first, i admire your patience, as i'm sure experimenting on a non-intel readynas is painful. be aware of this bug: http://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=9523 you have already implemented a solution, but good to know this anyway. the hardest part of figuring out SBS for id3 tag users is first understanding what TPE2 is all about, and then the relationship between band/AA and how it means different things and has different ramifications depending on how its treated. since you use itunes, comp status should be set by comp tags, and so TPE2 tags should not be as big an issue. but since itunes does consider TPE2 to be AA, it makes sense to have SBS do so as well. if for some reason comp tags aren't set, thats when you get into setting TPE2 (as an itunes user). as a non-itunes user, my tags don't include comp tags. therefore TPE2 is really essential for me. since these apps (WMP, winamp, etc) always set TPE2, i have TPE2 set on ALL my files, and so SBS reflects that, since i treat TPE2 as AA. how one tags is based mainly on two things: 1. what their rip software does 2. if they are only concerned with SBS afterward, or other apps as well so, there is no magic one size fits all, you just have to find what works best for you. -- MrSinatra www.lion-radio.org using: sb2 & sbc (my home) / sbr (parent's home) - sbs 7.5b - win xp pro sp3 ie8 - p4(ht) 3.2ghz / 2gig ram - 1tb wd usb2 raid1 - d-link dir-655 - 40k+ mp3 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ MrSinatra's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2336 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=78286 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/ripping
