I would imagine, unfortunately, that we don't have access to the master from which the individual cuts of an episode are created.

My guess is that in cases where the TS includes material not present in the UK broadcast, the original raw studio recording was used to create both versions.  I also assume that recording is a lot longer than 30 minutes.

Might I suggest we include some tags in the filenames to indicate the source.  Something like:

[UK] - Original UK airing
[TS] - Transcription service
[TA] - Transcription service airing that's known to contain additional material not in the BBC version.
[CD] - CD source
[EX] - Extended edition (our own edits)
[EB] - Extended broadcast edition (if the BBC ever air a longer cut for any reason)
[WS] - World Service edition (probably matches the UK edition but useful to keep the source known)
[RR] - BBC rerun that's known to be shorter than the original airing (don't know if any of these exists, but useful to plan for them.
[ED] - Version that's edited for some other reason.  (Edits that don't fit into above categories).

It's a lot of tags, but it should cover all eventualities...

Maybe I'm over-complicating things.  I open it to the group for your thoughts.  :)

Hi all. I'm starting to wonder if I may need to relabel episodes with ALL of the rounds in the name to make it easier to determine if they have had rounds added or removed...  but I don't fancy doing that.

Another option is to use MP3 tags to store round information, but those tags are harder to access and AFAIK impossible to search by...

And does anyone know which versions of recordings they use for CD issues.  Is there such a thing as a "mastercopy" from which TS/WS/normal radio broadcasts etc are adapted? Could a CD release be missing rounds?

Mark - Based on my review of the "Just a Classic Minute" and "Classic CF, DN etc" CD episodes it appears to me that they generally use the UK broadcast version where they have it, failing that the TS (perhaps "recovered" from ABC RN ?) version.

However, I've noticed that the CDs appear to include 3 episodes which are 3 or 4 minutes shorter than their BBC7 broadcasts! I assume the BBC7 versions to be the UK original broadcasts and the CD versions to be different edits - but whether they are TS versions or simply censored for PC I don't know since I haven't yet found the time to compare them.
