I've seen the case of multiple albums tagged discussed elsewhere (other software), and I think it is something that just isn't handled well by software because it is a bit abstract. In theory it is possible, but I think that a lot of software just doesn't support it. I think the expectation is that one track will go with one album.
Other things that would complicate this (from a complete point of view): track numbers (what do you use?) album artists (how do you deal with it if they are different?) Other tags that might vary for each album a track is on: genre, album cover, year, etc. On a side note, I looked into this in detail about 15 years ago (maybe more as I am getting older). My purpose was to save disk space as a poor grad student in an era when hard-drives were much smaller and the idea of Terabytes of storage wasn't really a thing. I thought why not consolidate when compilations often have tracks that can be found elsewhere. My end verdict was that it wasn't worth it. I am a bit OCD on tagging, and the complications of one file belonging to multiple albums, was just a mess. I think I just ended up getting new hard-drives and then of course getting a real job and not having to worry about finances much. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ emalvick's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=35382 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=108121 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list ripping@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/ripping
