Hello not sure this is the right place to post my comment/question ...... I'm enjoying all the amenities of LMS and first wish to thank M.Herger and the community for your active upkeep of the LMS planet, terrific job !
here's my question: DSF files are becoming more popular these days, and I have added a few DSD albums to my music server, however LMS seems to have a hard time handling multiple artists in DSF file metadata. I would typically use Foobar2000 to enhance/correct/update tags when filing new albums onto my NAS, and this works very nicely with FLAC files (after letting LMS do a rescan). Now with DSF files, glitches appear: essentially the multiple artist separator (semi-colon) is not "parsed" so I end up with an incorrect artist cross-reference list showing items like "artist A / artist B / artist C" as a single artist entry. I know tagging may not be quite "normalized" with DSD as it is with FLACs, yet..... I'v tried using MP3tag and replacing all semi-colons in multiple artist tags by double back-slashes.... After a LMS rescan, I observe that LMS actually correctly display artists in about 1 out of 4 updated DSD albums, not quite the expected miracle ! Wouldn't it be nicer if LMS had a provision for handling these metadata syntax inconsistencies, which I believe are unavoidable, and may be considered as being part of "real life" after all ? thank you so much for your feedback. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ jlt1947's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=69866 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=99537 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
