DOSCab - Two questions

(1/3) > >>

GadgetGeek:
First question is really applicable to either DOSCab or WinCab.  I know you remove the "The" from artist name before performing alphabetization.  How would Eric Clapton be classified...under "E" for Eric or "C" for Clapton?  If I go to the record store to purchase one of his releases, I would look under C.  I'm guessing you'd have him under "E".  (I know, if I'd install it, I could see myself)

Second, any advice on getting networking to work on a DOS machine?  My target machine does not really like W98SE and it won't handle anything newer than that.  However, my music archive is on a different machine, and that is the way I'd like to keep it.

Thanks.  I expected as much on the artists and I've been ripping under that assumption.  And now that you've added CD skins, DOSCab is a viable option for me

Regarding the networking, I was unaware of the Ghost option so I'll look into that a bit.  I knew about mapping network drives.  I've actually spent a fair amount of time in a networked DOS environment in my younger days, I just didn't have to do the network setup at the time.  Guess its time to get my hands dirty again.

For the sorting "problem" you could use a mapping text file e.g.

Eric Clapton=Clapton, Eric
Suzanne Vega=Vega, Suzanne

that maps artist name in tag to artist name for sorting. Naturally it would be our responsibility to create and modify our own entries.

One for the wishlist . . .  . ?
