It's annoying, but since I maintain all contents manually at least I can correct it. You may be asked to reboot your computer. If youre asked to remove unwanted software, click Remove. Click Reset and clean up Clean up computer. Occasionally I will still stumble on something in my library that is inconsistent. Chrome will remove the software, change some settings to default, and turn off extensions. Blah!įor me, I do have a set of rules for defining the contents, and it does take a lot of effort to maintain the consistency.

In fact, I think these are the happy folks, because they are not bothered by the inconsistency shown on their audio players, nor a search using "Herbert" will never give them "Karajan", or "Shostakovich" will never find "Schostakowitsch". Karajan", "Karajan", "von Karajan" or "The K man" in their library. I know people who don't mind seeing a mix of "Herbert von Karajan", "Herbert v. On the other hand, sharing tags and the tag contents from global databases will never be good enough, unless you are willing to live with the inconsistency.īut of course not everybody cares. Of course one will still need to be extremely disciplined when defining the contents in order to stay consistent. It might just be the way the extension works. Then go to the extensions on chrome://extensions/ and remove it. Having said that, I think the concept of using tags is OK as long as the problem domain covers MY library and for MY own display/search purposes only. To find out which extension this is, hover over the icon on the upper right hand corner with the icon you pointed out. Therefore when these folks upload their tags based on their own rules, even assuming they all use the "correct" tags to store the contents, you will still see inconsistencies in the contents. And if this set of rules is shown to ten persons, most likely all ten will disagree on some parts of the rules. Petersburg Philharmonic Orchestra" or "Leningrad Philharmonic Orchestra"? Need another rule for using different names to refer to the same orchestra depending on, um, the recording date? Or just use the latest name? Whatever the choice, there will always be more rules to deal with new situations.Įventually one may end up with a complex set of rules. OK, how about "New York Philharmonic Orchestra" or "New York Philharmonic"? Same language you see!Īnother one. One may then end up defining a rule like - if the orchestra's regional language uses Roman letters then use the regional language, e.g. Use your native language? If so what about "Les Siècles" (unless French is your native language)? Use the orchestra's regional language? Then what about a Russian orchestra or a Japanese orchestra? E.g.ĭo you enter into a PERFORMER or whatever tag "Berliner Philharmoniker" or "Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra"? The content itself does not have the "uniqueness" characteristic to ensure consistency. I particularly don't think tags will work from a content point of view. Leaving aside the question of which tags to use. apart from not having a widely accepted standard for classical music, as long as human beings are involved, which tags to use and the contents of tags will never be consistent.
