Hi Adam, It's fun to read your post as I'm spending all my free time since a month or more to achieve what you're describing.
By playing with flac tags, CustomScan and CustomBrowse, I manage to get the browsing system of your dreamss. It may not be as integrated and beautiful as the Fortuna system, but for sure it's as practical. Simply by using a complicated set of tags (MY-CONDUCTORS, MY-INSTRUMENTISTS, MY-COMPOSER, MY-ORCHESTRAS, MY-CATALOG-NUMBER, MY-CHOIRS, MY-SINGERS MY-WORK MY-COMPOSING-GENRE MY-GENRES) each with the corresponding "xxx-SORT" when needed, I can now browse freely with structures like this: composer -> opus -> conductor composer -> work -> conductor composer -> conductor conductor -> composer instrumentist -> genre -> composer composing-year -> genre -> genre -> composer etc. The hardest thing in this process isn't the setup of the software but the way to organize tags. After a lot of tries and errors, I arrive to a system with some similitudes with Fortuna. I told earlier that I would put an article on the wiki to summarize these thoughts and scripts as my process is nearly finalized... I'm only frightened to be the only crazy guy with the need, desire and will to do it this way. -- vrobin ------------------------------------------------------------------------ vrobin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=11705 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=37545 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
