I had a brief moment where I considered inputting all the info that those tags allow--conductors, record label, nature of ensemble, etc.--but then realized that my summer vacation is fast slipping away.<BR/><BR/>The screen shot of the iTunes page was helpful, too, as is the info about the tags generally.<BR/><BR/>I clearly need to keep playing around, to find the balance between enough information and too much typing.Isishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12050282354531898285noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8288562.post-1123594672857418212005-08-09T09:37:00.000-04:002005-08-09T09:37:00.000-04:00Er, sorry: "MP3 tag v. 3.2" is nonsense.

That of course doesn't solve the whole problem (how do you list conductors vs. performers, where is the place to list recording date vs. original release date vs. date of the current release, etc.) but it's a start.<BR/><BR/>iTunes also has a field called "Grouping" which allows you to pull together different movements of a classical work under a common header, minimizing the need for really long song titles.<BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://www.lo.redjupiter.com/gems/jarretthousenorth/iTunesInfo.PNG" REL="nofollow">Screen shot</A> of a classical movement in iTunes here. I tend to use that "comments" field as a hold all for a bunch of other information, like the items I mentioned above.Timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14237304919663347621noreply@blogger.com
