If using automatic matching can end up with multiple files with identical metadata Hi-Res and non Hi-Res versions of same album Lossless and lossy version of same album for portable devices Singles and albums may have same name Box Sets, may want to see sub disc titles This causes issue when browsing and searchingġ2 Solution 5:Dealing with Multiple Copiesĭifferentiate between Singles, Albums by adding (single, EP) to name Can auto identify hi-res (24bit) albums add add to album name Can add audio format to album name e.g (flac) Include/exclude disc sub titles from album name
Properly add Disc No, Disc Total and Disc SubTitle fieldsġ1 Problem 5:Dealing with Multiple Copies Combine this with existing metadata (including track lengths) and folder structure to ensure it is a valid match. We match to Releases not Discs Understands that all files in folder could be multidisc album, and that sub folders likely to represent discs within multidisc album Uses Acoustic Fingerprinting this listens to the music rather than just basing on track lengths on album Works for releases of any lengths i.e. So you rip your CD to server/computer CDs don’t store artist, album ectera Tools such as iTunes, dbPoweramp lookup CDs based purely on no of tracks and track lengths Can return totally wrong album with coincidentally same track lengths Total fail for releases with less than five tracks CD based not album based so no consistency over discs in multi disc album Doesn’t set Disc No, Disc Total fields because single disc based Sources such as freedb, poor quality Better sources as Gracenote still have errors no, way to fix them. Sometimes lookup returns the Artist Sort Name (Beatles, The) rather than their Display Name (The Beatles), another source of inconsistency Sometimes Sort Name are shoe-horned into main name Hard work entering sort names Cannot derive sort names automatically, e.g Josquin des PrezĪgain, artist is an entity, and each entity has a Sort Name We have sort fields for all people/group fields including Artist Album artist Composer Conductor Orchestra Choir Performer Arranger Lyricist Ensemble So you can display as Kate Bush, but sort as Bush, Kate Johnny Cash & June Carter Johnny Cash June Carter Ed Sheeran So each collaboration, or featured by involving an artist ends up as a separate artist in your browse listĪgain it comes now to entities, when we lookup it is decoded as So we know we have two artists and a connector, so we can store as We can do the same with featured artists, we can also drop the featured artist altogether if they are not of interest.
Johnny Cash and June Carter Featured artist e.g. Understands Artists as entities ( we store an Artist Id we know who they are) Artist Canonical Name, instead of using name on release we can use their main name If their main name is not in Roman script (eg Пётр Ильич Чайковский) we can use their Roman/English version of nameĬollaborations e.g.

Пётр Ильич Чайковский / Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky This makes it difficult to find all music by a particular artist Tools that lookup CD do independently of any other CD by same artist, so no consistency Manual Edit, easy to make mistakes and introduce inconsistencies
