Genre tags

[erho]

A question about the zen mini. why is the genre tag written in lowercase when importing? Is there any specific reason for this? cd import for example "rock" and not "Rock"? Which spelling does innuos recommend? Also for Auto Import?

 

[Stephen Healy]

The will be how the tags are received either during the CD ripping progress, or simply how the tags were already applied on the file is using Auto Import.
Are you certain that music files that originally had 'Rock' fixed to them as a genre was then turned into 'rock' after going through Auto Import? If so then we will need to investigate this.

no. ‚rock‘ in lowercase only by ripping a cd and import it. with auto import the genre tag is that how the files were tagged. I mean if I rip a album and import it the tag is in lowercase written. if I use auto import there is no lowercase genre tag. I then get 2 different genre tags. ‚rock‘ and ‚Rock‘.

So it is only the CD ripper doing this - it's ultimately just coincidence in terms of how this metadata is supplied to us. The good news is that in the TAGS view of Sense, it is easy to merge tags, so you can simply add all 'rock' music to become 'Rock' instead.

yes exactly. I know of merging the tags, but was just wondering why the cd ripper use the lowercase for genre tag but all other tags are just normal written.

 

[Stephen Healy]

I don't think it is a set rule that Sense specifically chooses to user lowercase, it just so happens that the database we are pulling the metadata from, in the case of those CDs, appear to use lowercase.

 

[erho]

yes it seems so, which database is used by ripping CDs?
