Flac comments can do all that the problem is getting it into the
database. Freedb has only minimal tags in the database.

Actually there are two parts to the problem:
1) getting the data
2) storing the data into the Mysql tables.

In addition to the command to tell the SlimServer scanner to never delete things it doesn't know about.

The existing obvious data sources, cddb and freedb are just not well populated with this level of detail, and they have little or nothing about Jazz and Classical styles. The obvious solution it to have folks who care develop it. Let me think about it, I could probably store the data in one of my servers -- I'll need to develop some web-friendly way to collect it.

Once it is in my database, it is not hard to setup something like an XML transfer to your database.

There have been a number of threads on this general topic in the ripping, audiophiles and even developer sections over the years. The things folks want for pop/rock/etc. just don't cut it for some "genres"
