I could not agree more with you. All your comments agree spot on with the problems I see with Musicbrainz and why the Musicbrainz data is not really usable for classical music. The problem is what can we do about it. It the developers at Musicbrainz are just not interested in supporting classical music then one option is to fork the software and the data. However, this would be a drastic option and would require a lot of work to keep the project going. The best thing may be if we could somehow work with Musicbrainz to put in support that allows us to plug-in our own tables (performers table, composition table, etc.) and our own bits of code. Perhaps I need to familiarize myself with Musicbrainz internals and come up with a proposal that allows support of a classical music database while only have minimal impact on the core of Musicbrainz. -- nwestbury ------------------------------------------------------------------------ nwestbury's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3284 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=19858 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/ripping
