. I have all the Beatles Albums on CD and ripped them to my server, then years later I purchased the 24/96 remasters. So before loading the 24/96 albums to the server, I deleted the ripped Red Book CDs (why do I need them now that I have remasters in hires format?). This immediately prevents any search or tagging issues. I also bought the original Police Every Breath You Take hits CD, then they rereleased it remastered with additional material so again I deleted the original rip because it is a useless lesser copy.
Now for the ones that have the same name but are actually different, I use Album Title to stop any confusion. I rip with dBpowerAmp so when the display comes up before the actual rip, I edit the Album Name at that time so I don't have to go back in using a tag editor later. One example is the Guess Who that has two greatest hits albums with the same name but have different songs. So I added the Record Company to both Album Titles since they were different IE "Greatest Hits Buddah" and "Greatest Hits RCA". On same titled Albums from the same Record Label but have different songs (not a remaster with some bonus tracks added as that would just replace the original by deleting the original) but actual different songs, I put the release date in the Album Title as I have yet to ever find this situation where the Record Label released two identical titled albums from the same artist in the same year. Just some thoughts on how I handle these issues. *iPhone* Media Room: ModWright Platinum Signature Transporter, VTL TL-6.5 Signature Pre-Amp, Ayre MX-R Mono's, VeraStarr 6.4SE 6-channel Amp, Vandersteen Speakers: Quatro Wood Mains, VCC-5 Reference Center, four VSM-1 Signatures, Video: Runco RS 900 CineWide AutoScope 2.35:1, Vandersteen V2W Subwoofer Living Room: Transporter, ADCOM GTP-870HD, Cinepro 3K6SE III Gold, Vandersteen Model 3A Signature, Two 2Wq subs, VCC-2, Two VSM-1 Office: Touch with Vandersteen VSM-1s Kitchen: Touch in-wall mount w/ Thiel Powerpoint 1.2s Bedroom: Squeezebox BOOM Bathroom: Squeezebox Radio Around the House: SliMP3, SB1, SB2, SB3 Ford Thunderbird: SB Touch, USB drive Ford Expedition: SB Touch, USB drive ------------------------------------------------------------------------ iPhone's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13622 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=108121 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/ripping
