Re: What Info Do You Want In JAM Labels?

I like distinctive delimiters to allow automators like batch renamers to easily find segments of names.  e.g. Just A Minute #175 = WHAT I CAME HERE TO SAY (other info) [more info]
The = and (parentheses) and [square brackets] can be used as segment markers.

O, and for those who have no batch renamer, may I suggest Lupus Rename (http://rename.lupasfreeware.org).  It's the bee's knees in spite of its age.  It lets you do some really powerful renaming.


BTW - does anyone else press imaginary buzzers and quietly think 'Repetition!' when listening to people in The Real World?  Or is just me?

Subject: [just-a-minute] What Info Do You Want In JAM Labels?

I am working towards tidying up the labels of my JAM collection so I can post it for sharing on Mediafire.

I have been sharing JAM episodes to people for many years on WinMX, and I've seen that some of my original analogue cassette recordings from decades ago (I still have the many dozens of cassettes) have ended up in collections that are on offer from people even now, which is good as I always wanted people to enjoy the shows. (Of course, many of my original analogues have been replaced by better quality digital versions from the ABC in recent years.)

When I began sharing JAMs on WinMX years ago I devised a labeling system that I felt was quite efficient. Today it typically looks like this:
Just A Minute #175 (1974-11-04; s09e08) WHAT I CAME HERE TO SAY (rec. online by dal).mp3

My question now is whether this is what most people want. Considering the limitations of space, do you want the date? Do you care who has recorded it? Would you rather have the names of the speakers, or do these not matter either? Any other preferences?

I have thought to simplify the title label; for example:
Just A Minute #175 WHAT I CAME HERE TO SAY
and the guests, date, and other info would be in metatags instead, which can be read by many mp3 players today. Or would people like all the info out in plain sight? If so, which parts?

I'm interested in feedback about what most people actually want. Thanks.
