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 (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?
Like Roger Oberholtzer wrote: you could rip it with "ripit". (My favorite command for lossless FLACs: "ripit -nice 19 -nicerip 19 -c 2 -q 8 -u -W -p 0", but you can have Ogg Vorbis, mp3 VO, mp3 V2 or mp3 CBR as well). After ripping, and adding the files to the local collection of Amarok, you can edit whatever you want. And maybe you can import the tags with: "get tags from MusicBrainz" in the editing dialogue.
