Hi
I've failed before but I want to try again after having purchased a copy of Verdi's complete works.
The task is to rip all my classic cd's, organize them and make it easy to play.
Now, AIUI most audio players know about songs, or tracks, and albums, or cd's. Classic music needs a little bit more control. A piece of work can span several cd's (as most operas do), or two complete opposites can share a cd
So completely ignore the artificial CD divisions... I had a long discussion about this with a friend who had a similar problem - the result was to 're-interpret' the tags... He uses "Artist" as "Orchestra", and "Album" as "Name of Piece", with "CD number" representing the act for operas, and track number for movement/aria etc... But I expect you'll want to come up with your own method. Basiclly: don't feel straight-jacketed into the tag names - use them how you wish (so long as you are consistent and logical...) (I have one with Beethoven's Pastorale symphony and
Tjajkovskij's Pathétique.
What I want is a way to just find a piece of work, e.g. a recording of Don Giovanni, 3 cd's and play it, or just listen to the cavatina from the same opera, having the choice from all the recordings I have.
So I wanted to try Amarok.
I tried to rip a cd containing Carl Nielsen's 3rd and 4th symphonies (Espansiva and Inextinguishable) but immediately ran into trouble. The composer wasn't recognized, and I want to classify the genre as well. Best as two levels (classic/symphony), but there seemed to be no way to tell Amarok that. Sure, there is an option to edit information about the tracks, but all fields (Genre, Composer, etc) were disabled.
Not sure that is the way to do it either. Any best practice advise for that, or for any other player?
