@matigo But they'd be so much easier for drones to deliver. And cover art is unimportant anyway, unless it's got some sort of hidden message. The only thing I use the liner for is making up for CDDB's awful metadata when it comes to classical music and rare(r) recordings.
@matigo Yeah, but ripping never happens at 48x. I don't get people still use them to distribute music — surely microSD cards would take up far less shelf space…
Doesn't matter how fast the reader is — CDs will always be just as slow.
Of course people download music, legally or otherwise…
@matigo This is what confuses me:
I have so many thousands of classical tracks, I need to expand my library a bit…
…all the while continuing to expand my classical library, particularly with regards to informed baroque recordings and keyboard works.
@kdfrawg I assure you that there is. Extended metadata, accessible through the likes of Audirvana, also allows for Ensemble, Conductor, Soloist, Instrument, Style, and Period fields. // @matigo
@matigo Indeed. The other one no one gets right is accented characters. Cannot stand this…
@matigo Yep. And the ones that are on there are often so badly formatted, and with such wrongly mapped fields, that they make me sick. How hard is it to realise that a composer born in the 1600s could not possibly also have been the artist to record that work?
