Alternative tagging for classical releases

Open gorgobacka opened this issue 8 years ago • 3 comments

As mentioned here: https://github.com/JoeLametta/whipper/pull/156

"In MusicBrainz, classical releases have the composer as the Track artist and the performers as the Recording artist(s)."

Maybe introduce a switch for a non-default/alternative tagging that reflects this.

Hey @gorgobacka. There’s a pull request being worked on now at https://github.com/whipper-team/whipper/pull/444 but I’m not sure it actually does what you are asking about here.

Can you be more explicit in clarifying what you’d like a --classical option to do for you?

Sorry, I don't know much about tagging classical releases. But whenever, I touched that topic (Picard plugins, Musicbrainz Forum, ...) it seems that there are some different rules. Therefore, I thought, I might be a good idea to have that.

But I suggest, that it can be explicitly applied via a parameter (--classical sounds great) and does not apply the tagging based on some automatic detection.

If you do implement this at some point, please use something meaningful rather than "--classical", maybe even generalize towards a conditional tagging behaviour based on a certain rule, in this case, the MusicBrainz genre value.
