if true, that's good news. any idea on how the value is set?
(happy to move the thread if this gets annoying...)
a key based on uniqueness of Artist-Album concatenation might be good
enough once the V/A problem is addressed.
This is really a hard problem.
yeah, i understand just enough about this to see how it would be hard.
it helps that SS can probably just shoot for uniqueness _within the
music library_ and not in the world. also, i'm not sure uniqueness
would need to span refreshes of the database. for purposes of the SS
UI, it just needs to be a pointer to a group of track files.
the issue is how to define the boundaries of these file groups based
solely on information available in the tags (and perhaps pathname).
The "standard" way most software on the 'net identifies a CD is
using the CDDB hash, which is not unique, neither is any rational
combination of artist/album names.
this is just a hash of the CD title track data isn't it? it might not
do the trick all by itself, but if it exists it would be a very strong
hint. hash/ID collisions should be reasonably rare. but not everyone's
tracks will have this tag.
is this working any differently for those using iTunes integration?
