De Wolfe Music Publishers have the longest running, and most important independent film and television music library resource in the world. Its catalogue is a thing of legend, a vast collection of instantly recognisable and iconic tracks that have helped shape popular culture. If you’ve ever seen The Simpson’s Movie, Mandela - Long Walk To Freedom, American Gangster, Brokeback Mountain, Dawn Of The Dead, American Horror Stories, Top Gear, Boardwalk Empire, Breaking Bad, Monty Python’s Flying Circus, The Apprentice or The Walking Dead, then you’ve heard some of de Wolfe’s music.
It has provided the hook for some of the most memorable advertising campaigns in history and in recent years has been sampled by the likes of Drake and Beyonce, Mark Ronson, Gorillaz, Lily Allen, Madlib, DJ Premier and Ghostface Killah. Countless radio programmes have used de Wolfe for signature tunes, background music, talk show themes, dramatic moments, chart show countdowns and commercials. From the BBC to Jay Z, de Wolfe Music is an integral part of everyday listening. With a vast catalogue of over 80,000 tracks, including a million selling number one record, an Ivor Novello Award-winner and countless television theme tunes and movie soundtracks, de Wolfe Music continues to produce some of the finest music on offer today with many of the best composers and musicians in the world, one hundred years on from its humble beginnings in Edwardian England.
All albums are 16bit/48kHz FLAC.

Hi
This last post should go in “Track ID”. This is where people post links to tracks they like identifying.
-
DWCD001-DWCD160 are back online. Will be periodically updating this thread.

Thanks BWP. Gradually going through your DWCD share. At this rate I'm going to need a bigger hard drive!
-
Thank you so much BWP! Truly incredible.
-
Fantastic! :D
I'm going to have to wait to download, as Pixeldrain seems to be up to its old tricks... downloading about a quarter of a file then coming to a dead stop. Maybe earlier in the morning is better.
Also, here is something useful for anyone interested in this thread, a definitive list of de Wolfe CDs.

Well, de Wolfe have f***ed up spectacularly with DWCD0086, The User's Guide To The Classics Vol.2, with numerous rather famous classical pieces misnamed! For example, Overture Light Cavalry is actually Mozart's Horn Concerto! ::)

I wouldn't be so quick to point the finger Swingalong. The audition tracks on De Wolfe's website for DWCD 086 are correctly labelled. It's just as possible that the errors crept in when the FLAC tracks were tagged. If you notice the album is also missing a number of tracks when compared to the De Wolfe website so clearly something has gone wrong.

According to the track listing on productionmusic.fandom.com/wiki/List_of_De_Wolfe_Music_CD/digital_albums, a couple of tracks have been delisted, probably as they have been licenced to a particular user. This is a hazard of library music albums being reissued as CDs or digital downloads... because some tracks inevitably end up on adverts, TV programmes, or films, they can no longer be offered on subsequent rereleases... the exception being when a library album becomes so iconic that it gets released commercially.

All files are as I received them from De Wolfe Music. They were completely untagged with titles in ALL CAPS with underscores and composers in the filename. I added tags but tried to be pretty careful to not mix up any titles.

You can tell by the /34 in the tracklisting that I tagged the album using the Discogs function in Tag & Rename (https://www.softpointer.com/tr.htm). You can also tell by the total track tally (34 songs) that the number of files is far less (21 files). De Wolfe Music has a rather large number of incomplete albums, due to licensing I'm sure. I can only upload what De Wolfe Music gives me when I click Download. It's possible their licenses are different today, as I downloaded these files in April of 2020. I don't have a working login for De Wolfe Music anymore and haven't for a number of years else I'd attempt to update these incomplete albums. Not sure if anyone noticed, but 086 does have {Incomplete} appended to the folder name, so that should have been your first clue, and I do see at least 8 other incomplete albums and I'm only up to 190.
Up to DWCD 0188 are now online in the Pixeldrain folder

I get it already, but Pixeldrain is easy for uploaders so that's what I'm gonna keep using.

As I mentioned before I'm gradually going through your generous share and picking out those albums which are of interest to me. I've just come across DWCD 028 Just Whimsical and found the tags for tracks 2-23 aren't quite right. This isn't criticism I'm just alerting people to the fact. The correct tagging should be:
2 Anthony Hobson - Just Whimsical
3 Anthony Hobson - Day Trip
4 Anthony Hobson - Day Trip
5 Anthony Hobson - Tales Of Toytown
6 Anthony Hobson - Tales Of Toytown
7 Anthony Hobson - Pink Pumpkins
8 Anthony Hobson - Pink Pumpkins
9 Anthony Hobson - Ready, Steady, Stop
10 Anthony Hobson - Ready, Steady, Stop
11 Anthony Hobson - Toyshop
12 Anthony Hobson - Toyshop
13 Anthony Hobson - Basooning
14 Anthony Hobson - Little Red Car
15 Anthony Hobson - Little Red Car
16 Anthony Hobson - Furry Friends
17 Anthony Hobson - Furry Friends
18 Anthony Hobson - Paint Pots
19 Anthony Hobson - Bouncing Bill
20 Anthony Hobson - Pushbikes
21 Anthony Hobson - Bunter And Friends
22 Anthony Hobson - Fatso
23 Anthony Hobson - Whistling Kettle

I think you are doing a marvellous job Blackwatchplaid... I assumed the tags were de Wolfe's errors! Sorry if you felt I was criticising.
I didn't notice the word "incomplete" until I was extracting the folder from the rar archive, as long folder names don't always show in full.
Honestly, none of this is a problem, I was just surprised at what I thought was de Wolfe making an error. Some libraries do f*** up from time to time.
Keep up the good work! :)

I don't know why libraries do that with their titles! Why the underscores? :o
-
I'm afraid I've spotted another. The tagging of DWCD 170 This England is slightly out of sync. The track numbers are correct but the track titles/composers follow those given in the Production Music Wiki.

I'd say the problem is with discogs. The order and tags match up with their listing

Quite probably. We know the album is incomplete as you've noted because tracks 1, 4 and 5, all composed by Elgar, have been removed. But that has not been properly reflected in the listing you attached which I presume is a screen grab from Discogs Tagger? Curiously that listing doesn't correspond to the on-line listing on Discogs either (h***s://www.discogs.com/release/22159987-Various-This-England-A-Musical-Journey-Through-Englands-Noble-Heritage) which corresponds to that on the Production Music Wiki. So in this instance and perhaps DWCD 028 which I highlighted above the Discogs Tagger has proven to be inaccurate. Maybe best avoided then?
-
It's the Discogs lookup function in Tag&Rename. Tag&Rename is what I use and have for nearly 20 years. I don't normally use the discogs tagger with studio downloads, but these files had 0 tags to begin with and I don't have much else to go on besides the underscores and gobbledegook the filenames come as.
-
Yes it’s always a pain when files come untagged as well as having complex file names that make it well nye impossible to create a tag from them. I’ll keep my eyes out for any other hiccups.
