    Question Re: Tags, Tags, and more Tags ...

    Hi mville,

    OK, I see.

    What if I had all of the YEAR tags containing just one single entry (ie. the album was RELEASED [eg. 1968]); and then a self-created RECORDED tag containing the year(s) the album was RECORDED?

    Knowing both the RELEASE and RECORDED YEARS are both important to me.

    Thanks,

    Paul

    this makes more sense to me.

    Hi Gary,

    Therefore, my question now is, please, what would you state in the self-created RECORDED field (this value would be for ALL tracks on a CD)?:

    RECORDED = 1973, 1974

    RECORDED = 1973 \ 1974

    RECORDED = 1973~1974

    The punctuations I have used so far in my tagging scheme are:

    , ; \ ~


    Thanks, a lot

    Paul

    How about RECORDED = 1973-1974? That's a standard way of displaying a range of years.

    Nice one JH,

    I will settle for that!

    Cheers,

    Question Re: Tags, Tags, and more Tags ...

    Hi,

    For 95%+ of my CD rips I am content with knowing just the PRODUCER. However, with the band 'Weather Report', I am most interested in their production side of things:


    (Keyboardist) Joe Zawinul produced every album they made, but almost all of these albums had co-producers (who where always a band-member).

    So, would you include the Co-Producers within the Producer field?:

    PRODUCER = Joe Zawinul, Wayne Shorter, Jaco Pastorious

    Or, would you create an exclusive tag here:

    CO-PRODUCER = Wayne Shorter, Jaco Pastorious

    As I say, this is only going to be for albums by 'Weather Report'.

    Many thanks,

    Paul

    Unless you foresee using it for other than Weather Report, I wouldn't bother with creating a new tag. It wouldn't be difficult to add the tag later if you change your mind.

    Hi JH,

    Correct, it would only be exclusively for this single band.

    Hi JH,

    I have made the adjustments.

    Do you think searching by YEAR will be OK with this scheme? Foobar seems to be fine at least.

    Cheers,

    Paul

    I only considered the information, not searching on it.

    A search of "1973" or "1974" or "1973-1974" should match RECORDED=1973-1974. "1973 1974" (note the space) should also match, as both of the query words are found in the tag. Searching with a query of "1973 1975" would fail as far as RECORDED is concerned because the tag doesn't include the second year.

    This assumes that matches are found if all the words in the query are found in the data being searched. As an example, searching my foobar library for "Tom MP3" gives me a single result: the release on MP3 of Major Tom by Shiny Toy Guns. I don't get anything from Tom Grant or Tom Middleton, or Major Tom from David Bowie or Peter Schilling, because I don't have tracks in MP3 format for any of those artists.

    Thanks JH,

    That's very interesting.

    I had not thought of a scenario where one might search for an album spanning a 2 year period, but with the query only including one of the years.

    Also, I had not considered searching for a file-format; although I only have FLACs in my collection to date, and it is fairly likely to remain that way as far as I foresee.

    Cheers,

    Paul

    Foobar searches all the metadata. (Maybe there is an exception, but I don't know of any.) I knew I had a version of Major Tom in MP3 and could count on it being the only result of a "Tom MP3" search, making it an excellent example.
