Metadata Suggestions

[studley]

The addition of AMG Metadata tagging is wonderful.

1) Please consider adding a delimiter between multiple entries. I prefer a semi-colon. Perhaps you could allow the user to set the delimiter.

eg. Style is currently loaded as: [COLOR=Sienna]Adult Alternative Pop/RockAmericanaSinger/Songwriter[/COLOR]
Should be: [COLOR=DarkGreen]Adult Alternative Pop/Rock;Americana;Singer/Songwriter[/COLOR]

Composer is currently: [COLOR=Sienna]Michael DempseyLaurence Tolhurst[/COLOR]
Should be: [COLOR=DarkGreen]Michael Dempsey; Laurence Tolhurst[/COLOR]

2) Consider allowing the download of [COLOR=DarkGreen]Mood[/COLOR] (into TMOO), [COLOR=DarkGreen]Theme[/COLOR], [COLOR=DarkGreen]Type[/COLOR] (Compilation, Single, Live), and any other permissible data. If we are paying for it...

3) Consider allowing the addition of the Biography or Album Review to the Comment field (If this is included under your contract with them)

I only wish I had all this cool functionality when I started ripping my collection last year!

Thanks for your time and this awesome product.

Where are you looking at these (ie composer)? there is a deliminator of ; or at least should be.

Re: Metadata Suggestions

Thanks for getting back. In hex, I'm showing them seperated by a newline (0D). In mp3tag they run together. What are you using to look at the tags?

Thanks,

Re: Metadata Suggestions

Which audio format and which tagging are you using?

[studley]

Re: Metadata Suggestions

MP3 (lame) & ID3v2.4

Re: Metadata Suggestions

No version of dMC supports writing ID3v2.4. Are you sure these files, or at least these tags, were written by dMC?

[studley]

Re: Metadata Suggestions

apologies... ID3v2.3. mp3tag does 2.4 and I forgot that I had edited them further using mp3tag when I checked the version for spoon.
