Tag Mapping
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.
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.
