It's easier to make it look the wrong way than the right way but with a bit of work it will do what you want it to do. I really don't think it's that bad to make it do what you want but yes it does take a bit of work the first time out. -- Nonreality -IF THE RULE YOU FOLLOWED BROUGHT YOU TO THIS, OF WHAT USE IS THE RULE.- HTTP://www.last.fm/user/nonreality Nonreality's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=15723 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=49514 ___ ripping mailing list ripping@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/ripping

Bingo - you'll need a spare hour or so to go through an 80-track boxed set spanning 3 or 4 decades and finding the release year for each song. The All-Music Guide is invaluable in these cases. You're also correct that being able to listen to stuff is more important than getting every tag perfect, but it's also cool that as you fix the tags your library becomes more valuable and usable. It's an ongoing process that yields greater rewards as you go. -- Pale Blue Ego Pale Blue Ego's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=110 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=49514 ___ ripping mailing list ripping@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/ripping

Re: [SlimDevices: Ripping] Setting 'Year' tag
Wow - lots of really good suggestions. It looks like I'll be going through my library with MP3Tag and a browser window open to both Wikipedia and Allmusic. I suppose if I paid for the Allmusic add-on with dbPoweramp, I'd have the date right in the first place, instead of using Amazon... Mostly though I've used EAC for ripping, and its getting its info from freedb. I guess I'm just not organized enough to validate the tags as I'm ripping, as I'm still trying to digitize my collection, and plowing ahead as quickly as possible. Better to have the music and fiddle with tags afterwards... At least that way I'll have something to do in my old age - 'cause it'll take that long to fix all the tags :-) I think for now I'll focus on all the new release stuff, and worry about Greatest Hits and compilation cds afterwards, as that would be a lot more time consuming since they vary by song... Thanks to all for the advice!

Re: [SlimDevices: Ripping] Setting 'Year' tag
I pull up the All-Music Guide page for each album as I rip it. They list the original release year. I also copy and paste the album review into the comments field. If it's a live album that got released years after it was recorded, I use the recording date. -- Pale Blue Ego Pale Blue Ego's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=110 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=49514 ___ ripping mailing list ripping@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/ripping
Re: [SlimDevices: Ripping] Setting 'Year' tag
I use "Artist - (year of first release) Title (thisreleaseyear re -master/issue)". IE I tag the rip with the year it was released and use (remaster) or (reissue) as an addition to the album name tag. -- Uluen 'FOYNLAND.ORG' (HTTP://FOYNLAND.ORG/) *'Discogs' (http://www.discogs.com/collection?user=Monkly&sort=artist&order=asc&page=1&folder_id=)* 'LAST.FM' (HTTP://WWW.LAST.FM/USER/ULUEN/) *'Flickr' (http://www.flickr.com/photos/knasclass/)* Uluen's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12166 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=49514 ___ ripping mailing list ripping@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/ripping
Re: [SlimDevices: Ripping] Setting 'Year' tag
I've set date fields for just about every track in my library (just can't find some release dates though...). They were autopopulated from allmusic when I ripped and I updated from various sources (mostly wikipedia and general google searches). When I'm searching by date, I normally want to play some tracks from 1988, say, rather than an album from that year so I think of this as a field attached to the songs rather than the album. Therefore best ofs and compilations have various dates, as do several CDs that have bonus tracks tacked on.

Re: [SlimDevices: Ripping] Setting 'Year' tag
Wikipedia seems really good for release dates. I'll have it and mp3tag loaded and just fix a bunch at once. Once you get caught up it's not too. I'm using a new addon for Firefox called Hyperwords that really makes finding stuff fast and easy. Really like it as much as any addon I've used. -- Nonreality -IF THE RULE YOU FOLLOWED BROUGHT YOU TO THIS, OF WHAT USE IS THE RULE.- HTTP://www.last.fm/user/nonreality Nonreality's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=15723 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=49514 ___ ripping mailing list ripping@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/ripping

It's fairly common for some live jazz albums to not be released until 10, 20 or more years after the recording date. For compilations I'll generally use the release date, but sometimes the recording date if all tracks are from about the same year. > 2.
