Documentation of MP3-Collection Bernd Richter Any comments / suggestions welcome bernd.richter@web.de http://www.vorticity.de/mp3/class_alpha.txt http://www.vorticity.de/mp3/class_other.txt http://www.vorticity.de/mp3/rock.txt http://www.vorticity.de/mp3/!README!.txt http://www.vorticity.de/mp3/!LIESMICH!.txt http://www.vorticity.de/mp3/abbreviation.txt The goal of this archive is to have all mp3-files in a file-system offering the specific features and advantages of a databank (like search and sort). Especially the selection of files with specific keywords (composer, transcriptions, instruments, artists, nationality and many others) is comfortable – using appropriate programs like: TotalCommander File-Manager with EXTENSIVE features/options 1by1 mp3-Player with EXTENSIVE features/options Mp3tag mp3 Tag-Editor with EXTENSIVE features/options The specific features and options of these programs have been used to a wide extent. Using the Windows File-Manager or Winamp would by far not offer all the features available in these programs ! The main feature of this mp3 file-system is the structure of its file- and subdirectory names. They follow a specific guideline which should be followed strictly. NOT A SINGLE CHARACTER OF FILE-/SUBDIR-NAMES SHOULD BE CHANGED ! >> TRICK Elements of subdir-/file-names are ‘_’-delimited and not blank-delimited to make them usable in any other operating system. Searching for ‘ ‘ (blank) over the whole file-system will not give a single hit. >> UPPER-CASE / lower-case letters govern the key c-d-e-f-g-a-h denotes c-d-e-f-g-a-h minor flat/sharp in German C-D-E-F-G-A-H denotes C-D-E-F-G-A-H MAJOR flat/sharp in German >> Strict Use of official abbreviations for instruments, see below sometimes logically extended (e.g. c-orch for chamber-orchestra, p-lhnd for piano for the left hand, all listed in abbreviation.txt) >> Strict order for file-/subdir-naming Sequence of elements in mp3-filenames Composer opus-No. opus-name key movement-number Movement-name Mendelssohn op113 Konzertstück (cl,hn,orch) 1 f instead of Mendelssohn Konzertstück for clarinet, horn and orchestra f-minor opus 113 Rossini Quartett tsc(fl,cl,hn,bso) 1 F instead of Rossini Quartett 1 transcribed for flute, clarinet, horn bassoon in F Major >> TRICK: Also mp3-filenames start with the composer’s name. Otherwise the use of one movement only in a playlist or so could not be assigned to the composer >> TRAP: If no opus-numbers have been assigned to the opera of a composer, the composing year has been used instead (high internet search effort !). In mixed assignment (e.g. Carl Maria von Weber) the opus numbers have been used when available, next position in the filename is the composing year. Specific opus catalogues have been used whenever possible: Bach BWV, Bartók Sz, Debussy L, Haydn Hoboken, Liszt S Searle, Mozart KV Köchel etc. >>TRICK: Use leading “0” Zeros for sorting reasons, e.g. BWV0078 >>TRAP: Some exceptions are used for reasons of clarity - Haydn Sinfonie 001 Paukenschlag - Haydn Streichquartett 17 Op03-5 F Serenaden-Quartett KODAQ to have all string-quartets or symphonies in sequence >> TRAP: When a period (1864-1869) is given as composing date of an opus, the year when completed is used. THE SUBDIR-STRUCTURE AS FOLLOWS SHOULD BE FOLLOWED STRICTLY ! DIR CLASS DIR ALPHA DIR_composername__firstname_1800-1900_100_ISO_ DIR_composer_opus-No_opusname_conductor_ORCHA MP3_composer_opus-no_opus_mvmt-no_mvmt-name MP3_composer_opus-no_opus_mvmt-no_mvmt-name MP3_composer_opus-no_opus_mvmt-no_mvmt-name _ISO_ 3-letter-ISO-countycode like AUS=Australia Double ”__” between composername and firstname is important for sorting ORCHA = 5-letter-code assigned to each orchestra and is listed in file abbreviation.txt. ASMIF = Academy of St.Martin in the Fields >>TRAP Sometimes additional subdirs like -~Sinfonien have been used for reasons of clarity. String “_-~” is important for sorting reasons. >> Artist names are given in the directory-/file-name whenever available. >> TRAP Some artist name may be available in the mp3-tag only >> TRICK Artist-name of mp3-file separated by ‘_’, in subdir-name by `___’ Reason: Sorting and Column alignment in directory list Example Dunhill_op03_Quintett_(vn,vc,cl,hn,p)_Es___ENDYM Dunhill_op03_Quintett_(vn,vc,cl,hn,p)_Es_1_Allegro Dunhill_op03_Quintett_(vn,vc,cl,hn,p)_Es_2_Allegretto Dunhill_op03_Quintett_(vn,vc,cl,hn,p)_Es_1_Prestissimo The use of ‘___’ and ‘_’ alignes the columns of ‘ENDYM’ and ‘Allegro’ =============================================================================== 