So... "ALBUMARTIST" is a tag? If both ALBUMARTIST and ARTIST tags, does SC use ALBUMARTIST or ARTIST or both? What about TRACKARTIST - is that a tag, too?
Seems like it's time for me to start experimenting. In answer to an earlier question, my collection is, sadly, a mix of FLAC and (done earlier) MP3, with a little OGG thrown in. I can tell when I ripped something by where it fits in the progression 192CBR, 192VBR, 256VBR, Ogg, Ape, FLAC. I've since converted all my Ape to FLAC (really easy with dBpowerAmp), because there's "native" support for it on the SqueexeBox. I'm in process of replacing the MP3s with FLAC, but it's going a bit slowly. The bright side of the whole process is that I find I'm re-discovering some music I really liked years ago, but had either gotten tired of or simply got more interested in something else. Early Herbie Hancock, for instance. I'd forgotten how good a jazz pianist he was. Anyway, I'm thinking if taking the ALBUMARTIST X and Y ARTIST X;Y approach - but only on albums that I consistently miss because the artist I think of the album as being "by" is actually listed second (or third), and so I miss it when browsing. Seems like the kind of thing that I could do with a Mp3Tag "action". I've already got compilations setup with a different ARTIST on each track - and SqueezeCenter seems to handle that just fine. I'm -assuming- that TRACKARTIST is for listing everyone on a particular track (so a way to find, for instance, all the Pat Metheny Group tracks that include, say, Nando Lauria or Danny Gottlieb. Sounds like music-nerd nirvana - and it also sounds like more work than I even want to think about, let alone actually do. Unless there's some kind of track-artists-database out there somewhere (like freedb only you feed it artist, album, track-num, track-title - and get back track artists as a list). I'm dreaming, right? -- bobkoure ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bobkoure's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=14646 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=42823 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/ripping
