the page they linked is somewhat confusing, because the artist decided to include an "information" box talking about his latest album above the blog posts

Receiving an email doesn't imply reading it. Reading it doesn't imply understanding it.

***kepstin: My bad I guess, I hadnt enable "Rename files" BUT, with a Various Artists album, despite changing the rule for Multiple artist albums, Picard is putting all files into artist/album/track folders.... not as expected, album/track. I will have a closer look at the tags. cheers

***kepstin: for multiple artist albums I have "%album%/$if($gt(%totaldiscs%,1),%discnumber%-,)$num(%tracknumber%,2) %artist% - %title%" The example is correct as I expect it to be.

In terms of the tags, Album artist (or release artist) are not set. Is this picard not detecting multiple artist album?

***kepstin: Cofirmed that although the band album (under Clusers) is Varous Artists, picard is not treating it as a multiple artist album (i.e the single artist rules are applied). How can I overcome this?
2011-12-27 36151, 2011
kepstin
SpmP: picard always sets the album artist tag, even on single-artist releases
2011-12-27 36130, 2011

(you can see the tags in picard by double-clicking on a song to open the tag viewer)

kepstin: full f weirdness, the first album i "saved" added an entry to the left hand panel and the album artist is set as you say, although as picard did not detect it as a multiple artist album the album artist=artist. Subsequent "saves" have not added the album to the left hand panel, but have moved the files without updating tags... wtf (am I doing wrong)!
in order to save files, they must be matched with an album in the rightmost pane

Can genre be edited manually? Since Picard is doing such an awesome job of tagging/renaming/moving files I got to wondering if there is a possible heirachical genre possible (I sort albums by style mostly) i.e accoustic, classical etc... at any rate, cheers.
2011-12-27 36134, 2011
kepstin
you can manually override tags on a file by right-clicking on it, going details, then editing them.
2011-12-27 36150, 2011
kepstin
picard doesn't really have any sort of automatic genre system, since we don't store genres in the db
2011-12-27 36139, 2011
kepstin
picard does have an optional mode where it can use tags from the musicbrainz site to set the genre field; if you tag things on the site, and tell picard to only use your own tags, you can get a system that might work for you.
tracks 5 and 7 could be considered recordings of works 'String Quartet No. 3' and 'String Quartet No. 4 "Amazing Grace"'

I can't find mention of a work called "Crossings" which encompasses both of those two (and a silence track), but mainly because google results are saturated with this album

but isn't there some style guide which says that silent tracks must be named "[silence]"?

it’s easy to fit the 5 stars. I prefer the minimum possibilities, less than 5 stars would fit even better to my ratings ;)
2011-12-27 36154, 2011

that doesn't work for me. there are songs I hated a few years ago and now love, and vice versa. and also ones I sometimes like and sometimes don't

you don’t have to rate everything ;)

mine are “don’t like (skip please), OK (tolerable), like it, really like it, love it”

sometimes when you hear some real crap, it’s relieving to find it on MB and rate it one star *, so that you don’t make any more mistakes in the future by hearing something else by this crap-man ;)
2011-12-27 36154, 2011

so my "ratings" would be something a bit more like genres
2011-12-27 36157, 2011

but unfortunately, my ratings are now useless in NGS, I can’t brwose them anymore

2011-12-27 36150, 2011

that’s not rating ! I usually prefer sad but sometimes non-sad songs can be good too
2011-12-27 36107, 2011

2011-12-27 36101, 2011
nikki
jesus2099: exactly :P the sad ones I think are good when I'm in the mood for sad stuff and I probably never want to hear it otherwise. so that's like both 1 star and 5 stars simultaneously

2011-12-27 36130, 2011

I can too - but the rating is only valid for that moment in time :P
2011-12-27 36158, 2011
nikki
and then I'm like "argh! but I hate that song now!" and need to re-rate everything :P
2011-12-27 36147, 2011
jesus2099
I don’t mind if it changes and if my stars are obsolete. I’m not against tweaking them from time to time. But I don’t think I can go from love to hate or vice versa, on one song, it’s rare phenomena
2011-12-27 36103, 2011

The "Kepler Quartet" performed the tracks on this release. Should I add ARs indicating that the quartet performed on each track? ARs indicating that the members of the quartet performed their individual instruments on each track? Or perhaps both?
