That's not the case. I was just correcting some misstatements re: vorbis comments. -- -:-:- David K. Gasaway -:-:- Email: dave@gasaway.org -:-:- Web : dave.gasaway.org

I've started a wiki page to collect ideas and discuss this: http://wiki.xiph.org/index.php/VorbisComment cheers, Conrad.
Piggybacking on this message: perhaps an IRC meet would be in order at some point. The next Xiph meet would be scheduled at 0600 UTC 3rd October, but perhaps an earlier one would be useful if there's enough going on now to put together an agenda? -- imalone

See the new RIGHTS field name; dropping LICENSE and COPYRIGHT) for instance. By the way, here is a proposal I did not add on the page. I would like to discuss it here first. What's up with the naming for these formats anyways!? Vorbis is a codec. FLAC is a codec. Both used Vorbis comments. Is that not a little confusing? One could assume Vorbis comments were something related to the Vorbis codec only. It should be called.... Media Comments. Or something. (Again, I am just as terrible with naming.) (See. I am not all ?let's kill Vorbis comments and make something new and shiny!? Well, maybe I am.) -- Daniel Aleksandersen
