This page describes a proposed update to the minimal list of standard field names in the Vorbis I specification. Please keep discussion confined to the Discussion page.
Analysis
To determine what field names are being used in the wild, the following resources were analysed:
- Reactor Core proposal
- Carnival of Technology proposal
- Proposals in the XiphWiki VorbisComment page
- OggImporter to Spotlight
- EasyTAG tagging program
- Mp3tag tagging program
The analysis has been presented as an Excel spreadsheet (note that it contains two sheets).
Proposal
The following modest list of additions to the minimal list in the specification is proposed:
COMPOSERTRACKTOTAL– compliments the existingTRACKNUMBERDISCNUMBER– used if part of a multi-disc albumDISCTOTAL– total number of discs in a multi-disc albumSOURCEMEDIA– recommended because different field names are in useENCODED-BY– see VorbisComment pageENCODER– see VorbisComment pageMETADATA_BLOCK_PICTURE– see VorbisComment page
The field name SOURCEMEDIA could be dropped is Xiph does not wish to prescribe field names.
The field name REMIXER is not proposed as its use is covered by the existing VERSION.
