Re: [SlimDevices: Ripping] Adding ReplayGain tags
Did the bulk file changer and copied the Modified time stamp to the Accessed time stamp, ran foobar2000 to do track gain and then album gain. Looks like I've now got RG for Albums and Tracks with album peaks and track peaks. Looking at the files I see that foobar2000 preserved the Modified time stamp so now the Accessed and Modified timestamps are the same which I don't see as a big deal. Couldn't find any documentation on foobar2000 leaving the Modified timestamps alone! Anyone have any info on that?

However, you should find that some CD's are recorded louder than others. The intent of the RG tags is to make it so when you play multiple albums together the relative volume between albums should be about the same. If you're playing a playlist of multiple songs from different albums RG should make the songs play at relatively the same volume.

I made a conscious decision that I don't care about the original album title / track # on that album for my singles in my singles folder. My tagging of my singles does have the correct dates and genres for each music file in the singles folder. If I end up acquiring an album that has a song in my singles folder, the song gets removed from the singles folder. My "Singles" album only has 48 songs in it. For the most part I'm an "Album" type person so my singles folder represent less than .2% of my collection.

Re: [SlimDevices: Ripping] Band tag in dsf files
I was not saying that a separate BAND tag had been implemented in the LMS database, I was saying that you can put multiple items in TPE2 by separating them with a semi colon ";". You would then see separate entries for each one in the "Album Artist" view with the LMS setting of "Treat TPE2 MP3 tag as Album Artist". There is only one TPE2 tag and depending on your setting in LMS it will either be treated as "Album Artist" or "Band". I use DBPoweramp with LAME encoder to rip to MP3's.

Re: [SlimDevices: Ripping] Band tag in dsf files
I think your TPE1 and TPE2 are written by your ripper or tag editor. LMS doesn't write these. The treat TPE2 as band or album artist only affects how the LMS database is built. I wonder what would happen if you coded your 2 things as album artist field separated with a semicolon ";". There are other tag fields that LMS supports having multiple - separate values in the same tag, example is you can have multiple genres in the TCON tag.

What do you use to RIP? Just looking at DBPoweramp and find that it uses many sources concurrently, Musicbrainz is just one of them. Don't know what happens if there's disagreement in tag sources.

Re: [SlimDevices: Ripping] Documentation of tagging
The only thing I'm aware of is the LMS code itself. As an example I have TBPM in all my mp3 files populated using MixMeister which puts it out to 2 decimal places as text eg; 124.43 beats per minute. LMS has a field for BPM in the tracks table, however it only supports integers (whole numbers) so it would ignore the MixMeister populated tags. The ID3v2.3 spec says this field should be integer but is a text field so it allows decimal numbers to be stored. This led me to find an action developed by user moonbase for MP3Tag that rounds the TBPM field to the nearest integer. I now have BPM stored in the LMS Database and use Erlands SQL and Dynamic playlists plugins to create and play playlists with BPM as part of the playlist filter (I have to manually edit the SQL to add BPM as a filter criteria because Erland doesn't support BPM in his SQL Playlist plugin used to generate the SQL). If you would like to take a look at what all is in the LMS Database you should grab SQLite Expert Personal 3. This is a great tool to access the LMS database if you want to know what all is in there...

Re: [SlimDevices: Ripping] Android music player that treats compilation albums same as LMS
I think I owe you an apology. I did not mean to give the impression that my tagging of Album Artist (TPE2) did anything on my phone using Google Play Music. I was explaining my use in LMS (and prior to LMS software on my PC). I believe at the end of my first reply I said that if you want songs to group together on your phone in the Artist view you would have to have the Artist tag (TPE1) be the same across all songs in the album. I'm not aware of any Android play music app that pays any attention to Album Artist (TPE2). I think Google Play Music goes by just Album Title to group albums in the Album view and possibly having all the songs in the same folder.

Re: [SlimDevices: Ripping] Android music player that treats compilation albums same as LMS
Wonder what you mean... I have compilation albums that I've built on my Android phone that work just fine.

Re: [SlimDevices: Ripping] Android music player that treats compilation albums same as LMS
I don't think there's a product out there that has anywhere near the capabilities of LMS for controlling, grouping and searching for music within your library. I started building my digital music library years before I found Squeeze things. With the music library software I had used before LMS my above tagging method works with pretty much every music software out there including LMS. Because of the way I've always done my tagging I've not used the compilation tag for my compilation albums (I know, some would think this heresy in the Squeeze world). If I want to look at my compilation albums in LMS they're under V for Various in the Artist view and under V in the Album view because I've set the sort method to Artist, Year, Album. For Soundtracks I've always set the Album Artist to Soundtrack so that Soundracks are under S in the Artist and Album views. Using this sort method (bottom left dropdown button in the left pane of the WebUI) and the methods I've selected in Setting - My Music (List albums by band and Treat TPE2 MP3 tag as Album Artist) I've seen no need for the compilation tag. 2 Duets - 1 for upstairs and 1 for downstairs Rock Solid with LMS 7.8.0 and WHS 2011 w3wilkes's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=22973 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=103224 ___ ripping mailing list ripping@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/ripping

