That's exactly what I do! My Christmas CDs contain a huge variety of genres; Religious, Rock, New Age, Easy-Listening, etc., but it all gets lumped together under Christmas to be shuffled played...

Well, I tried but it didn't work. Like you say, my software either lumped all the words together so I got something like "Rock Punk Anarcho-Punk" as one genre, or it just displayed the first word;...

I’m going to try this and see if any of my software has the ability to read multiple genre tags. If it works it could be a great solution, with the first tag as the main genre followed by a couple of...

I only thought about including styles as a way to make choosing a genre easier. For example, is an album Heavy Metal or Thrash Metal? In this case I can just choose the genre as rock and put both...

I would like to keep genres as simple as possible. At the moment my list looks something like this:


Blues
Christmas
Classical
Country
Electronic
Folk
Jazz

I've been thinking about doing the same thing! Like you say, on a soundtrack where all the tracks are by the same artist, I would probably save that under the artist's name and not OST. As for...

I would be completely lost if not for the help of garym and the other forum members. I've been back and forth with questions for over a month now, and have only just got things set up the way I want...

That's great advice, thank you. I also like to add as little as possible, but I think having [MFSL] or [DCC] in the album title actually looks quite good! I hadn't even thought about the MFSL covers...

Do you have OST as the album artist for all soundtracks? That actually makes a lot of sense, especially if the soundtrack is a compilation.

Actually, Oggy, you've reminded me of something else...

Just as I thought, my assumption was wrong and the answer was simple! As always, thank you for taking the time to explain. That little number 1 in the Compilations field really is far more important...

The way things work is all starting to make sense at last, and I now understand more of the settings in my software as well as what I've learnt about naming strings and tagging. I feel like I've been...

This is something I meant to ask about. When the individual discs each have their own folder under the Album parent folder, they are simply labelled “Disc 1”, “Disc 2”, “Disc 3”, etc. The album name...

Thanks, garym. So exactly the same as what I’m doing, except I have a "Various Artists" folder instead of "Compilations". My "Lossless" folder only contains FLAC files, so I might change the name to...

Well, after finally having a day to sit down and try out most lot of the things I've been thinking about, I've found that:


Everything works perfectly across all of my software as long as I...

For anyone needing a little light relief. Please add more!

I just saw Elvis coming out of B&Q.
He returned a sander.

Dire Straits and Chris Rea are to join forces and form a new band.
They're...

That seems to be the case most of the time!



As far as making things more confusing, not at all. In fact I was going to ask a question about the very same thing but it must have slipped my...

:cool::cool::cool:

If you don’t mind my asking, what was behind your decision to replace Various Artists with Compilations? I know garym also prefers Compilations.

I have the naming string set up to send...

I asked about this in the "Other Topics > General" forum, and Spoon kindly explained what was causing the problem:


So, I'll continue with what I was saying before about my playback software,...

Thank you, Spoon. I'll avoid using links or @ in future replies, unless absolutely necessary to illustrate a point.:thumbup:

I don't know if this is the way things work for everyone on this forum, but I'm having trouble with my replies not appearing after I submit them. It seems to be very hit-and-miss as to which replies...

Thank you, @Oggy. Unfortunately I'm having trouble with my replies not appearing after I submit them. I posted a reply two days ago, and another yesterday, neither are yet visible. Other times my...

I would like to see a way of clearing unwanted Naming Strings from within the CD Ripper software, as opposed to the current route of doing it through Registry Editor. With all the trial and error...

This what I understand so far. If I enter "Beatles, The" under Album Artist Sort, with "The Beatles" as the Album Artist, it should show up in the music library as "The Beatles" under artists...

Sorry @garym, that was poorly explained on my part. What I meant was that I'll start ripping CDs by artists that don't have "The" in their name (e.g. Beck, Led Zeppelin, Metallica, etc.), where the...
