![]() You said that I can use a GRP1 field – meaning I should be able to use MP3Tag to populate this tag in ID3, which I can to for hundreds or more files at a time in seconds, and then when I import the files to iTunes I should see the entries in the GROUPING field in iTunes. MANUALLY adding the Grouping field is IMPOSSIBLE for thousands of tracks. Shuffling Songs is NOT what I want, and shuffling Albums can be too large – some of my albums are “Complete Works” and are 80 discs or more!! So I shuffle by Grouping – in this case it shuffles by disc! Now, iTunes has screwed this up. The reason for this is that the ONLY options for Shuffle/Random are Songs, Albums, or Groupings. I do this to add a unique GROUPING to each actual disc. When I rip a new CD or get a download, I used mp3tag (which can use formulas) to add a GROUPING by writing to the ID3 tag CONTENTGROUP. I use mp3tag to tag my thousands of classical music files. Note that this information should be available in the iTunes Store and on Apple Music in the future, so music you match, stream, or download should have better tags for classical music. Ideally, I’d see a way to click a disclosure triangle next to the first movement of a work to show a single line for that work and all its tracks, so you can manipulate it better, adding it to a playlist or Up Next, for example, or double-clicking it to play a work.īut this is real progress from Apple, which has long suggested that it wasn’t interested in classical music in iTunes. And there’s no way (yet) to link these movements together. In Playlist view, since the artists’ names are long, you don’t see any of this information. This is a huge improvement, though it’s not perfect. ![]() Here’s an example of how this can look in Songs view: You can enter the work name, and the movement number (n of n), as well as the movement name. To edit these tags, select a track, and then click the Song Name text the two little arrows are a hint that this is actually a popup menu. As you can see at the left, the Other section of the View Options window lets you choose to display these tags. In the latest beta of iTunes 12.5, which is part of the beta of macOS Sierra, Apple has added some new tags: Work and Movement. While it does have a Grouping tag, which the iTunes Store uses for that purpose, iTunes itself doesn’t allow you to display music efficiently with that tag. It holds “songs,” not tracks, and doesn’t have the concept of a “work,” a multi-movement piece of music. Twosetviolin, with their hilarious sense of humour, their education, their frequent video posting, their wholesomeness, have easily become one of my favourite YouTube channels ever.Classical music fans have long complained about iTunes, and the way it organizes music that just doesn’t work well with classical music. I finally decided that because of this huge impact Twoset has had on my life, I decided that if I wanted anything for my birthday, it would be their merch. I got into watching concert performances - I seriously recommend watching them, not only is his playing amazing and super expressive, his expressions and his eyebrows are so hilarious to watch, and also compliment his playing! Before I knew it, I now have almost all his albums, and spend time listening to them before bed, marvelling at his v i b r a t o, or his amazingly clear trills, or his broad, expressive rubato, or just how you can literally hear his eyebrows moving as he plays. Honestly, if I had a role model, he would be the guy. They lead me to Ray Chen, now my favourite violinist, and is also East-Asian. Their constant statements to practice also motivated me to practice my other two instruments, as well as my violin. They were what encouraged me to play my violin with more passion - if I hadn’t been watching them in the first place, I might have given up the violin by now. They are what boosted my already passionate love for classical music - now everytime I listen to a piece like Tchaikovsky’s violin Concerto, even if it’s the same recording by the same soloist (Ray Chen, always) it will always sound different from the way I interpret it or what element of the piece I choose to focus on. My first thoughts were, “hey, they have violin in their username! I play violin!” And, “oh my gosh, they’re East-Asian!” (As someone East-Asian, I’ve always been looking for people of the same/similar race to look up to, and not just white people who I’ve been shown up to now). I’ve been watching them for two years now, from the day YouTube recommended one of their videos to me. ![]() Technically I got this about a month before my birthday but I’m fine with that i can’t control when stuff’s delivered okay
