>absolutely a possibility, IF you only want to use SC. > Most tags support multiple genres, so there's no harm storing extra genres - it won't muck up other apps.
>btw, just to be clear, i don't "pollute" ARTIST tags but rather AA tags, Album Artist tags are a type of artist, therefore you are poluting the Browse Artists list with non-artist items. >b/c i use those to simply sort my music, not identify the artist. Why Album Artist though? The same could be done with Album title or Genre. Eg. prefix all soundtrack album titles with "OST: ", or add categories onto your Genre "Rock;OST". What do you do if there is a christmas comedy soundtrack album (okay, maybe you haven't got many of those, but let's go with the concept!). Would your album artist be "Christmas - Comedy - Soundtrack - Chas & Dave"? If so, you would not have all Comedy together, and you wouldn't have all Soundtracks together. i.e. it's not possible to sort a list of things, when things can have multiple items. The best way, for Squeezebox Server (and other apps that have interfaces that are not simple grids of single-value data cells), is to have multiple genres, and then Browse Genres, to get a list of albums for a chosen genre. _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/ripping
