This code does not belong in Slimserver, for the simple reason that it should not run over and over again.
However, it does need to be done as part of a complete music solution. Which is why, from time to time, I say that Slim should come up with a smart tagger. The tagger should be user friendly, should contain certain "rules" like whether case matters to you or not, should say that KDLang and K.D.Lang and K. D. Lang map to the same thing (or not if you don't care), likewise "Clash" and "The Clash" and whether you prefer Springsteen, Bruce or Bruce Springsteen and should rewrite the tags as appropriate. However much people didn't like the Audiotron, it came with a piece of software called Audiostation. Now Audiostation had a lot of problems, but one cool feature was that you could group your library by artist tags or by genre tags and notice that you had both Beatles and Baetles in your collection. By dragging the ones that were wrong into the folder of the correct one, you repaired all the bad tags, in one drag. It was cool. Similarly, Disco and Dsico, etc. It also contained some neat logic for speeding up entry if you were tagging yourself - it let you select an existing artist or type your own in, also genre. So after a while, if you already had some Beatles, you didn't have to retype them. -- Michaelwagner ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Michaelwagner's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=428 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=24093 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
