i have a few questions for the guru's here... we know that COMP tags as well as the VA logic detection both can classify an album (or track) as a compilation to SC7. are we all agreed on that?
[...it may also be true that other things do as well, such as folder name and location, or certain strings in tags, (like "Various Artists"). does anyone know if this is, or is not, the case? (meaning, if you had no COMP tags and had VA logic detection turned off, would SC7 use any other criteria to conclude some album or track was from a comp?)...] in any case... my main question is why does this classification matter? in other words, what is the benefit to SC7 "knowing" if such and such an album or track is from a compilation or not? yes, i understand that if the VA logic determines something is a comp, it places it, or sorts it, in the VA section of your SC library. but what if you had no comp tags at all, (i don't), and what if you turned off VA logic detection, and instead relied on other tags to sort your music properly? in that scenario, what downside is there to SC not knowing some album or track is from a comp? i am not saying that it isn't important for SC to know. i am just saying that if someone asked me why SC needs to know, i wouldn't be able to answer that question. the only thng i know positive comp classification does, is resort comps into the VA section, but beyond that, i don't know why SC needs to know. and since proper sorting can be achieved more easily and precisely using tagging methods, i don't know why classifying comps is necessary. if anyone can explain the benefits, please do. thx! -- MrSinatra www.LION-Radio.org Using: Squeezebox2 (primary) / SBR (secondary) / SBC - w/SC 7.1beta - Win XP Pro SP3 - 3.2ghz / 2gig ram - D-Link DIR-655 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ MrSinatra's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2336 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=48591 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
