While we're talking about mythmusic database changes, I wonder whether it
would be possible to build in an alternate schema for classical
recordings. I've been fudging things by remapping Artist => Composer,
Album=>Title, Track=>Performers, but it would be more useful to have a few
extra columns (Conductor, Orchestra/Ensemble, Soloists; or possibly even an
extra joined table of Artists who could be matched as conductor, soloist,
ensemble member). It would also be useful either to offer "rip multiple
tracks to a single file" or "always play these tracks together, in
order." I've been joining tracks so symphonies don't get shuffled out of
order. (Still haven't figured out why extra-long tracks kill mythfrontend.)
There are currently about zero digital music players that support classical
music well, but if this would fit in, I'd be willing to give it a shot.
Thanks.
