Is there some place I can find full documentation/explanation of how LMS interprets and indexes tags on various audio file formats, especially FLAC and MP3 ?
My library is ~15k songs of which 85-90% are Flacs I ripped myself from CDs. This was years ago she I ran Sonos gear house-wide, the early stuff both amp-less to DAC and hi-fi, or w/onboard amp to added own loudspeakers. First year or so of this era I spent countless evenings cleaning up tags so that everything was browseable the way I wanted through the Sonos controller. Gradually all this Sonos hardware broke down, and I am now attempting to run this same music collect on an LMS-piCorePlayer system, with some additional Airplay players. To manage media browsing and play I have been using SqueezePad and sometimes the LMS own web GUI. Problem is that the home tagging scheme I developed which worked so well on Sonos doesn't index and show up in the same way on the various LMS interfaces. My Sonos-targeted tagging hierarchy was Genre/AlbumArtist/Album/Title. I defined my own very short list of Genres, and got AlbumArtist name/spelling variants all pretty normalized. also, I embedded (track) Artist into the song title for compilation albums, and set Sonos to index on AlbumArtist (non-compilation albums I set AlbumArtist = Artist). On Classical, I did extensive customization, defining AlbumArtist variously as composer, conductor or performer and often redefining "album" to group things according to the way I wanted to peruse and listen. Anyway, much of this seems to not translate into LMS. Before I dig into the process of modifying the tags so they work under LMS more like how I want, I would love to have a much clearer picture of LMS's tagging and indexing rules, especially for FLAC. Grateful if someone could point me to a source for this. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ my1704's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=72526 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=116810 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list ripping@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/ripping
