Re: [personalbrain] introduction

Well, that is very good news. It is my exactly what I want to do aswell, sort my
music.

What I cannot figure out is the following - and may be this is where I
understand PB not at all:

I will create a brain music with the top level thougths 'piece', 'composer',
'genre', 'location'. With time proceeding I will have hundreds of children to
'composer' (thounsend of 'actors') - so my screen will be full with unreadable
text...

And how do I do mass-editing? How can I create a jump for 20 'compose' to the
'genre: blues'?

>Do you mean you already have standard database that you want to import,
>or would you start from scratch?

I would sort of enter the data in a personal database - maybe even a spreadsheet
- it is a very simple db-model after all - and hopefully get them somehow into
PersonalBrain. If I have to drag&draw all the relations for each movie/piece,
I'll be dead and gone before I'll finish...

Also, I am considering the possibility, that this is not the way to use PB?

Thanks very much :D

What's the problem? I have just such a database,which indexes my DVD and
music collection.
Do you mean you already have standard database that you want to import,
or would you start from scratch?

... You could subdivide as needed, say by initial letter. Chances are when you use the brain, you will simply search the composer's name, or navigate to him...
