The Classical Shop - Free album of the month.

I didn't have that problem with those recordings. I had tags.

The problem I always have is that nearly all classical IDs 

the performer as "artist" instead of the composer as "artist."

OK, technically, this is correct, but most software uses

the composer as "artist." Instead of getting what I prefer:

Erich Wolfgang Korngold - Violin Concerto in D Major

I end up getting:

James Ehnes, Vancouver Symphony Orchestra - Violin Concerto in D Major

Here's a screenshot of those two adjusted recordings if this will help you:

Now playing: WKCR - Columbia University

Thanks, I got the track info from he album pages on the classical shop. At the moment I am following a policy of putting the composer in the Album Artist tag and the performer in the Artist tag. It works quite well with how iTunes displays things as well as with how I navigate the iPod touch.

OK, good you got the track info.

See, your method doesn't work for me and most kinds of software

for the reasons I stated above. I'd MUCH rather have it like it is above with:

Erich Wolfgang Korngold - Violin Concerto in D Major

showing up rather than to have it look as if James Ehnes wrote the Concerto,

but everyone has their personal ways.

Now playing: Joseph Haydn - String Quartet in a Major, Op. 3 No. 6, Hob.III:18 (Spurious, Likely Composed by Anton Hofstetter): II. Adagio

(Joseph Haydn...instead of The Dekany Quartet as composers)

Prof, I found both on Amazon.  Of course nobody sane would ever go to the trouble of cleanly retagging all those tracks (like I did)

Germanprof

If sanity is inversely proportional to time spent retagging MP3 files in just the right way then I flubbba woodle wizza wheeeeeeeeeeee!

If the tracks are going to be in the library for any length of time, not getting them tagged the way you want them is the route to insanity. So, best to get it sorted out early

The July newsletter has arrived, as nearly always despite having their address white-listed it was in the spam folder...

I have received the August newsletter - with the link to his month's download - 

.

PaulR

Never did get the August newsletter, but the September one has arrived

PaulR

This month the newsletter brings a repeat of the Webber: Invocation album - well worth a listen if you have not already heard it.

There are some interesting new releases listed that look to be worth a listen as well.

Thanks Paul.  The tags aren't even too bad on this one, which is good, because there are 42 tracks!  The composer is listed as "Microsoft.VisualBasic.Collection," however.

PaulR

This month the newsletter brings another repeat - Elgar: Part Songs.

Doofy
