What ever internet source I use to fill in metadata, dbPoweramp actually automatically fills my STYLE field with sub-genre type information. As I mentioned before, I doubt ITunes could use that. I'm not even sure how well you'd be able to take advantage of a comment field with ITunes. I don't use ITunes. However, in my own db, my STYLE field is multi-valued. Most of my music falls into multiple sub-genres, and the Custom Scan and Custom Browse plugins take advantage of the multiple values nicely. As for comment fields; I don't see why you can do the same. Comment fields are already scanned by default. You just need to use custom browse to give you the browsing capability. -- emalvick ------------------------------------------------------------------------ emalvick's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=35382 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=80908 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/ripping