You may be right and they're not working on it. With my method of managing my music which I came up with long before I became a Squeezebox user I've found that Squeezebox server works just the same as my prior software. As a result I don't see a big need to put a lot of effort into changing the way it currently works. I know there are others that want to do different things with their libraries and want things changed. I wish you luck in getting your changes. w3wilkes's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=22973 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=95924 ___ ripping mailing list ripping@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/ripping

Re: [SlimDevices: Ripping] Retagging library - Various Artists problem...
Where you've set your Compilation things note that there is a fill in the blank item that says When compilation albums are grouped together, they appear under Various Artists I have a similar setup to you only in the tags I have set Album Artist = Artist explicitly and then when it's a compilation I set Artist = the performer and Album Artist = Various (not Various Artists). I think you have 2 choices to get what you want. The long way is to retag all Various Artists ro just Various or fill in the blank in the settings for compilations to be something like Various Bands. I think either way will get you where you want to go. w3wilkes's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=22973 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=95924 ___ ripping mailing list ripping@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/ripping

But speaking of track 6 (Feel a Whole Lot Better), I sure have trouble telling it apart from the original by the Byrds back in '65.

Re: [SlimDevices: Ripping] Is SBS case sensitive where artists are concerned?
Just a comment on the tags and their contents as opposed to the data modeling/data base design. I'll use the wiki on ID3 tags as a example (I would guess there are similar definitions for APE and Vorbis); http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ID3 (this refers to ID3.org as the owner of the spec for the contents of the various versions of ID3 tags) This is where I'd say the definition of tag contents is, not the data base modeler/designer that is building a base to accommodate the cataloging of these tags. If the spec for the tags doesn't state that leading/trailing blanks are not allowed in a given tags content then I'd say they are allowed. With that spec in mind then I'd think that it is the job of the data base designer to honor the possibility of having leading and/or trailing blanks. I believe that what we're seeing in the data base is a more strict interpretation of the tag specification. Strictly speaking I'd say that the owner of the file is responsible for the integrity of the data in the file and that the data base designer should honor the data as it is in the file as long as it conforms to the spec of that data type. -- w3wilkes 2 Duets - 1 for upstairs and 1 for downstairs w3wilkes's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=22973 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=88154 ___ ripping mailing list ripping@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/ripping
Re: [SlimDevices: Ripping] Is SBS case sensitive where artists are concerned?
I'm with Phil and Philip. I started this music server thing with a SoundBlaster Wireless Music solution many years ago. The software for that product along with WMP were very particular on how tags were handled. I found that out quickly when I started ripping my CD's and doing the tagging. When I switched to SBS and a Duet a couple of years ago my tags were a non-issue and the same for the move to 7.6. Computers have a LONG WAY to go before they get DWIM (Do What I Mean) capability (A example of DWIM would be the ability to recognize a proper name like Paul Simon and sort it to S vs Mötley Crue sorted to M). So until then I will expect things that match EXACTLY to be considered a matched set, otherwise they are not part of the same set. -- w3wilkes 2 Duets - 1 for upstairs and 1 for downstairs w3wilkes's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=22973 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=88154 ___ ripping mailing list ripping@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/ripping
Re: [SlimDevices: Ripping] Is SBS case sensitive where artists are concerned?
On MrC's point about Arc. You should also note that allmusic.com does not (probably can not) take the latitude with the name Arc that the album cover designer is afforded. They need the artist Arc to be a single artist in their data base. I could go along with stripping trailing blanks. Adding the strip option is something I'd see as a next release item to do it right and to avoid feature creep. To accomodate all views expressed in this thread I would think it'd have to be a 4 way option; StripBlank=No (This would be the default if not coded) StripBlank=Both StripBlank=Leading StripBlank=Trailing -- w3wilkes 2 Duets - 1 for upstairs and 1 for downstairs w3wilkes's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=22973 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=88154 ___ ripping mailing list ripping@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/ripping

Re: [SlimDevices: Ripping] Various Artists in Artists
As you can tell there are several opinions on how to properly tag your compilations. The thing about it is that they're all correct as long as the whole library is tagged consistently. As a debt to history my compilations in my library are all tagged with Album Artist = Various. Back when I built my first server in 2003 the best wireless solution I could find was the SoundBlaster Wireless Music system. It was much like the Duet in that there was a separate controller / receiver, however the controller only did text for browsing the library. It also had server software like SBS that you could also control the player from. The issue with compilation albums was the server had ZERO direct support for compilation albums. I found that I could set Artist to the track performer and Album Artist to Various and the compilations would sort as they should under the Various album artist. The Soundblaster server software had no capability of any kind to play music on the PC so if I wanted to play my music on the PC rather than the stereo I had to use WMP. This same tagging methodology worked fine for WMP too so I was set. A couple of years ago when I upgraded to the Duet I found that my library fell right into SBS looking (sorting) just like it always had. With the SBS server set to Group Compilations together, List Albums by band and Treat TPE2 MP3 tag as Album Artist all my compilations only show under the artist Various with no Various Artist entry in the beginning of the browse by artist menu. This is what I was used to so I'm happy with the way I've got it. -- w3wilkes 2 Duets - 1 for upstairs and 1 for downstairs w3wilkes's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=22973 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=88072 ___ ripping mailing list ripping@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/ripping
