I've researched this a bit more, and have come up with a tagging scheme that I think makes sense. I'd like to get a little discussion of this before I submit my ideas as feature requests.
>From the ID3v4 specification, these are the tags that are needed or desired: TALB: title of the CD/album the work is on TIT1: opus/work title for multi-part compositions (optional) TIT2: movement or song title TRCK: should be the track position on the CD that the work is on (order within the opus is the same as order on the disc) TCOM: Composer TEXT: Lyricist TPE1: soloist(s) or performer/band for popular music TPE2: ensemble TPE3: conductor TPE4: remixing artist TOPE: original artist when the song is a cover (not relevant to classical) TKEY: key in which the music starts -- extremely optional ;) TSOA: Album sort key TSOP: Performer sort key TSOT: Title sort key Behaviors I would like to see from slimserver: When the TIT1 field is present, have the option to treat TIT1 instead of TIT2 as the "song title" when shuffling or browsing. Thus, an album that contained a 3-movement sonata along with a few 1-track inventions, would shuffle as 1. sonata 2. invention #1 3. invention #2 4. invention #3 instead of 1. sonata movement 1 2. sonata movement 2 3. sonata movement 3 4. invention #1 5. invention #2 6. invention #3 The latter method results in getting the movements separately and out of order in a shuffled playlist. Perhaps add another shuffle mode: Shuffle by track -> Shuffle by opus -> Shuffle by album -> Don't shuffle I would also like to browse by composer (TCOM) or by soloist/ensemble (TIT1 + TIT2). For the composer search, use TIT1 where TCOM is not present so that the browse list still includes all available tracks. I would like slimserver to recognize the sort key tags TSOA, TSOP, TSOT if present -- John Stimson ------------------------------------------------------------------------ John Stimson's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=218 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=12914 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/ripping
