No, they don't. Non-jazz example: go to CDDB and search on
'Eveningland'. There's the CD, and the group name Hem -- no

Jeremy Steig. No result -- never transferred to CD. (Anybody got
it? I'd pay happily for a copy!)
Clearly the data I want isn't the data everybody wants. I don't
need to know the name of the third chair second violinist in the
Cleveland orchestra recording of Brahms symphonies under George
Szell; I do want to know the drummer who's driving a jazz quartet.
The popular databases are attuned, of course, almost entirely to
popular music. (They can't figure out, in classical music, how to
use the "Artist" and "Composer" fields that iTunes reports.) Sorry
-- end of rant.
Not a rant - appreciated. have the same problem here. There are
general metadata schemas for video - you can include Spotlight
metadata for QuickTime and iTunes in this bag (although there are
much more complicated and comprehensive ones) - and the question is
how to make this fit with the very specific needs of for instance the
fine art VJ scene here in Vienna.
Same issue. However the advantage of standards or more to the point
the ability to communicate in a standardised way (search exchange
etc) - means that the specialised information gets out to a wider
audience, and second that you can take advantage of tools that are
developed and maintained by a larger community.
Here the question I am restling with is can I hack Spotlight metadata
schemas - to satisfy the main needs of the video, art and TV scene
here + how to build the specialist stuff on top of - or to the side
of this more general infrastructure.
