Vorbis - Jan 2007 - music.ibiblio.org: bad Vorbis comments?

Hi,

having inspected one of the files found at music.ibiblio.org, I realized that
the
comments are quite poor or misformatted in the files.

I'm telling you, because:
1) I think it's great to have some free music
2) I think the performers deserve to be recognized

Generally, I'd put as much as possible into the Vorbis comments. Then you
could
skip creating these index.html manually: Instead use some script that extracts
the
comments from the files you already have. users might share the files, but 
unlikely they'll share the index.html ;-)

Example of what I found for "06Poglietti_Hens_and_Cocks.ogg":
title=Revival Harpsichord Artist=Sylvia Kind plays Baroque Music Album=UWP2002

For comparison, here's what I have in one of my "home-tagged"
files (OK, everybody
considers me insane, but anyhow). "-nospam" added to EMail address
because of
stupid guys around:
	ALBUM=Odyssey
	ARTIST=Hayley Westenra
	CONTACT=hayleyw@bedlammanagement.com-nospam
	COPYRIGHT=(c) Decca Music Group Limited, London
	GENRE=Vocal
	ISRC=GB-BBA-03-20260
	PERFORMER=Hayley Westenra: Vocals; Robbie McIntosh: Guitar; Ian Thomas: 
Drums; Simon Chamberlain: Piano; Steve Pearce: Bass
	TITLE=Mary did you know?
	TRACKNUMBER=6
	MCN=0028947577911
	QUALITY=7,5

Regards,
Ulrich

Thanks for your comments, Ulrich. I'm not sure I understand them, nor
agree totally, if I did. The bottom line is I'm all alone in this
enterprise and I just don't have time to improve the presentation.
I think the first thing to do is to complete the list of what's available
and
list all the artists including links to the music.

Interested in helping with that?

Cheers...........Al
