This document will <b>not</b> deal with approaches to tagging, except where certain approaches to tagging are required to make mapping work.
Issues:
 
Due to the re-purposing of ID3v2's TPE2 as Album Artist, we have no field to store the name of the Orchestra, yet we have a dedicated field for the Conductor.
 
Author / Writer / Lyricist clash through ID3v2 (worse if artist=author or title=author!)
 
Performers vs involved people vs musicians. All musicians are involved people; not all involved people are necessarily musicians!
 
Dates - some are specific (recorded/released/tagged) others are just a non-specific date.

Introduction

This page is under construction. Please do not rely on the content being accurate or trustworthy.

This page attempts to document a useful mapping between the tagging schemes used on various file formats. The aim is to allow tag data (metadata) to be transferred between file formats without information loss.

It is organized into categories of data, and within each category the ordering is roughly as follows:

1. tags that apply to a wider range of data (e.g. a whole CD) come before tags that apply to a narrower range of data (e.g. one track).

2. tags are sorted alphabetically where this is relevant.

3. tags that are more widely supported come before tags that are less widely supported.

4. tags that fall into smaller unnamed sub-categories are grouped together.

5. tags that appear very similar but which have not yet been mapped are listed next to each other.

This document will not deal with approaches to tagging, except where certain approaches to tagging are required to make mapping work.

Additional Information

Issues

Due to the re-purposing of ID3v2's TPE2 as Album Artist, we have no field to store the name of the Orchestra, yet we have a dedicated field for the Conductor.

Author / Writer / Lyricist clash through ID3v2 (worse if artist=author or title=author!)

Performers vs involved people vs musicians. All musicians are involved people; not all involved people are necessarily musicians!

Dates - some are specific (recorded/released/tagged) others are just a non-specific date.
