Speex dev - Jul 2007 - Support for tags in speex files?

Dear speex developers,

Would it be possible to have tags in speex files?

I have a good amount of spoken audio (currently in MP3 format) and I
would like to convert it to speex, since it seems to be the best choice
for voice recordings.

Unfortunately, without tags, it is quite hard to identify the speeches.
Ideally, I would love if tag support were included into easytag, so that
I can manipulate everything with just Free Software.


Thanks in advance, Rog?rio Brito.

sure, Speex files use vorbis-style comments (ie. similar to Ogg Vorbis files).

speexenc provides options --author and --title for setting the most
common ones, and --comment for setting arbitrary tags, eg:

speexenc --comment "MOOD=Happy" speech1234.wav speech1234.spx

Conrad.

Dear Conrad and other people.

First of all thank you for your nice response.

Thanks, that is nice, but you left me with a question: is it possible
to have speex files in an ogg container? I looked a bit on the
documentation of speexenc and could find no mention of it (I'm using
Debian's testing distribution and the superb easytag as a tag
manager).

Does this mean that, in case I wrap the file into an Ogg container, it
will have two layers of "containment"?


Thank you very much for your kind answer, Rog?rio Brito.
