i know what you're saying, but i don't agree... many major rippers, like WMP, winamp, EAC, etc... will tag without setting comp tags. this is a common scenario that is to be expected. the job isn't to expect perfection, the job is to expect highly likely scenarios.

Or did I miss something here? afaik, server only scans in the tags its been told to scan in. yes, u can drill down in the UI and see all tags in a file, but afaik thats just a tag dump done at the time u actually drill down to view the raw tags, and only the ones server has been told to recognize at scan time are actually in the DB. it would be good if we could list all known tags [field values] server already reads into the server, and make a list of all the ones we would want added, be it for classical, ratings, what have you. using: win7 64 + lms 7.9 & duet & ipads w/the logitech app, and ipeng on an ipod http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.php/various_artists_logic & http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.php/compilations ------------------------------------------------------------------------ BJW's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=58242 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=106970 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list ripping@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/ripping
