Over in the developers forums, there is more on the words. They are not great. Structured Music lover is an attempt to talk about tag mavens. Or meta tag mavens. Folks who want to know the sidemen on the record, want biographys of the sidemen. Want photos of the mics used. If you ever listened to Jazz DJs of 30 years ago, you know the information that is of concern. Some good classicial stations DJs today still do some of it, trivia about the times or composer, period instruments, etc. It comes from many discussion in the Ripping forums about how to tag Jazz and "Classical" music, as the normal tag structure is just not rich enough. What we need to do it right is a relational database, so we can add metadata from other sources and be able to search and browse on it. The concept of ID3 tags works well for pop/rock, but really can't cut it for jazz, "classical" and some others. While I'm a geek, and an audiophile, I really want better tools to manage my jazz collection. Bias alert: I was the jazz DJ at my college radio station. -- Pat Farrell http://www.pfarrell.com/ _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
