Steve - Thanks for your message. Also, I certainly appreciate all your work on building the wiki on Compilations. I am willing to try to take a close look at it and make sure it ends up as good as it can be (and all credit to you for how good it is now!) I think I started trying to figure out this issue before the Compilations wiki was up and running, and did not think to look back for a new page as I proceeded.
At this point, I think there are two very important things that need to be addressed before revising the wiki on compilations: 1. We REALLY need someone (I think the developers) to update the Supported Tags list that is on the wiki. Furthermore, we need to develop some explanation for the use of many of the tags. I believe the inadequacy of the tags information is the primary reason that things are so difficult. As I have previously noted, there is no indication on the wiki that ALBUMARTIST is a viable tag. Other mysteries abound - how is BAND supposed to be used in a FLAC context? Are DATE and YEAR the same, and does SC associated them with the Track or the Album? Is ALBUMARTISTSORT supported? Etc Etc. Everyone of these items affects compilation questions and other multiple artist albums. I think it would be very helpful to SC users if they could frame out the total tag requirements for their collections, as editing tags on a large collection can be time consuming - if possible, I only want to add fields once. 2. Related to both my first point and your wiki, I think it would be helpful to separate discussions of MP3/ID3 tagging and FLAC/Vorbis tagging. Not saying separate wikis, just separate and distinct sections. I don't even think it is very apparent to most new SC users that ID3 tags are not used for FLAC files! I think this separation can be easily accomplished once point #1 has been addressed. I don't have a sense of who we look to for updating supported tags list and description of use within SC. Anyone know the answer to this? -- SlimTrigger ------------------------------------------------------------------------ SlimTrigger's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=19278 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=58069 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/ripping
