This document shell give a short guideline for recommended tags
|
|
for use in MPD's Sticker Database.
|
|
MPD's Sticker Database is a subsystem that enables users to add
|
|
custom tags. MPD does not alter the media files.

Since there is no standard for tags in media files, this
|
|
document is trying to give you some help deciding what tags to
|
|
use. The selection of these tags tries to cover the most
|
|
widely used tags. This way the tags might still work in other
|
|
players, if you sync the database with your original media
|
|
files.
|
|
Keep in mind that we stick with lower case tags with underscores
|
|
instead of spaces. If there will be a Sync tool in future
|
|
its easy to change this on the fly, if needed.

This tag is used to keep the Genre tag clean, by now
|
|
having 1000's of genres. Instead you define a Main Genre
|
|
for each file and can make a more specific
|
|
description. This should be one Keyword like "Post Punk"
|
|
or "Progressive Death Metal" An Alternative name for this
|
|
tag is "Subgenre", time will tell which one gets more
|
|
support.

This tag enables a last.fm alike aproach which will still

work when being offline Keep in mind, that this tag is
|
|
absolutely non-standard! I am not aware of any other
|
|
player that uses a comparable tag.
