After looking through the "Beginners Guide" wiki I have the following remark. It is my firm believe that the artist of a "Classical" track should be the interpreter not the composer. The composer's name can optionally prefix the album name.
The main reason is that for "Pop" music this is rather common. I have a whole (nice) album with Depeche Mode covers (yes, "For the Masses"). Now you would not tag as artist for the Smashing Pumkins cover of "Never Let Me Down Again" as "Depeche Mode", would you? The artist in this case is "Smashing Pumpkins" composer would be Depeche Mode (or perhaps Martin Gore). So one might tag the album as "Depeche Mode - For the Masses". For the same reason I tag Lynn Harrells interpretation of Johann Sebastion Bach's Suites for Violoncello with artist "Lynn Harrell", and composer "Johann Sebastian Bach". The Album gets the name "Bach - Cello Suites", which btw is the same album title "Steven Isserlis" interpretation gets so that they appear side to side when I browse by Album. ...Oh, it would be a perfect world when everyone agreed with me... -- th00ht SqueezeBox (f/w81), SlimServer (6.5.4) Quad 303 + Two Quad Electrostats ------------------------------------------------------------------------ th00ht's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=15656 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=43851 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/ripping
