God help me, including the word "database" in a phrase that includes "live at leeds."
Yesterday I recorded to my harddrive, using Real Audio, the Who's eminent album Live at Leeds.
I just went to play it and found that Real Audio re-numbered the second disc during the recording process, that is disc 1 and disc 2 are both numbered 1 through whatever, so Real Audio is mixing in the non-Tommy songs with the Tommy songs. Since I wanted to hear just the Tommy songs, this just would not do.
So what did I do? I clicked on song number, to order the songs by number, thinking that would somehow work. It didn't.
But then I noticed there was a song rating category. You click on stars to signify how much you like, or don't like, the songs. I rated all the songs on side 2 (the Tommy side) with one star (tho they're probably worth four or five--i was lazy). Then I clicked on song rating at the top, ordering the songs by rating. I now had all the songs from the Tommy side lined up in order.
I am now enjoying the digital fruits of my database solution, listening to the who do their rock-opera Tommy, live at leeds.
"Tommy can you hear me..."
