#REDIRECT [[Tag Mapping]]
 
== Standard Tags ==
 
The following tables just map tags in one format/standard to another. Each format may have limitations, like not being able to handle UTF8 for example, or limitations as to the length of the content of a tag, some might have a non-textual tag like ID3v1 has for the Genre tag. These format limitations may or may not be mentioned on this page, so please keep that in mind.
If you see a question mark inside the tables then that just means somebody haven't filled/researched anything about that part yet, if you see n/a in the table that means this tag does not exist and will most likely never exist for that format/standard (mostly this applies to ID3 v1 and v1.1). The grouping of the tags may also change from time to time as this page is improved.
 
=== Primary ===
 
These are the core meta-tags and supported/defined in all major tagging standards or file formats one way or another.

These meta-tags provide information that a user or software may expect. Not all formats or software may support these tags though.

=== Tertiary ===
 
These meta-tags while considered standard may have uneven support across various software or formats. They should otherwise be rather well specified though.

=== Quaternary ===
 
These meta-tags are the more rare ones. They may also be ambiguous on how the content of a tag is to be treated/parsed. Some of these may have been proprietary at some point in the past. While others may be falling into obscurity.

== Non-standard Tags ==
 
=== Proprietary ===
 
These meta-tags are used in proprietary software, and is rarely of use outside that particular software.

=== Proposed ===
 
These meta-tags are suggestions for new standards, some of these may also have previously been experimental or proprietary in nature. While they may be proposed this does not guarantee they will become standard. It just means that someone (and hopefully more than one individual) would like to see it standardized. Any tags listed here should be properly documented someplace and specified in detail.

=== Experimental ===
 
These meta-tags are experimental in nature and should not be encountered normally, but in case they are they are listed here for completeness sake. These tags may appear and vanish at any time or may have their meaning or use changed at any time.

<ref name=TDRC>The ID3 v2.3 tags TYER & TDAT & TIME & TRDA are replaced by TDRC in ID3 v2.4, see [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ID3#ID3v2_Frame_Specification_.28Version_2.4_.E2.80.93_delta_respect_to_2.3.29 ID3] Wikipedia article for more.</ref>
<ref name=ID3v1Genre>The ID3 v1 and v1.1 Genre tag is a number referencing a pre-defined list, this brings it own huge genre mapping issue that is not covered in this Wiki page.</ref>
<ref name=Track>Some Track meta tags may have both the current track and total tracks stored, using a / to separate the two values. While others do not.</ref>
<ref name=ID3v1>Difference between ID3 v1 and v1.1 is the addition of Album track, see [http://id3.org/ID3v1 ID3v1] specs for more.</ref>
<ref name=Matroska>In Matroska it matters where the tags are used. So a ReplayGain tag for Track and Album are named the same just as an example.</ref>
<ref name=ID3v2.4>Some tags are only in ID3 v2.4 and there exists no equivalent in ID3 v2.3.</ref>
<ref name=TXXX>Tags that start with TXXX= in the tables above means that the actual tag is stored inside a TXXX tag.
