I'd like to include all my music in those types of searches by substituting TPE1 when the other tags are not present. I suppose that I could make my own workaround by writing a script to copy the TPE1 data into TPE2-4 when those tags aren't already filled. > I'm not sure about using TIT1 for browse-by-composer-with-no-TCOM .. if > you have any non-classical at all, TIT1 will be filled with song > titles.Oops, I typed the wrong thing, I meant TPE1 and TPE2. But...that brings up another thing. Isn't TIT2 the "song title"? The ID3v4 spec says that TIT1 is the "larger category of sounds". -- 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
