I’ve recently completed another marathon, parsing through all the MUSICIANS letter folders in the High Voltage collection. I’ve added a bunch of new tags for thousands and thousands of tunes. Needless to say, it took several weeks (if not months) to get through and I got myself a severe case of mouse arm. Turns out using the middle mouse button so much is bad for a nerd of my age.
But I got through it and I guess it’s time to talk about what I did.
The biggest and most important reason to go through all those SID tunes again was to add events and link them to productions. The production would be what the SID tune was meant to be used for. It could be a demo, an intro, a game, a tool, even as part of a music competition – a lot of things. Some of these productions were released at an event, which would typically be a computer party.
I also wanted to connect the two tag types with a new bracket line between them. This would indicate that the production was released at that event, and that’s what the SID file was made for.
