The ISRC looks similar to the ISBN for books. I am not sure how thoroughly it is implemented and used but having a unique identifier for each CD-release would be useful in sharing tags.
I haven't slogged thru tags in my collection lately, my software is old and dusty these days. But when I was looking at it a lot, the ISRC was not well supported.
And the question of exactly what a "CD-release" is turns out to be non-trivial. At OneBigCd, we found things like albums with the same UPC code (and name and artist) that had radically different CDDB hash values, sometimes they had different numbers of tracks, lots of times they had differing track lengths. And it is pretty hard to calculate the CDDB hash once the files are in FLAC or MP3 or other format (I think you can do it if they are still PCM files, but who wants to keep them).
But most of this is just a SMOP, once the motivation is there. -- Pat Farrell PRC recording studio http://www.pfarrell.com/PRC _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
