Re: [slim] Live show help in Squeezecenter
I have figured out how to create my albumsort tag. However, when I create the tag I also have to input a value, does anybody know what I should put in that field? Thanks so much for the help!! I am so close to being able to organize my collection. -- rydenfan rydenfan's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=15335 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=43972 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

I cannot seem to find a way to do this using TAG.

SqueezeCenter doesn't write tags -- it uses the tags you have. If your TAG program won't do it, you should try one of the other Mac programs listed in the wiki, such as Media Rage, MusicBrainz, or ExcelTagger. I don't think you've ever said what format your files are, but if they're FLAC, you could also use the metaflac utility that comes with Flac http://flac.sourceforge.net. -- aubuti aubuti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2074 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=43972 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Live show help in Squeezecenter
SqueezeCenter sorts using the ARTISTSORT and TITLESORT tags (I think I've remembered correctly - check to make sure, though) in preference to the ARTIST and TITLE tags you normally see. I suspect you could set these with the year first to allow the sorting behaviour you want, while maintaining the display format you also want. It seems just like displaying Miles Davis but sorting on Davis Miles to me. Hope I've not completely misunderstood your question!

I prefer not to put the year in front of of the month and day if possible. Is there a way to achieve this?

Re: [slim] Live show help in Squeezecenter
Use a tagging program. Which program will depend what platform you are on (Windows, Mac, Linux), and possibly what format your files are in. For Windows, mp3tag is a good program that does FLAC and Ogg files as well as mp3.

Re: [slim] Live show help in Squeezecenter
That's definitely the best advice. Two good pages in there are: http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.cgi?BeginnersGuideToTagging http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.cgi?SlimServerSupportedTags I second MP3Tag (if you're using Windows).

Re: [slim] Live show help in Squeezecenter
Most applications can't sort the way you request using the date format you specify. Almost all algoritms sort starting with the first character and then second and so on. This is pretty logical since that is how sorting should be done. What you actually ask for is that there is a sort method for every date format. Not an unusual request. I believe the data is stored in a single database column so it is actually up to MySQL for providing the ability to sort like you would like. Don't know if this is possible. The US uses the .MM.DD format. It's just easier to read and sort. But us europeans often use a DD.MM. format.

I use TAG which is a program for Macs. I will have to check it out tonight and see if it has it.
