I do CSN and CSNY seperately. > > And for ARTIST, could I input each band member as an artist, ie. Paul > Simon and Art Garfunkel for a S&G album, and put the album artist as > S&G? You could, but I don't.

Any cure? I try to minimize that, which isn't too hard with my choices most of the time. I use ALBUMARTIST to be "this is the bin it would be filed in at the record store", which takes all the tribute albums and groups them with the 'tributees' works. Ie, a Dylan tribute album would be filed under Dylan at the store even if he isn't actually on it. I will have to make up some fake artists at some point for some special collections... I don't have many "Greatest Hits of 1972" type compilations, so they don't bother me. If I did, I'd probably go back to my record store analogy: is it a series? is it big enough to get its own albumartist for grouping? (Ie, would it be tossed in a VA bin at the store, or some other bin?) Of course, tagging starts getting personal: your tastes may differ from mine, and you may want to file things differently. -- snarlydwarf ------------------------------------------------------------------------ snarlydwarf's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1179 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=74224 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/ripping
