Re: Re: New Feature

Unless you can obtain "correct" tags automatically, you're still stuck 
creating and entering them manually, no? I don't have anywhere near the 
number of files that you have, although I have lots of CDs, mostly 
because it takes so long to ensure that the tags will be both correct 
and use a consistent naming scheme.

Where do you get the metadata that you've been using for tags, and what 
sort of "correcting" do you need to do?

There is an important asymmetry between hope, which leads to actions 
that will test its basis, and fear, which leads to restriction of 
options frequently preventing any attempt at testing. As we know only 
too well, many of our hopes do not survive their tests. However, fears 
accumulate untested. Our inventory of untested fears has always made 
humanity disastrously vulnerable to thought control.
