the column browser is a great way to find what I want and play only that. Every now and then I’ll do some fixing, such as moving composer from an album title to the composer field, but as I get older, I don’t care as much–time flits by too fast, and it’s uncommon to not be able to find something fairly quickly.Īs long as iTunes or Music can recognize that an album is an album.

Then I subscribed to emusic and had to throw in the towel. Eventually it got too time consuming to keep up even with the album schema so my database never got converted to a track based system. With such a flawed underpinning and so much momentum, there’s no leewayįor many years (late 80s up), I did my own metadata in Filemaker, but it was by album, not tracks.

Umpteen thousand ‘genres’ for modern western pop music, and one Knew very little about music, databases, or cataloguing. AlbumsĪre presented in the UI (pretty much) as just predefinedĪ big part of the problem isn’t Apple’s fault.
There is no “album” object in the system at all.
