Fontgoddess has posted <\/a>twice<\/a> on her affection for metadata, providing examples of how others, even librarians<\/a>, are tagging their files.<\/p>\n

I started out tagging with the quiet and devout rigour of a monk gilding the dome of the basillica, but I eventually gave up with the genre field of id3 because it felt dishonest to tag entire albums according to a single genre style, and I was too lazy to tag different genres to individual tracks in an album. But isn’t that what it comes down to, laziness? Not in the seven mortal sins concept of laziness, but more so in finding the balance between the strict control of information and the freedom of the music to wander into one’s listening queue like a free-radical crying “Serendipity!”<\/p>\n

All Music Guide<\/a> does a nice job of identifying genres and flavors and styles of music, and I value the meaningful typology of genre classifications as useful and more than academic. However, for now I’m keeping my musical associations in my head and not in my tag, and using (the free and open source) Albumlist<\/a> to listen to and shuffle my mp3s by album<\/strong> whilst listening through Winamp. It’s enough (and actually necessary) for so many of my music files to remain associated with their respective (concept) albums when I listen to them.<\/p>\n

mp3s may have liberated individual single tracks from their Albums, even leading some people to question whether Albums are now a quaint anachronism, and while this may be true for some short and sweet pop tracks, so many progressive, classical, and electronic pieces are lost without the provenance of their album. The whole, in these cases, is greater than the individual track, and that’s what makes Albumlist and plug-ins like it (are there any others like it?) so useful.<\/p>\n

Below, an image of LuigiHann’s Adventure for Atari 2600<\/a> skin for winamp, with the Albumlist<\/a> and Cover&TAG<\/a> plugins.<\/p>\n
