I wish a separate fork of LMS would be made to address the myriad of concerns like this, that are also noted in my sig links.
Personally, I assign AA tags to everything. Generally speaking they often equal the artist frame, but when they don't I use them to keep tracks from a Single CD together, and also to sort the CD where I want to find it. This method works in ALL software, (that matters). There is no actual need then to ever assign comp=1 tags, except and unless you want LMS (or other stuff, like Apple, etc) to know something is a comp, (however u might define that). I also rip one CD per folder. To me, LMS made basic logic flow chart errors in design in the early days and never rectified them. In the db for instance, there should be AA and A fields, but not a third track artist field which does not exist in tags. Automatic comp detection should be optional. Using file names or folders to fill in missing info should be optional. LMS should have 3 lists by default: A, AA, and All Artists, which would merge the first two lists together into a single master list. Users could decide if they also wanted composers, conductors, etc in the master list. There should also be a compilations list. I know work has been done to kinda get it all there, but it is frequently buggy and complex on queries, as the bugs in my links note. I have posted about this before, but the problem of design extends into the whole home > whatever scheme, which is just weird and not really seen in any other software. It's a bizarre unique system unto LMS. using: win10 64 + lms 8 & 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=113834 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list ripping@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/ripping
