Ripping CDs to Hard Drive and Live Recordings

To differentiate If you have both studio and live versions of a given song in your library?

jbs is right -- metadata is not standardized.  And its been that way going as far back as I can remember, into the days of what could find on a LP label or album cover.  You would find incorrect song titles or times, and sometimes even in the wrong order.  One gets the feeling that the job was always assigned to the lowest level employee available. 

However, regarding the (live) label, I can see many people thinking it is important to differentiate between the live and studio versions of a song. Like jbs, I often edit my metadata on my personal collection using MP3Tag so that it appears in the way most meaningful to me. 

Why don't you mo3tag 'em and get it just right?

I don't like any pre made tags 

Don't even try classical.

I agree - that stuff CAN be annoying. I often have to go into iTunes and rename album or song titles, or artists's names...
