...nts/relators/>. MARC (Library of Congress) relators are now part of Dublin Core, this allows refinements to meta-data like actor, composer, instrumentalist (of interest to kitchen sink metadata in Ogg/Vorbis). It still falls short of the more qualified relationships that might be available with Musicbrainz advanced relationships (eg guitarist etc), but I feel the Musicbrainz guidelines are still not perfectly documented. -- imalone

...hiving (obviously more affordable for the budget conscious public radio stations than Real). An important feature will be the abillity to search the metadata of the audio files. Is this functionality already available with b4? I've also research an open standard for meta data tagging called MusicBrainz and they mention specifically their "hopes" that their system will be adopted by vorbis. http://www.musicbrainz.org/MM/#intro Has this happened? -pjc ===== It is not how fast you go, but the path that you take. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

...oing this, with no clear solution emerging. So, here i am to offer my meager tools. http://diplodocus.org/projects/audio/ At first i used cdrdao to generate the cue sheets, as some others have talked about doing. However, it crashes on a number of my discs. I took the TOC-reading code from MusicBrainz and turned it into mkcue, which works on all the discs i've fed it. flac-archive now uses this to generate cue sheets. Also included is flac2mp3, which transcodes one of these single-file FLAC archives into one VBR MP3 per track. This means you can play FLAC files on your home equipment, and...

...articular album. An alternative is to add yet another new tag to say which album the track was taken from, but I don't think the solution is even more tags (although I admit that is the extent of my disagreement with this solution). Another alternative then is to use some CDDB or Songprint/Musicbrainz entry to identify the song. I object to CDDB being in the tags because a CDDB entry is a computer-id and not a human id. That's what we will have the structured metadata (which has yet to be designed) for - computer data, non-human type data (among other things) that is to be used and not...

I'm having an issue with an apache web server running the latest CentOS5 kernel (this issue is not new to the kernel). After a few days/weeks of running the server will become unresponsive and will require a physical reboot in order to come back online. The system is so unresponsive when the issue occurs that login at console is not even possible. I have atop installed and have looked back

Exotic tag proposals?! Do you mean the ones linked from the wiki? As far can tell, the only roadblock to "implementation" (by which, I assume you mean support from

...wild: 1. Rhythmbox makes use of the DISCNUMBER field. It cannot be set by the user (must use another program to set the info). 2. REPLAYGAIN is understood by a few players (can't remember if Winamp or Directshow filters will do it). Command line tool or foobar2000 to set them. 3. Musicbrainz tags. Only Musicbrainz software seems to interact with these (it will of course add year, title etc. too). On the other hand not even all of the standard set is commonly used (ISRC, organization). -- imalone

I need some sort of utility to calculate a checksum of an Ogg file. Two differently encoded Ogg:s should give different checksums, but the same file with different tags should give the same result. (The serial number doesn't work here, obviously. I need something that is changed if a bit of the file is lost.) -- Björn Lindström <bkhl@elektrubadur.se> http://bkhl.elektrubadur.se/

I was looking at the Freeamp stuff and I looked at their RDF metadata stream spec. (http://www.musicbrainz.org/MM). I noticed on that page it says, "Furthermore, this format will hopefully be used by the Open Source audio codec Vorbis to store audio/video metadata with the audio/video tracks." Is this the metadata format planned for Vorbis? If so, how would it be embedded in the .ogg? Simp...

I've put together the first attempt to defining an RDF metadata vocabulary for use with the CD Index/MusicBrainz/OggVorbis. If you care about metadata issues, please take a look at: http://www.cdindex.org/MM I've included a section for video specific stuff, but everything that I originally had in there is being covered by the MM:Contributors section. The Contributors stuff will allow us to easily iden...

Have a problem with flac tags,... need to clean up 100's of .flac tags.... example: (1)_Buff & the Skylights - Wishing You.flac 07 have a great day.flac ^^Love for ever - Muffin Men.flac (spaces) As you can see, there are allot of problems, and I don't have the time to hand tag each .flac file. ---- is there ANY thing for Linux, that can ( RE-tag ) .flac files, ie: do a lookup

Now that we have a useful standard that allows us to label our recordings properly: Are there yet any on-line databases (I'm thinking freedb-like, but freedb is as lame as ever) that allow storage/retreival of all of these useful comments?

Hi all, I'm the author of flactag, a utility for tagging whole-album FLAC files with embedded CUE sheets using data from the MusicBrainz servers. I've recently run it through valgrind, and I'm seeing memory leaks like the following: 12 bytes in 1 blocks are definitely lost in loss record 1 of 5 at 0x402377E: operator new(unsigned) (vg_replace_malloc.c:224) by 0x41448A8: FLAC::Metadata::local::construct_block(FLAC__StreamMe...

Hello... For the last three years, several of us have been developing a FLAC-based digital music library for use at our radio station here in northern California. This was started first as an experimentwith the goal of understanding what it takes to make a useful library on a central network file server. In the process, we developed an improved and far more useful schema for tagging the

...39;s cat, or the price of fish in Wisconsin (the earlier cases would probably be more useful). There's a suitable mature standard in the form of the Resource Description Framework, RDF (http://www.w3.org/RDF/). This has already found a fair amount of application around audio - examples include MusicBrainz and the "enclosure" vocabulary for RSS 1.0. Immediate uses for flac might include ICRA Content labeling of speech files ("bad language" etc) and Creative Commons licensing. But the question is how best to embed RDF (the standard serialization is an XML format, though there are...
