Carl: Tag in Seidel piece

Carl,

If you had the chance, maybe you could fix the ID2 tag in Dave Seidel's piece. Since you have the "artist" listed as Jon Smith, it comes up in the player like that, and if no one ever looked at the complete info tags, they wouldn't know it was actually a piece by Dave Seidel as _arranged_ by Jon. Maybe a "Dave & Jon" attribution or something.

Thanks for the collation. I have a question on mp3gain for you, but for another time....

Cheers,
Jon

Thanks, Jon, I hadn't noticed that.

- Dave

P.S. "Do Something" was one of my favorite MMMDay pieces. I love the piano/percussion combination, as well as the Partch words. Hope there's more like that on the way!

Thanks, but I have bad news: there are no more thoughts in my head. I have run out of music... :) Seriously, I've got to write back on-list about the various (kind) comments, it has just been a sketchy coupla days. But the whole MMMDay deal really stoked me, not least your contribution.

Cheers,
Jon

The ID3 v1 tag is Dave for composer, the ID3 v2 tag is Dave for
composer and JL as performer. I think this is the best way to
represent the information with the tags. Of course, this depends
on what scheme you're using, in your head & in your player.
Players implement different schemes as far as what to report
where about these tags.

I understand your logic. However, I'm asking for pragmatic rather than dogmatic strategies: with every other piece in your collection, you see the title of the piece, as well as the composer. The fact that you would be putting a composer's name in a performer's tag seems less important than making clear - as all the other files do - who wrote the thing. I'm not saying you or anyone else should do it this way at other times, but with the MMM Day collection it would be nice to see the credit go to the composer, Dave.

Cheers,
Jon
