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

Speaking of Metadata, how's work going on the definition? Looking back at the list archives, there seems to be a semi-plan to use Robert Kay's DTD from http://www.cdindex.org/dtd/TrackInfo.dtd, but I'm conserned that it's too specialized for video and we'll end up having a special case for audio-only files. There are a couple of general issues here. Micheal Smith suggested on

Don't have too much to report, but I talked to Michael Smith about things on IRC this evening and we made some progress in compromising our visions. On the static and stream identification metadata there was a tenative decision to go with RDF, but in such as way that a limited player could choose not to support it and still be able to play the a/v data. Robert mentioned trying to work his

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?

Having not been reading the list regularly for the past few months, I've been reading through for the past few days trying to catch up. I was wondering what the current state of Vorbis metadata was. Has anything been agreed upon as far as how metadata is to be stored? It seems every time this was brought up before it turned into a large debate and nothing was ever resolved. Tony Arcieri

Both MPEG-4 File Format (mp4) and Matroska (mkv) have an interesting format for lyrics and subtitles. Since these container formats can contain multiple contain streams, lyrics or subtitles are just another "stream" interleaved with the rest of the data. They are synchronized by having timestamps like any other stream. The payload is just text data. If you don't care about

I was trying to subscribe to an RSS feed from <http://developer.r-project.org/RSSfeeds.html> but IE chokes on DTDs and Firefox also has trouble with this feed. (I'm not sure if it has trouble with DTDs in general.) I went to one of our web developers to see what I should use to read the feed, and he pointed out that the mix of RSS 2.00 and rss-0.91 looks like a mistake: <!--

Hi, I haven't seen any information about Lyrics in the documentation and mail archives, so I guess the answer... but may be I've missed something... Does flac support lyrics? Regards, J?r?me

Hi! While writing a bug report to the Sonique authors, I also thought it might be useful to ask for a better handling of the OGG Vorbis comment tags. This lead me to the question on what could be included in the comments at all, since custom tags are allowed. The idea was, for example, to write whole song lyrics into the .OGG or maybe even a small story about how the weather was when the song

Help! I'm researching Vorbis as a solution for talk programming archiving (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

One of the great things about Ogg (in addition to fantastic sound quality) is the ability to insert anything into a file tag, including lyrics. What would be sweet would be a visualization plug-in which would read the "lyrics" tag and display this text in a resizable window. Does anyone have experience programming winamp plug-ins?

Daniel, these are all good ideas and worth progressing. However, it may be better not to merge too many goals in one format (MPEG-7 did that and ended up as a big mess). So, I suggest to start by structuring the types of things you want - then finding out which parts belong where into existing formats such as vorbis comment, Skeleton and CMML, and only then start to develop a new format. For

Hi, I've heard somewhere that it is possible to store inside .ogg files text streams and thus it should be possible to store lyrics for the sond directly in the file. Is it true? Could anybody point me towards some code how to do it (Python preferable, but not required)? Is there any documentation for text streams in .ogg files?

Hi Folks, What is the proper way to embed text stream into the Ogg stream? I need to have text information (lyrics as example) recorded together with the audio. Is there a standard mechanism for that? What is the right way to do it?
