Nearly. I think there is an unnecessary and undesirable extra layer of indirection in the scheme Ceejay suggests. If there is going to be an extra tag, it should just be WORK, rather than an indicator of whether WORK=ALBUM or WORK=SONG. (That requires you to respect the ALBUM=WORK convention. But if you are going to the trouble of adding an extra tag anyway, you don't need to.) For ordinary songs, either you could set WORK to the same value as TITLE in ripping; or it could just be a convention that if WORK is missing, it means the work is the song.
As I said, I don't think major surgery on SlimServer itself is needed. Really I'd just like a plug-in, or even a standalone program, that makes a random list of WORKs. But, no, probably not enough to write it, nor, therefore, enough to lobby hard for someone else to write it. The slight trouble with using GENRE=CLASSICAL as the indicator is that there are some discs that you would probably call CLASSICAL, tag as a single ALBUM, and yet _not_ want handled as single WORKs: e.g., 10 tenor arias in a row (by Gigli, of course). -- tom permutt ------------------------------------------------------------------------ tom permutt's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1893 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=18946 _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
