” The Aria software comes with 18 metadata fields that you can use to describe your recordings; you can add as many other fields as you wish, or delete any you don’t need. Be aware that most CD-ripping programs and most download sites probably won’t automatically fill in these fields for you. The Aria’s ripping program does populate those fields as best it can, and it did a pretty good job. It has access to the AccurateRip database used by dBpoweramp, and the premium databases AMG, freedb, GD3, MusicBrainz, and SonataDB (Classical) — you’ll have a hard time finding a CD the Aria won’t recognize. You may recognize some of those databases as commercial, but worry not — the Aria comes with licenses for their use.

” A typical classical album can be characterized by the composer of the music, the names of the individual singers or instrumentalists, the name of the conductor, or the name of the ensemble. If the work is an opera or oratorio, you have the names of the vocal soloists — sometimes many, any of whom may be the item of chief interest to the listener, as may be the name of the choral group. You might also want to sort a collection by period: early music, renaissance, baroque, classical, romantic, modern — or by solo instrument: piano, violin, cello, etc. Vanishingly few server programs offer enough metadata fields to let you manage a classical collection. To a lesser extent, jazz recordings are also poorly served. The designers of the Aria’s library-management software have made a worthy effort to meet the needs of the serious classical collector.”
