Proficient Metadata Composer?

[zahne]

Anyone label their discs and tracks? Or do people just leave them be? I used to find in cumbersome in the 90's but it feels pretty normal in our texting day and age! So I have all of my stuff labeled. What about y'all?

[Bwil]

I always have, even before NetMD. Titles were one of the cool things about minidisc.

I love titling with a deck, without remote. I have reached the limit of 1785 characters several times !

Yes, I always title each and every track, group and the disc name. Sonicstage, for all it's faults, is for me the best (and only) way of titling tracks & discs. Before that it was by remote and keyboard, but found it too irksome, slow, and error prone, once PC titling was available. Only tried titling on a portable once and that was enough...

Shame about the character limit with legacy, I often hit that with LP2 recordings, particularly with 'classical' music.

Yes, my pet hate is overlong listings from CDDB dragged in by Simple Burner.

Indeed, I almost always ignore what comes out of Gracenote/CDDB. My system is something like: Composer/Artist - Work/Track Title - Movement - Recording artist, which is quite character heavy. Probably spend half my spare time titling, which is sad. The recording part is relatively straighforward.

It Just shows , that The Baroque period , was a more carefully crafted point in time ..........

We fly by the seat of our pants nowadays ....... so to speak

Ahhh , for want of 1 more really good composer to grace us , another Vivaldi ........ wouldnt that be nice ?

They certainly knew how to knock a tune or two out in those days. The 18th century was when music was defined for me. I've never really got the hang of the later classical stuff. Myabe one day.

Oh god, I just love how SS strips all the miscellaneous metadata from MP3 files.

If you ever downloaded music from warez groups, you wouldn't believe the amount of trash they put in there.

Well on the Mac with MD Transfer 2.0 ..... You dont have all the different conversion function etc of Sonic Rage , but , if it is in HiMD Mode , You can edit , and Type away for track names etc . Also If I import an MP3 file it carries the metadata with it , so on screen you get Source of file ( Web address sometimes included , kinda cool)

Name of Artist , all that stuff . Recently with Audacity , When you save or export something You get a full Metadat editor window to go thru before you export that file , With all the goodies Artist , Genre , Year , Album , plus you can add more to the process if you wish .

So Sonic isnt the only way to go .......

But Yeah the Labeling thing is kinda fun , I like seeing the names scroll on the remote .

That being said , I still have about 300 discs that arent labeled yet

I have WinRemote and really loved it back before NetMD. The best feature was a batch titling window where you could paste in disc and track titles, hit go, and watch each track being named.

I'd like to have a batch titling window like this that worked via USB. I do a lot of realtime recording, and that can mean a lot of typing.

A long time ago I use a program for Palm called MD Titler

and that helped me a lot, or I just had fun with it.

You could title all tracks via infrared and save the titling in memory

for future use.
