An example from yesterday. I ripped the "More Moondog" CD published by WEA France in 1991. I had one of the CD databases return 1991 as the release date. For me this is wrong. Release info is Prestige 1956, remastered 1991. Further, this CD is a (hidden) combo: LP "The Story of Moondog", Prestige 1957 has sneaked in as "bonus tracks" on this CD. So with the help of discogs I have split the CD in 2, set the appropriate dates, and grabbed the original LP artwork (google image helps here, too) My tags are not in a mess. The music industry was: CDs were expected to hold 60 minutes of music, so we end up with many nondescript compilations, combos, or CDs where there are more "bonus tracks" than there were tracks on the original recording. With the SB we are in the digital realm so I can fix this kind of situation, and finally understand what I am listening to. Another recent example. Miles Davis' soundtrack "Ascenseur pour l'échafaud" on CD includes a ton of studio alternate takes, following each master take. Listening to this CD was a bizarre experience Finally I compared the original LP tracklist and the CD reissue's, split the files in 2, as "original LP" + "bonus studio takes". And for the first time I could enjoy the LP thoroughly. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ epoch1970's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=16711 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=94987