1by1 Mp3-Player 1by1 is a very compact yet very comfortable directory-browser-like mp3-player. Although the operation is menu-driven and self-explanatory, the following hotkeys are very helpful for quick and ease operation: A very nice feature of 1by1 is the definition of a playlist. A playlist is a file with extension .m3u with pure ASCII-text: The full path- and file-name except of the Drive-letter (because that can vary each time you connect your hard-drive). Playlists are very powerful because they can be selected on sophisticated search string (e.g. Search ‘cantabile’ but ignore ‘Allegro’). Of course changing a single character in the path-/file-name makes a playlist void. You have the option to re-define it with current path-/file-name, but the easiest way is: NEVER CHANGE ANY CHARACTER IN THE PATH- / FILE-NAME ! F3 Search for string over file-system Searching ALPHA and OTHER, start at CLASS Use search-string like given below Create playlist from search-result by Ctrl-A to mark all (or select) titles Right mouse button Create new playlist Append to playlist F4 Toggle left directory-window on/off Shift-F4 Change file-size to mm:ss indication Shift-F5 Toggle second window on top for playlist-preselection Drag-and-drop files into the secondary window F6 Open Main-Manu for settings F7 Toggle between full-size and compact-dize Ctrl-B Toggle additional window below for mp3-tag annunciation Tabulator Toggles through the 1by1 windows Ctrl-N very tricky: Screen-option Play title in sequence starting at position X percent for Y seconds (X and Y selectable). >> TIP When the Ctrl-B window is open, a picture named cover.jpg will be shown as thumbnail. Double-click it and it is shown in full-screen mode. Specification of Search-strings Appropriate search-string allow very effective selection of mp3-files: You want to select Turkish music and search for ‘TUR’. Good idea, but you will also find lots of Ouvertures, Khachaturian, two pictures of Bartok etx. ‘_TUR‘ reduces the hits, but you will find Capriccio alla turca (at least turca), Messiaen Turangalila by Messiaen and Turandot. Only the search-string ‘_TUR_’ will result in Turkish music. This is the reason, why the 3-letter-ISO-country-code has been added to each composer ! Other recommended search-strings are: _CcC_ Composer conducts Composer _MS_ Mannheimer Schule _FWS_ Frühe Wiener Schule _NWS_ Neue Wiener Schule _Six_ Groupe des Six _M5_ Maechtige Fuenf (Gruppe russischer Komponisten) _WS_ Wiener Schule Tempi Lento…Presto Cantabile Composers Soloists Conductors Orchestras (with their 5-letter code (e.g. LONSO, BOSSO, BERPO) Genre (Sinfonie, Klavierkonzert, Cellokonzert, Klarinettenkonzert) Instruments (cl,vn,vc,db,dr,bso,sx…) Transcriptions (tsc( The search covers all sub-dirs below and should therefore start at \CLASS *adagio* '*' is for ‘any string‘ *mar* finds Marsch, marche, marcia – but also Margareta *(*cl*)* search 'cl' as clarinet in 'Konzert (cl)', but not 'Claude Debussy' Only 'cl' in '(...)' is searched like 'Konzert (cl)' *tsc(* search transcriptions *Adagio* search Adagio *Gabetta* search music of Sol Gabetta (vc) *D911* search all versions of Franz Schubert D911 Winterreise *_NLD_* search all compositions of Dutch composers All searching results can easily be transferred into a playlist (right mouse-click, create or append to playlist). The sub-dir \CLASS\PLAYLIST\ is recommended because it and easily be reached without browsing the directory tree. ================================================================ MP3-Tag-Editor Mp3tag Instead of explaining this powerful editor, some remarks only MP3 tags have not been invented for classical music. The tag 'composer' does not exist, at least not in the standard set. Instead the tag 'Artist' is often misused for the composer. I handle it the following way: The tag 'Artist' lists the artist, composer, orchestra etc. The tag 'Album' lists the full opus description with composer opus-no opus-title As mentioned above, the filenames are '_'-separated. This does not look very nice in tags - therefore, before editing the tags, in all filenames the '_' is replaced by ' '. After tag editing the ' ' is again replaced by '_' just for the sake of beauty... ================================================================ List of professional abbreviations (subject to amendment) M5 -1 Mächtige Fünf - Mighty Five - Moguchaia kuchka M5 -2 Balakirev, Borodin, Cui, Mussorgsky, Rimsky-Korsakov MS Mannheimer Schule Six Groupe de Six:
