Edit Disc Information
|
|
You can edit and correct the information for a collected disc with the
disc context menu using the right mouse button, by the menu 'Disc -> Edit',
by the keyboard shortcut 'Ctrl-E' and by the taskbar button
. You can also edit the cd
information for requested but uncollected cds. When all needed information
for a cd is entered the cd is moved to from 'Colleced Outstanding Requests'
to 'Local Stored Disc Information'. This is most usefull when one of your
cds is not yet in the database of your server. After entering the information
you should submit it.
Technically, this may consist of any data, but by convention contains
the artist and disc title (in that order) separated by a "/" with a
single space on either side to separate it from the text. If the "/"
is absent, it is implied that the artist and disc title are the same.
If the disc id a sampler containing titles of various artists, the disc
artist should eb set to "Various" (without the ").
The disc id is a (nearly) unique key for this cd. It can not be altered.
This field contains the "extended data" for the CD. This is intended
to be used as a place for interesting information related to the CD,
such as credits, et cetera. If there is more than one of these lines
in the file, the data is concatenated. This allows for extended data
of arbitrary length.
Each CD entry is assigned to a category of music.
Currently the "official" categories are listed as follows:
blues (self explanatory)
classical (self explanatory)
country (self explanatory)
data (ISO9660 and other data CDs)
folk (self explanatory)
jazz (self explanatory)
newage (self explanatory)
reggae (self explanatory)
rock (incl. funk, soul, rap, pop, industrial, metal, etc.)
soundtrack (movies, shows)
misc (others that do not fit the above categories)
This field contains the exact genre of the disc in a textual form
(i.e. write the genre here and do not use e.g. simply the MP3 ID3V1
genre code). Please note that this genre is not limited to the
11 CDDB-genres.
This field contains the year, in which the CD was released.
There is one of track information record for each track in the CD. This field
should contain the title of the track on the CD. If the disc is a
sampler and there are different artists for the track titles, the
track artist and the track title (in that order) should be separated
by a "/" with a single space on either side to separate it from the text.
By pressing the corresponding "+" button on the right you can edit the
"extended track data" for this track. This field is intended to be used as a
place for interesting information related to the track, such as the author
and other credits, or lyrics. There can be a unlimited number of lines text in
this field.
