Metatag Mapping

From Hydrogenaudio Knowledgebase
Revision as of 20:29, 13 August 2013 by Rescator (talk | contribs)

The following tables just map tags in one format 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.

The words metadata/tag/field may be used intermittently on this page to mean the same thing. This page is also far from complete and may never be.
