Hi, I'd like to outline my plans before I start a tagging project, as somebody more experienced than me may be able to save me some time...
Background: I have a large library of flac and mp3 files. Tags have been carefully cleaned. Each track has a YEAR tag. SB currently sorts the albums within an artist by year, but that year is the first/last track scanned from the album, so compilations and albums with earlier/later bonus tracks aren't always sorted in the right order. Plan: Populate the ALBUMSORT tag with an album level year, to force SB to put the album where I want it. For many albums, picking the year from track 1 on the album is probably what I'll do. For various artist albums, I'll probably go for the highest year on the compilation. Outcome: For most artists, I'll get the albums in the order I want straight off the bat. For artists who don't realise that one album a year is enough (Costello, Fairport, Davis) I may have to change the album sort on three albums from 1969, 1969, 1969 to 1969a, 1969b, 1969c. Please shoot this plan down in flames in any way you'd like. The more comments the better before I start tryingit out. Thanks, M. -- InTheBath ------------------------------------------------------------------------ InTheBath's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=15679 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=87544 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/ripping
