Ceejay> (1) What tags do we want to search on (in addition to > Artist/Album/Track which are givens)?
I didn't answer this earlier. - I need a tag with just the name of the short Work name (For example, "Symphony 3"). - I need a tag that can describe the type of work (symphony, concerto, string quartet, chamber music) so that I can split of the works by one composer. Can I use Genre for this purpose? - I can mostly live using the Artist tag for a concatenation of soloist/conductor/orchestra. So I could live without conductor, soloist and band tags but I'd use them if they were present. In the long run, it would be quite useful to have those tags and perhaps Lyracist to document what's in the library. Once I put the CDs into storage, I'll be relying on the information in the database to tell me what's in the library. ---- I found an interesting table comparing tag use by different standards and formats at http://tinyurl.com/bkr5m I notice that iTunes supprts a tag they describe as Grouping. Would this be a useful tag for a short Work name (For example, "Symphony 3")? Pat> But setting up a proper library for non-pop is a Pat> non-trivial effort. I've been struggling to see how to make a usable solution given the current functionality of SlimServer/SB. How do you use tags? Do you use the SB display and the remote to select music or a PDA or a Laptop? Pat> It isn't going to be fixed with a new table and five Pat> new Sql statements. I think that getting beyond the limits of the current browse methods would help a lot. I'd be interested to hear your shopping list of things that need to be changed/added or just figured out to provide really good support for classical music. Pat> And there are philosophical questions to answer: Pat> what is a band? There may be more than one way to skin the cat. Does SS/SB require that files be tagged in a particular way or can it adapt and/or be configured to use a mixed library. Right now, I need to understand one way to skin the whole cat.
