That last one is a collection by the ensemble Stile Antico of works by many different composers. Ergo, our Album field might look like this: What I do with Album name is to make it consistently a quick summary of what is on the album. Quote from: stanzani on January 16, 2016, 04:57:13 am Ok, for us classical music enthusiasts (maybe 3% of the marketplace) life is sometimes harder than the rest of you so I am lookng for advice about tagging.įirst, I assume you have looked at the other recent thread here on this: just be consistent.Īnyway check the links that BillT indicated, there are lots of ways that people handle - this it really depends on the size of your collection IMO - and of course how you want to search and how much information you want to have at your fingertips. is much easier than changing file names and paths. Should you change your mind retaggging, adding fields moving performers from soloist to artist, etc. I would really recommend using metadata (tags) and views rather than messing around too much with directory names (also avoid long paths or you could run into problems with file lengths). This is good for web searching and there are two many albums with multiple compositions on them and you would be splitting the albums up all over the place otherwise.Īnyways, there is no ripping standard or really a general consensus. I do recommend keeping the Album Title as is though just adding needed info in brackets or parethesese to delineate different versions (like I do for Conductor here's an example Bellini: Norma or Schubert: String Quartets 14 & 13 Quatuors a Cordes. I add the conductor in Brackets (sometimes you might need conductor plus original date like for Maria Callas Norma wher you can have same orchestra, conduct and orchestra) after the Album name to separate things so instead of have tracks 1-20 for 3 cds I'll have 1-60. for operas I retag the track nos to be sequential (these are not written to disc tho, so you can always go back if needed, check the field properties in JR options for whether it writes or not to the file. I use Period, Genre, and Style in my views to further break things down Like Romantic, Orchestral, Concerto etc.įor multi-discs sets or works i keep the original cds separated. In this way you have movement as the name (or aria or what have you) can search, compare just by work. I have created a custom field (usually this is contained in the track name so it can be split from within JRiver without typing everything in ) there are many reasons to do something like this or similar some people have an additional field for Opus BMV type Soloists are in the Soloist field not in the Artist field generally - very handy for Opera Multicomposer albums I put Various Composers in the Album Artist field the physical media files are contained in a folder \Various Composers\ Most of the time the orchestra or ensemble is in the Artist (works better in remote views - but is duped in Orchestra fields I have the Composer duplicated as Album Artist ( to keep albums together without too much messing around I have distinct Classical Views based on Composer Verdi\Aida - Aida becomes the Album title to separate versions (sometimes you need more than this) On a rip I create directories on composer then work name followed by conductor eg. Yes this is a big subject no general consensusįor what its worth I'll summarize what I do how do I manage almum+name with different performers? using the album field for composition and the name field for movements keeping the same CD - od more CDs in cae of opera: operas works fine) in the same directory I want to share with the other classical music enthusiasts my experience and get theirs. Overall this methodology loses the concept of Album. I see that in most cases tags foresee the album and embed everything in the name (Composer+composution+movement) Even works they same the same album artworkĮven worse situation is for recital and compilations. They are filed in the same album cathegory. I am puzzled as soon as I rip two editions with the same Goldberg variation with different performer (e. For some pieces the two fields are the same (e.g. XXXIII Quodlibet or I Allegro non troppo). Goldberg variations BWV 988: please observe the opus number in embedded in the text field) and the field 'Name' to identify the movement or tany sub-item of the composition (e.g. so I am using the 'album' field to identify the composition (e.g. Tags do not have the concept of composition, opus number etc. Ok, for us classical music enthusiasts (maybe 3% of the marketplace) life is sometimes harder than the rest of you so I am lookng for advice about tagging.
