Well, try out SS/Softsqueeze before you take the plunge. You might try the Custom Scan and Custom Browse plugins for SS as well. > not sure if that screws up the MC11 idea). Probably. The Quod Libet player for Linux appears to provide flexible support for more tags than just the standard ones. I think it includes a tag editor too. (http://www.sacredchao.net/quodlibet) > I went off on a tangent to look into Matroska > tagging/organization. Lots of good ideas there, The Flac tag format is very flexible too. Tag names are straightforward (Composer is Composer.) You can define your own tags too. I'm currently using Composer, Conductor, Work Name, Version, Sub Genre, Collection Name and some others in addition to Composer, Album and Artist. Here are some references for tag formats: (A definition of the Ogg Vorbis standard for tags. Flac uses this formats too.) http://xiph.org/vorbis/doc/v-comment.html (Recommended tags for Ogg Vorbis and Flac.) http://reactor-core.org/ogg-tagging.html (Comparison table for tag support in different file/tag formats.) http://age.hobba.nl/audio/tag_frame_reference.html You may already have seen these references but maybe not. > Lots of good ideas there, and would be nice if SS fully > supported it I think you described the problem with the whole ripping, tagging, organizing and playing music files. Most music ripper, tagger and player s/w is stuck on the lowest common denominator. Most developers are deciding that the needs of classical music listeners don't matter. Even MP3 with ID3v2 supports the Composer tag. We need a change of attitude by developers.
