In Reply to: How bout a bar code scanner based server playback system? posted by marc g. on June 15, 2015 at 13:13:41:
I should have prefaced with the fact I dig vinyl and don't mind handling it, hence the similarity to my idea of dealing with my digital media in a similar fashion. I have a computer, phone, or a tablet in front of my face all day long as it is. I find them a distraction, hence my hesitance to use them for my music. That aside, here's what bothered me about PC audio (I used dbPoweramp to rip to FLAC and a SB2 to play it back through my DAC):
Screwy tagging during ripping had artists show up where sometimes, for example, albums from The Cure wind up under the C's, and some under the T's. Some I could fix, others I could not.
Once artists were together, I generally wanted to sort by release date but sometimes I might want to file a new (re)release of old music where it belongs - next to the original copy or by some other related work (a decision a program can't make and my main complaint). A release of previously unavailable from an earlier time period would be placed early in that artists chronological order. Simple drag and drop doesn't seen to be an option when sorting music on a PC!
Compilations & Soundtracks. I don't want the system to create an artist entry for each artist on the compilation/soundtrack as seems to be the norm. This makes my artist list too long and odd if I search by artist. I've always seen the title of the compilation/soundtrack as the artist name and "soundtrack" as the title of that album. That's how my physical library works and how identify with things.
Can ALL of these issues all be addressed?
