Some metadata types (e.g., ID3, I haven’t researched others) support multiple tags of the same type. For example, I could place multiple genre or grouping (contentgroup) tags in the same song.
The problem is that most clients don’t process multiple tags but Firefly could offer a workaround to this if it supported it. I would like to create a smart playlist, for example, like the following.
grouping = "live" AND grouping = "acoustic"I have songs with these multiple tags but such a smart playlist doesn’t find any songs based on that criteria.
PLEASE, consider supporting this.
At the very least, I would like multiple tag support for the genre (sometimes songs are hard to categorize and/or are classified into multiple genres by different groups) and grouping tags.
I *have* to support it in some fashion anyway. All mine are tagged like:
Electronica/Trance
Synth/Synth Pop
With multiple tags. So yeah, I want to do this. It’s just that means a db reorg, and I’ve been resistant to start it as I know it’s a huge project. I’m almost done with the last huge project I had before that — abstracting file and socket access so I can have uris for things like tracks within iso images and stuff. (iso://path/to/file.iso/1, for example)
In any case, I expect to start work on it soon, although I’ve been expecting to start work on it soon for quite a while. 😉
The “top n”, and “order by” playlist enhancements drop out of that work, too.
