This was a pain in the ass!!
Maybe you like tagging files...
Thanks for the info anyway,
Sorry, maybe you just didn't get the hang of the software yet. It really is easy.
Just renumbering the files in file names and tags, adding the proper album names, artwork etc. is a nuisance.
CTTOI, I could probably have gotten the tool to recognize the albums and do the tagging. Oh well...
Agree wholeheartedly...tagging is a pain. I've got a pretty good workflow at this point on my Mac using a combo of Max, xACT and XLD (and one AppleScript to send metadata from iTunes to Max when I like the iTunes metadata better than what Max gives me from Musicbrainz) all of which are free to use/donationware. xACT in particular is super useful as it allows you to tag a whole bunch of FLACs at once from a .txt file or list of tracks copied to the clipboard. Still, none of the existing tools make it super easy to address this particular case of multiple albums compiled and stretched across several discs when you would then want to tag BACK into their original source album (same issue with National Health 'Complete' though less work being only 3 source albums). One of burdens of progdom I suppose
Daily jazz vinyl reviews on Instagram @jazzandcoffee
Heh, heh! The one thing that sucks about getting old is that I can no longer read the notes on any CDs. Anyway, I was surprised to get a copy of Nuclear Burn in the mail today. I ordered it weeks ago. Disc one sounds really good!
^^I agree. Just got mine in the mail and disc 1 sounds very good. I haven't had a chance to compare it to my other discs, but so far I'm liking it.
The info in the booklet is actually arranged pretty nicely. They actually took into account the type color and the background color and adjust as needed.
just got this enjoying it a lot so far. i only had brand x on vinyl before so nice to have in the car and at work.
one complaint though is the lack of b-side pool room blues and genocide of the straights from the EP X-cerpts. not the most amazing tracks but seems like a good opportunity to include them for completeness sake.
i think this would have been perfect as a 5 disc set with those and is there anything about included. it also would have allowed them to make the sequencing a little more friendly (no one track of a album on another disc stuff)
oh well can't complain too much for the price.
Why, mp3's are a nuisance. They eat up their food supply in the forest, then migrate to our green belts and ravages our crops. The sooner they are exterminated, the better. It's a question of vinyl survival.
A reminder: BRAND X IS NOT BEING PAID FOR THIS RELEASE!

what is available that they are being paid for though?
i was very excited when it was announced they were going on tour again but i guess that isn't happening now (any info people?). would love to support the players but i don't think they have a official website or anything as far as i know.
I didn't want to go through life never having heard Brand X.
