I too have lots of "these pesky classical music compilations" such as the Naxos Night Music series, Celestial Harmonies collections and ABC Classics, all either bought before my first Squeezebox or received as gifts. I just leave them as compilations, after all they are nothing more than pre-configured playlists and make ideal "seed" albums for SugarCube. p.s. The only addition to your tagging structure is to break from the constraints of what was on a CD - for example, Beethoven's five Piano Concertos performed by Rudolf Serkin and the Boston Symphony Orchestra cond. Seiji Ozawa comes on 3 CDs. If you break that into 5 CDs you can have each concerto as a CD - Artist : Beethoven Title : Piano Concerto No 3 - Rudolf Serkin, Boston Symphony Orchestra Seiji Ozawa Track : I Allegro con brio Track : II Largo Track : III Rondo: Allegro -- Wirrunna A camel is a racehorse designed by a committee. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Wirrunna's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3225 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=33600 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/ripping
