Music Meta by Mozbeats

Music Meta by Mozbeats is an advanced plugin for music websites built with WordPress. It analyzes the post title, identifies the main artist, featured artists, year, music genre, and release type, and automatically generates a professional Music Metadata Sheet. Version 1.5.1 adds Spotify and Deezer album imports, automatic generated track posts, refreshed Premium playlist controls, improved artist detection, and the latest Music Meta by Mozbeats dashboard refinements.

1.5.1

• Prevented Spotify track posts from being duplicated when the album/EP post is updated.
• Created Spotify track posts now store an internal Spotify track key and parent album ID for reliable future matching.
• Created Spotify track posts keep the default WordPress category and default post format.
• When post type source is configured as categories, Album/EP/Mixtape now replace the default category instead of being added beside it; Music keeps the default WordPress category.
• Spotify cover import now handles image URLs without file extensions and applies the cover to the album and generated track posts.
• Created Spotify track posts now fill the Yoast SEO focus keyphrase with the generated post title.
• Spotify playlist titles now keep all album artists as main artists and only move extra track artists into feat.
• Duplicate feat names are removed when Spotify repeats an artist in the title and in the artist list.
• Created Spotify track posts now use the album/EP post URL as the download link instead of copying the album download file URL.
• Created Spotify track posts inherit valid music genres from the album/EP post even when genres are mixed between tags and categories.
• Created Spotify track posts now use 320Kbps as the default quality.
• Spotify cover imports now run in the background to prevent album saves from timing out with server error 500.

• Added Premium admin toggles for Spotify cover import, applying album covers to generated tracks, inheriting album genres, and default 320Kbps quality.

• Spotify playlist and generated posts now preserve the main artist text exactly as written in the album/EP post title.
• Generated Spotify track posts now always use the parent album/EP post URL as the download link, including previously generated tracks.
• Generated Spotify track posts can now use individual download links when edited manually.

• Corrected Deezer participant detection using artists, contributors, and featured_artists.
• Refreshes old Deezer track caches so playlists created during testing can rebuild with featured artists.
• Applies the generated-track rules equally to Spotify and Deezer, including Music type, track playlist role, Yoast focus keyphrase, inherited genres, featured artists, and album artwork.
• Added a playlist source selector box so each album/EP uses only one automatic source: none, Spotify, or Deezer.
• Improved Artists tab pagination alignment and visual style.

1.5

• Separated the post type taxonomy from the music genre taxonomy.
