IIRC, ALAC also uses ID3, though I'm not positive about that. In any case, all of my music is in ALAC format (ripped using iTunes), and while I did my best to tag the stuff properly, it was certainly not optimal due to iTunes' somewhat limited tagging.
One feature request that would be great for SS is to add "Browse by Composer" in addition to the other Browse options... I know there's an option to have SS include Composers in the "Browse by Artist" list, but that's not at all the same thing. Another idea which could be done separately or in conjunction with the above is to allow inclusion of only CLASSICAL composers in the artist list, i.e. only Composers for songs tagged as Classical would be added to the Artist list, while other composers would be ignored. The reason for this is that many of my rock/electronica tracks include composer information, namely the artist(s) who wrote the song. However, often these are personal names rather than band names, and I do **NOT** want them added to the Artist list. At the same time, the "artists" for classical pieces (i.e. the conductor, ensemble, soloists, etc.) are rarely relevant when I'm searching for music, i.e. I am much more likely to search for "Mozart" than I am to search for "Neville Marriner" or "Berlin Chamber Orchestra." Currently the only way to browse by composer is to add ALL composers, regardless of genre, to the Artist list (by enabling the appropriate feature in SS), but this causes the very problem I mention above (i.e. that I only want to see composers for classical music, not any other genres). It would really be great if SlimServer treated classical composers as the "artists" for purposes of searching - at the very least, to make it an option so those of you who DO want to search by conductor/ensemble/soloist still can. Adding a "Browse by Composer" is certainly the easiest workaround, so hopefully the developers can add that sometime soon. The other option (the first sentence of this paragraph) would probably take a bit of work to ensure that it was done in an intuitive fashion. -- cepheid ------------------------------------------------------------------------ cepheid's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3845 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=23839 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
