mville,
I have used 'unknown' for an unknown COMPOSER throughout.
So for dialogue and interviews you use 'n\a'. A backwards slash as opposed to forwards?
For a 'medley', I have written:
(Medley) Blues / Jam In F Major / Drum Solo / Blues Refrain
On the CDs it typically states:
Medley: Blues / Jam In F Major / Drum Solo / Blues Refrain
I prefer parentheses to a colon.
Thanks,
Paul
Correct.
Yes. That is your choice and is fine.
However for me and the reasons given earlier, I don't want to use forward slash, if I can help it, so for me:
Medley: Blues / Jam In F Major / Drum Solo / Blues Refrain
becomes:
Blues~Jam In F Major~Drum Solo~Blues Refrain
and the tilde character ~ tells me the title consists of a medley (of titles).
mville,
For MEDLEYS:
(Medley) Blues / Jam In F Major / Drum Solo / Blues Refrain
should I instead use:
(Medley) Blues \ Jam In F Major \ Drum Solo \ Blues Refrain
Thanks a lot.
Thanks mville,
That's great mate.
I am going to make all the INTERVIEW tracks to an 'n\a' COMPOSER now.
I never even used that '~' symbol ever before!
And you have not experienced any issues with the '~' symbol appearing or being misinterpreted by different playback devices? I guess not.

... I only have a few 'medley' CDs. But this is how they now appear in Foobar:
So you don't leave any space between each song title and the '~'?
Is the '~' just a symbol you chose because it does not have any actually effect on anything? I mean, it does not have any actual function as such?

It really is up to you. (Remember also that forward slash is an illegal filename character, so it will need handling).
In this example (the Title tag), it will only be an issue for you if the software you use treats the Title tag as a multi-value tag and uses the forward slash as a multi-value tag separator (which is unlikely).
However, I have been tagging my library for years and even Illustrate has moved the goalposts in this regard and as such has caused me many issues, historically.
As a result, I now try to avoid the use of semi-colon and forward slash characters in my tags where I can (it gets difficult to avoid with genre and style), just in case the goalposts move once more.
Thanks Oggy,
I have just been trying out the '~' kind suggestion and I have to say that I am favouring this format.
In Foobar, if I search for '~', then all of the 'medleys' appear!
I think I also prefer the visual appearance. In the attached Santana/McLaughlin (PNG) track, I saved 15 x characters; '(Medley)' swallowed up 8 of them!
Cheers,
Paul
