The simplest thing to do is use the COMPOSER tag and the built-in Composer menu. In iPeng I would select the composer, then click on the cover art, then the track you want to start playback with, then edit the playlist. This has one advantage over an organized CD collection: for example, if you have that one Brahms recording on a mostly Schumann disc shelved under Schumann, it will show up in the composer submenu for Brahms if you tagged it properly.
I use some custom tags, Custom Scan, and a Custom Browse menu so I can select by composer, then work, then a brief description of the recording. I can then select from all the recordings of a work that I have (again, like the example above, they might otherwise be on various discs shelved in various places). I wrote my own tagger that populates dropdown menus with all the composers, works, and artists entered so far. Yes, it's a lot of work. I'd stick with just the composer menu if you want to keep it simple. I keep the composer tag as simple as possible: usually just the last name of the composer unless disambiguation is needed. So I have "Bach", "Bach, CPE", "Bach, WF", "Mozart", "Mozart, Leopold", etc. No dates or any other info; that's what google is for. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Daverz's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=32335 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=110708 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
