Hi- Don't want to get into the nasty argument and details here, but...
I'm in camp 2: I have a certain way I want my catalog presented, I'm not really interested in what certain corporations or other users think. I want what what works for me. I like my Duet overall, but when I switched over to it I had to retag my entire collection and subsequently retag specific albums to get SC to present it (more or less) in the way I wanted. I find this strange, as the tagging I started with worked fine in several other programs and devices. My conclusion from this is that SC isn't working according to "market" standards, or that the cataloging has some bugs. The present method in SC, which asks a only a few predetermined questions with a few explanations isn't clear, and it isn't clear when you pick one of the options how the program is actually going to behave afterwords. I can't think of any reason not to let individual users who are interested determine how their music collection is displayed to them. The whole "problem" seems to me fairly simple. Give users an option where they can set up their own cataloging hierarchy (tree) if they want to, instead of the default setup. The user should also be able to tell the program to ignore certain tags. This solution should be an elementary programming problem in software like SC. It also shouldn't be hard in such a setup for SC to display a preview/or example of the results of the user choices, so the user sees what the result of his choices will be. The present tagging and cataloging - not the way "user friendly" software should work in 2009, IMHO. -- firedog ------------------------------------------------------------------------ firedog's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=11550 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=57922 _______________________________________________ beta mailing list beta@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/beta
