I'm not sure if this falls within the scope of tag data, somewhere else, or if there's any provision for it at all: I have a lot of songs whose native titles are in Japanese. For example, I have a song titled "螟". The filename for this song would be "02 - yume [Dream].ogg" (or even "02 - 螟 (yume) [Dream].ogg".) To automatically name this file, I'd need to (minimally) store both versions of the title; in practice I might want two Japanese versions, "螟" and "ゆめ" (so my naming script doesn't have to deal with kanjidic, but I'd probably do that anyway. :) This is useful for player display, too. This boils down to having multiple versions (per language) of different tags. It's not good enough to just store two title fields; they need to be associated, since there may be more than one such field--for artists (or whatever you call them :), for example. Now, I could envision this being done fairly simply in comment tags, but on one hand, I don't know if that's the place for it; and on the other, there's probably not much demand for it. I've wanted this type of thing for a good while, though, and a standard place for it would be nice. Putting this stuff in a custom metadata field would mean having to write my own tagging software. -- Glenn Maynard --- >8 ---- List archives: http://www.xiph.org/archives/ Ogg project homepage: http://www.xiph.org/ogg/ To unsubscribe from this list, send a message to 'vorbis-request@xiph.org' containing only the word 'unsubscribe' in the body.

The same occur with classical music, where the titles are expressed in random languages instead of the original. It would be easier to manage them if they could be stored in several language. The tools to retrive them could use by default the environment variable LC_MESSAGES to select the version to show. -- __Pascal_Bourguignon__ (o_ Software patents are endangering () ASCII ribbon against html email //\ the computer industry all around /\ and Microsoft attachments.
