Can't we have a boilerplate response to this by now, instead of threads that drag on for pages?
- If you tag your music properly, SqueezeCenter deals with most collections correctly (it does have a few problems, but most people will not see those) - Some software (such as WinAmp) will not work properly unless you tag your music improperly - Ergo, if you try to use the same files in both WinAmp and SqueezeCenter, you will likely encounter problems. This will remain the case until WinAmp is fixed I'm sure we could come up with a boilerplate reponse for the other side too, such as: - WinAmp may not be adhering to all the required specifications, but it's out there and SqueezeCenter should try to accomodate it as long as it doesn't break properly-tagged collections At which point all reasonable observers can agree that the real problem is mistagged collections, that software like WinAmp is the reason mistagged collections exist, and that it's only WinAmp's reluctance to fix the problem that has brought us to this point. But that only takes care of the "whose fault is this anyway" question, which usually is not the primary question--the real question is "how can we fix this?" There are two answers: - Fix your tags. If that means switching to different music management software, so be it. There are plenty out there to choose from that do not have WinAmp's limitations - Propose a fix to SqueezeCenter (in bugzilla, not here), with the understanding that if it breaks properly-tagged collections, it's never going to be implemented And that's it! It really is that simple! -- CatBus ------------------------------------------------------------------------ CatBus's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7461 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=61689 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/ripping
