 Metadata
 --------
 
-When scanning or playing a song, :program:`MPD` parses its metadata. The following tags are supported:
-
-* **artist**: the artist name. Its meaning is not well-defined; see "*composer*" and "*performer*" for more specific tags.
-* **artistsort**: same as artist, but for sorting. This usually omits prefixes such as "The".
-* **album**: the album name.
-* **albumsort**: same as album, but for sorting.
-* **albumartist**: on multi-artist albums, this is the artist name which shall be used for the whole album. The exact meaning of this tag is not well-defined.

-* **title**: the song title.
-* **track**: the decimal track number within the album.
-* **name**: a name for this song. This is not the song title. The exact meaning of this tag is not well-defined. It is often used by badly configured internet radio stations with broken tags to squeeze both the artist name and the song title in one tag.
