More Metadata? #134

Open hg2s opened 3 years ago

hg2s commented 3 years ago

Would it be possible to view other track metadata? For example, release date, composer, record label, barcode, catalog number, genre.

-Thank you

A couple questions that could help getting this feature right (one day):

hg2s commented 3 years ago
  • What format do you use to encode said metadata? (I assume ID3v2)

Yes, exactly. I'm thinking of ID3v2. I'm using Beets quite a bit where ID3v2.4 is the current default.

  • Do you usually look this up for songs you are currently listening to, or while browsing the collection looking for something to play?

A typical use case is browsing the collection looking for a specific recording to play or while building a playlist.

Since Polaris is so good at handling large collections I'm thinking it would be especially useful in musical archives, radio stations and libraries. To that end I imagine an Advanced Search option that offers various metadata as search fields.
