[QUOTE=garym;177925]I'm not sure about PRODUCER, LABEL, VENUE. But I'd guess they do NOT handle multiple values. So you'd be back to using "," or "/".[/QUOTE]
Hi,
I have totally [I]killed off [/I]COMPOSER_SORT now.
And am in the process of losing the '/' symbol - within VENUE and PRODUCER fields - in favour of a ',' (please see "Heavy Heart" - Carla Bley / "Master Strokes" - Bill Bruford):

Re: Tags, Tags, and more Tags ...
Hi,
I am editing an album (a compilation called "Stan Getz & Colleagues") which has (for one track) a rather long medley!:
[INDENT][ATTACH=CONFIG]1750[/ATTACH][/INDENT]
I have [I]re-tagged[/I] the COMPOSERS properly (ie. with a '[B],[/B]' instead of '[B]/[/B]'), but I am not sure which symbol I should use for the actual SONGS, please? As you can see, at the moment, they are still '[B]/[/B]'.
I would think the decision as to whether or not to [I]tag[/I] as individual songs, or as a medley [I]in it's own right[/I], would depend upon if the user wanted the songs to show up - when running a [I]search[/I] - as a [I]whole[/I], or as separate titles.
This is the first time I have come across a 'medley' as yet.
Many thanks in advance,
Paul

Paul, I use / for medleys. Because of the forbidden Windows filename characters, this will show as - on Windows devices.

Hi Oggy,
Thanks for the fast response!
Oh really? So no '[B],[/B]' or '[B];[/B]'! I should just leave it exactly as it is then?
If you look at the very top field in the screenshot, then you will see a '[B]-[/B]' separator, which I think is what you are specifically referring to?
Cheers,
Paul

definitely NOT a semicolon. I use / or sometimes >

Hi Gary,
Thanks for clarifying.
Does the '[B]>[/B]' appear as a '[B]>[/B]', please? And is this - for yourself - just more of a [I]visual[/I] (aesthetic) preference to a '[B]/[/B]', or does it have a specific [I]function[/I], please?
Cheers,
Paul

nothing special. I tend to use the ">" in live shows where one song blends into another. This has long been a common indicator of this by collectors of live "bootleg" shows. I use "/" on studio albums where there is a medley.

Thanks for the insight Gary.
I think I will stick with the '[B]/[/B]' as I have a lot on my plate as it is! I can always go back and change such symbols at a later date, if need be.

Re: Tags, Tags, and more Tags ...
Hi,
I am tagging an album in which Chick Corea is playing and being interviewed by Marian McPartland.
The format is basically:
[INDENT]1 - Interview
2 - Song
3 - Interview
4 - Song
and so on ...[/INDENT]
Obviously the songs take care of themselves. But with the interviews, what do you place in COMPOSER? I would guess that the two options would be to state:
[INDENT]
'Chick Corea; Marian McPartland'[/INDENT]
or to state:
[INDENT]
'N/A' (non applicable)[/INDENT]
Many thanks,
Paul

If its not a song, I'd leave the COMPOSER tag blank.

Be careful. I have always tried to avoid using semi-colon and forward slash characters in my tags (unless as a separator), as tag editing software use these characters as separators in multi-value tags.
Historically, there have always been issues with users using AC/DC in the artist and album artist tags.

Gary,
Would you just leave it empty, or would you check the red-cross and DELETE the field completely, please?
Or it is the same difference?
Thanks,
Paul

[QUOTE=garym;178002]definitely NOT a semicolon. I use / or sometimes >[/QUOTE]
I've never seen a > used, with the exception of, <segue> between two tracks from a 24/96 FLAC file. On both the LP and CD, these are listed as separate tracks, but the music is continuous, I changed it to /
If you look at the track names from the metadata providers, most use / or - some have a space, on the LHS, some on the RHS, the rest a space either side - I use the latter.
I really like the idea of using the > !
This is all personal preference, as you can rename a song title, to anything you want.
Choices!!

FWIW, when a composer is unknown, I use unknown, for dialog, interviews etc. I use n\a.
For medleys (in the title) I use ~. :)

Thanks mville,
Do you mean if/when you open/edit your FLACs in a s/w other than Illustrate?
