Putting an additional GENRE=Soundtrack fits your browsing requirements, I think, and is less weird than having an artist called Soundtrack.
You can then Browse Genres > Soundtrack. I feel this then fits better with tagging for SqueezeCenter, because if all songs on a soundtrack album are performed by the same artist, there is no need for an album artist tag - essentially it works the same as a regular album. If most songs are by one artist, but there is a single guest performer, you can use an album artist tag to reflect the mail performing artist. Putting "OST" in the album title would just be a label for display. Eg when browsing a list of album names. It wouldn't help for grouping or sorting. Essentially this is what I do. I also use additional genres as keywords for other purposes, such as "Surround Sound" for AAC encoded music that should only be played through a surround sound amp, and not analog outputs. If I had a Pink Floyd soundtrack album in dolby-digital surround sound format, I'd maybe tag that as GENRE=Progressive Rock, GENRE=Live, GENRE=Soundtrack, GENRE=Surround Sound. The artist would be Pink Floyd. I could find live albums by Browse Genres > Live, soundtracks by Browse Genres > Soundtrack, and surround sound music by Browse Genres > Surround Sound. It wouldn't always work correctly if were to attempt to use multiple ALBUMARTIST tags. _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/ripping
