Gharris999, how do you do this embedding trick, again? (Sorry if I
missed the explanation first time). The light stuff has been
relatively easy, but dozens of my classical CD covers have failed to
come up (or, at least, come up accurately) on the iTunes (and CDPedia/
Amazon) searches, and the liner notes, of course, are altogether
absent. What's more, I have yet to find a single database for the
1000 or so classical LPs - titles and track names, even, let alone
cover art, sleeve notes and booklets - I'm in the process of
digitising. Embedding/attaching scans to the music files of all of
these would save a Herculean weight of work.
Pat, you fairly take my breath away, you do. If you already know by
heart the details of every early, Renaissance, Galante, Baroque,
Classical, Romantic and Modern composer in even a fairly limited
collection like mine; their antecedents, biographies and milieux;
the history of their musical style, their influential contemporaries
and known musical acquaintances; the history and working conditions
of the conductors/bands/consorts/ensembles that have played the music
from the first performance to the present, from troubadour via
Telemann to Dutoit; and the political and geographical conditions
that produced all of these; and then also have a good working
knowledge (at least) of English, Spanish, Portuguese, French,
Italian, German, Latin, Hungarian, Czech, Norman French, and Russian,
not to mention the odd bit of Urdu, Hindi, Swahili, KwaZulu,
Bulgarian, Japanese and Punjabi, then your musical and linguistic
erudition are indeed hugely impressive, and I gladly take off to you
every single hat in my possession and bow deeply and repeatedly in
your direction. I am speechless in admiration. Alas, I am nothing
like so omniscient, and must limp along on a daily supplement of
reminders from liner note and booklet, with an occasional booster
injection of Groves online.

Not cursed like I'm cursed, though. It's not enough that I've got to
flac all those CDs. Now that I've figured out how to embed the cover
art, I've got to scan all the jewel-cases too. Next, I'll start
feeling the need to OCR all the liner notes and embed those too. It's
sisyphusian, man.
