These are not the only options. Here is another 3. Keep your music in a lossless format with full tagging (composer, performers, conductors, recording dates, release date, composition date etc etc) and then generate different versions of your music for use in different places. For use in your portable mp3 player, you transform the tags to something like the MusicBrainz tagging rules for Classical music (http://musicbrainz.org/doc/ClassicalStyleGuide). At the same time you perhaps transcode the music to mp3. For use by Slimserver you use another transfomration, etc. possibilities are endless. Obviously, you need some tool for doing this. I don't know that somehting like this exists, but is still a possibility. It is on my list of things I want to do, but progress is slow :-(. /Andreas -- andreas.kagedal ------------------------------------------------------------------------ andreas.kagedal's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=8741 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=43851 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/ripping
