As some of us in IT have said "The beauty of Standards is that there are so many of them" (and thus keep loads of people in work).
It's a real shame that no serious data analysis was done on music and possible cataloguing and relating schemes when mp3s, aac and their forerunners were first developed. With flacs you can do your own thing, and with the help of flexible servers, such as LMS with plugins (and even foobar2000 as a UPnP server), develop your own scheme. However it's fraught with problems, not least that some of the tools may not be flexible enough to do what you want, so you have to build on top of what exists now just in case. I find it difficult to believe that the basic data analysis is particularly difficult, it's just that it is too late in the evolution of music servers and storage standards to do much about it. Where it would get really clever would be in analysing the music itself and then suggesting relationships to other music. Has anyone ever attempted anything like this? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ PasTim's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=41642 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
