Yes the way classic music evolved ( before the recording industry ) it is not only ill fitted to to the media (to dynamic and complete random collections to fill a disc and playing time does not fit anything ) no tagging schema have evolved with influence from classical music. Thus it does not sit well with any media player . Myself I do not listen much to classical ( I do sometimes ) but i do understand the problem , similar issue could be recognized in jazz or hip-hop/rap or folk where composers ,artist ,soloist ore not well behaved :) and actually in any music. But it is very evident in classical as most composers are dead and we almost never record original events but what rock fans would call cover/tribute bands ;) and focus shifts to who interpreted what in what context ? An effort to break this meta data paradigms would greatly enhance music listening and exploring , especially if the "clues" left in one piece of music could lead to another in a natural way ?? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mnyb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4143 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=96191 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
