-in to show what songs you are listening to as part of an integrated feature on your discord profile.

it would make the app a lot more popular as a form of social transmission

Musicolet allows us to search for an artist.

If the same artist has sung songs with other artists, Musicolet shows those combinations also. But after this, we have to select any one option: Either the artist alone, or in one of the combination.

For example, here is an imaginary scenario:
Suppose the user is looking for the artist "Hariharan".

In step-1, Musicolet shows four combinations:

1. Hariharan
2. Hariharan, Asha Bhosle
3. Hariharan, Lata Mangeshkar
4. Hariharan, Priti Uttam

In step-2, the user can select only one option out of these four. This is a huge limitation!

Desired:
Allow the user to select any/all of the four combinations.
Imagine there are checkboxes in front of all options, and the user is able to select any/all combinations.

The search results should highlight the matched pattern in color, in all search results (albums, artists, songs).

In addition, if the search is is in fuzzy mode (see Issue #3), please highlight the pattern that "fuzzy-matched" with the search string.

Please use different colors to highlight the "exact matches" and "fuzzy-matches".

Rather than editing the ID3 tag of each track separately, sometimes it is much more convenient to search and replace tags.

For example,

1. A few tracks may have some data in their tags such as "track number", "year", "DiscNumber", or "Comment". I want to delete such spurious data.
2. I want to change the name of a singer wherever it appears.
3. I want to change the name of the genre for selected files.

Please provide such bulk editing facility.

What functions are required:

1. Global search and replace a value.
2. Global search and delete a value
3. Search a particular tag for a value, and replace it with another value.
4. Search a particular tag for a value, and delete it.
5. Let the user select specific files from search results, and conduct "search-and-replace" in those selected files only.
6. Let the user select specific files from search results, and conduct "search-and-delete" in those selected files only.

Not sure how to populate .lrc file or whatever that Musicolet will recognize. Any suggestions?
