Sooloos Collections: Advanced Guide
Album Detail
The examplee above illustrates the usefulness of the Album Detail page.
On the right
we have a complete list of Albums by the same Artist. In thiss case the Artist means the t ‘Album
Artist’ who appears at the top of thiss screen.
When setting up a Library it is worth
getting to know this feature before deciding exactly if/how to groom
the metadata. In the above we can see s that Leonard Bernstein is the ‘Artist’, in this case the collector
obviously prefers ‘Conductor’ (or in this t case possibly also ‘Composer’). Doing D so shows us a full list of other
Albums where Bernsteinn is the conductor. However some collectors mayy prefer to distinguish between him
conducting the New York
Philharmonic (as here) by editing the Album Artist to, e.g., ‘Bernstein / NYPO’. If
we did this then there would be more granularity in the By This Artist section.
A more granular approach may also combine Soloist / Conductor / Orchestra, e.g. Uchida / Tate /ECO. On
the other hand some might prefer to
organise the concerto Genre hierarchically as Soloist, if nott Conductor,
else Orchestra (so in the
earlier example: ‘Mitsuko Uchida’ only in the Artist position).
Editing Album Artist will have no impact on the metadata in Credits where each person will be separately
represented by role and vice-versa.
