To me artist is an adequately clear concept; it is squeezecenter that mixes it up with composer, bands etc. - but then only if you tell it to, or leave the tag incorrectly populated. Squeezecenter is also poor in that it doesn't discriminate between Album Artist(s) and Track Artist(s). Composer, Band etc. are distinct tags with meanings that shouldn't tax anyone. Using the CustomBrowse plug-in gives the possibility of better results. No reason why I shouldn't want to find all tracks on which Dave Holland plays bass, or Willard White sings bass, if I wish. Many of the other problems you mention are due to poor query features in Squeezecenter, rather than inadequacies with tags. Using the ComposerSort tag for example would get round the problems you mention with different ways of specifying J.S.Bach. -- JezA ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JezA's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=21219 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=87332 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/ripping
