A user asked about DVD-A and MLP files. Thought I'd share a few pointers about ripping/handling/playing.
Now, for my question:
I'm wondering if anyone has any suggestions for keeping multichannel music separate from stereo music in one's music library. I like to set up my collection such that I use the Artist view in a wall format (Aeon MQ3), and clicking on any artist thumb will bring up thumbs by album. What I'd ideally like to do is to set up a music 'set', entitled "multichannel music" or the like. From what I've found, this option only works for movies at the moment.
The only alternative I can think of is to make my multichannel music have a uniform artist metadata field. If I made all my multi content have artist metadata of "multichannel", i could keep them separate from the stereo stuff, and sort by album within this makeshift artist category.
I'd rather not have to do that, though, as it's a workaround/compromise, and my OCD tendencies will come forth and wreak havoc over time (e.g. if I want to access them with another application down the road, the metadata won't make sense and will look dumb).
Does anyone have any solutions, less-invasive-workarounds, etc to this issue?
I am doing the same thing, but instead of changing the artist I am using "multichannel" tag in the "Genre" field, given that the collection is small (compare to stereo) this suits me.
