Thanks Gary,
Well, this has kinda led onto somethin' else now!
And so, I am recently including the VENUE of where the concert/recording took place (in a self-created tag entitled: 'Performance').
Hence, track-1 reads:
Star_10.png
... and track-2:
Star_11.png
... and so forth.
I dare say that as expected, "<Various Performances>" correctly appears in the 'Meta-Data For All Tracks'?:
Star_12.png
But my main question is, please, what if I want to now add a 'Performance' tag to ALL of the 30 or so albums I have ripped to date?
Can this extra data be added via PerfectTUNES?:
Star_13.png
Or do I have to re-rip them all over?!
Many thanks.

Correct.
I really wouldn't get bogged down with individual recording session/live dates. As you know, these may be more than 1 year and are mostly never published.
FYI, the only dates I am concerned with are the original album release date and the re-issued/re-mastered album release date, as mentioned here: RE: Ripping Level Question (help?)
No, this is not correct (i.e. for different dates).
I already mentioned this here, also: RE: Ripping Level Question (help?)
Compilation is automatically set only if the artist tag differs on a CD.

Hi Paul,
As has been suitably hinted at by Jailhouse, I do believe that you have gone from a very lean naming scheme, a week ago, where nearly everything you wanted, was keyed in for you, to creating a whole load of extra work. Of course you have choices to do this, and only you know, if the extra work is worth the effort.
My Led Zeppelin, The Song Remains The Same, was another infamous example, as literally one line of lyrics, or, a few notes of a solo, was edited, from multiple performances.
Strawberry Fields Forever, is another well known example.
Good luck!

There are hundreds of tags you might add. You probably need to quit your job and work 12 hours a day to actually do the work to sort all that out, but I guess it is a hobby that will keep you out of trouble.
p.s. If you're interested in venue, why not use the VENUE tag rather than PERFORMANCES. Sometimes this is available in the online metadata databases.
Regarding adding tags. First and foremost you should understand that one NEVER needs to re-rip CDs in order to edit/change/add tags. Tagging can always be changed post ripping. This is not what you would do with PerfectTunes (or at least I've never used it for that). Rather, you can edit tags album by album or track by track by simply going to windows explorer, highlighting all the tracks in the album or a single track then right clicking and selecting "Edit ID Tag". From there you can edit or add any tags you want.
There are also ways to do "Batch Editing" as well. In this case you would use dbpa batch converter. You'd run that, then select the files you are interested in editing, then for the "convert to" instead of choosing a CODEC such as mp3 or FLAC, you'd instead choose the option of ID TAG UPDATE (You may need to install that utility dsp from CODEC CENTRAL). Then within the settings for that you can do all sorts of things about tags.

Hi mville,
I started, as you kindly suggested, using: YEAR and RELEASE YEAR a couple of weeks ago thanks. And I am pleased I did. But, now that I have progressed a little with dBpa etc, a few other ideas popped up recently. I think the reason for me wanting to include the different dates on a recording stems from the fact that I used to study LP covers religiously to glean info. And even thought I disliked the small dimensions of a CD cover, I still used to try and read it fro cover to cover. And so - for me - not knowing the dates is going to irritate me I can safely predict. Incidentally, I have round that researching/cross/referencing details with the likes of Wiki is proving to be quite interesting!
Thanks for clarifying the 'compilation' issue. I must have gotten cross-wires when running my experiments.
Paul
Oggy,
Yes, it IS more work - I admit. But I feel it is worthwhile because I am interested in the HISTORY of music (Jazz); as well as having studied the life/work of Miles Davis for over 30 years. And, of, course, I will get quicker at typing everything in as time progresses.
Thanks,
Paul
Cheers Gary,
Well, you are correct in that adding more tasks to ones ripping is going to add more time and effort. But I am actually not in any kind of mad rush to get the job done. If I only manage to rip (say) 2 CDs per day, and it takes 6 months to a year to complete everything, then so be it.
Thanks for pointing out the 'Venue' tag. I shall substitute 'Performance' for this.
It this how/where you would edit the tags of any incorrect pre-ripped CDs, please?

Gary,
I was not able to find the 'venue' tag within dBpa?
Cheers.

Hi mville,
OK, thanks. I must have misunderstood Gary's reply. I thought he meant it was already a 'preset' tag in dBpa.
I already have the concerts/recording-studio locations saved as a custom-made tag: 'Performance', and so I may as well just keep it as that. No point in re-configuring just for the sake of having it under a different tag name. Had 'Venune' have been pre-defined, then I may have switched over.
Paul
