I fear this topic can get heated, but IMHO the wiki and MusicBrainz approach is based on a now incorrect premise, viz. that players don't handle the Composer tag. Well, the Ipod and Squeezebox (with CustomBrowse plug-in) do!
My approach therefore: Composer Tag - composer, using a consistent standard from Grove of familyname, givenname or initials (i.e. Vivaldi, Antonio or Bach, C P E) Artist - the soloist, orchestra/ensemble/group, leader (i.e. English Baroque Soloists, Monteverdi Choir, John Eliot Gardiner) Title - first movement, name in full (Concerto pour pianoforte no.4 en Sol majeur Op. 58, I. Allegro moderato) Title - subsequent movements, just the movement (II. Andante con moto) Album - Composer (if sole on disk) · main work(s) on disk (Beethoven · Concerti 4 & 5 pour le pianoforte avec accompagnement d'orchestre or Bach · Goldberg Variations) That said, I increasingly rip pieces with all movements joined. I've never think, "I'll just listen to the Minuetto..." I appreciate that this approach means that the concept of discrete 'CD' packages transfer to the music server, i.e. the work is *not* the 'album'. However, given the album art I think this reinforces the link, so I keep it. -- amcluesent ------------------------------------------------------------------------ amcluesent's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10286 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=33600
