Package: audacious Version: 1.4.0-1 Severity: wishlist Audacious should support multiple genre/artist tags. This is 'encouraged' by Ogg Vorbis:
http://xiph.org/ogg/vorbis/doc/v-comment.html: Field names are not required to be unique (occur once) within a comment header. As an example, assume a track was recorded by three well know[n] artists; the following is permissible, and encouraged: ARTIST=Dizzy Gillespie ARTIST=Sonny Rollins ARTIST=Sonny Stitt And it's also supported by ID3v2.4.0: http://id3.org/id3v2.4.0-frames 4.2. Text information frames All text information frames supports multiple strings, stored as a null separated list [...] This is very useful for databases (is genre "Folk Rock" the same as "Rock Folk" and "Folk, Rock"?), with a huge benefit for the user. For example, I have lots of music tagged as "Vocal, Jazz, Swing". (e.g. Frank Sinatra) as opposed to "Jazz, Swing, Big Band" (e.g. Count Basie). There are of course songs that are a fusion of Jazz and Funk... and so on. It's so much more useful to be able to assign them multiple genres! Especially for not having to decide if a song is "Funk", "Jazz" or "Funky Jazz", but just being able to say "yeah, it's both Jazz and Funk somewhat"... --- System information. --- Architecture: i386 Kernel: Linux 2.6.23.1 Debian Release: lenny/sid 500 unstable www.debian-multimedia.org 500 unstable ftp.de.debian.org 1 experimental ftp.de.debian.org --- Package information. --- Depends (Version) | Installed ==================================-+-============= libatk1.0-0 (>= 1.20.0) | 1.20.0-1 libaudclient1 | 1.4.0-1 libc6 (>= 2.6.1-1) | 2.6.1-6 libcairo2 (>= 1.4.0) | 1.4.10-1 libdbus-1-3 (>= 1.1.1) | 1.1.1-3 libdbus-glib-1-2 (>= 0.74) | 0.74-1 libfontconfig1 (>= 2.4.0) | 2.5.0-2 libglade2-0 (>= 1:2.6.1) | 1:2.6.2-1 libglib2.0-0 (>= 2.14.0) | 2.14.3-1 libgtk2.0-0 (>= 2.12.0) | 2.12.1-3 libmcs1 | 0.4.1-2+b1 libmowgli1 | 0.5.0-3 libpango1.0-0 (>= 1.18.3) | 1.19.0-1 libsamplerate0 | 0.1.2-5 libx11-6 | 2:1.0.3-7 libxcomposite1 (>= 1:0.3-1) | 1:0.3.2-1+b1 libxcursor1 (>> 1.1.2) | 1:1.1.9-1 libxdamage1 (>= 1:1.1) | 1:1.1.1-3 libxext6 | 1:1.0.3-2 libxfixes3 (>= 1:4.0.1) | 1:4.0.3-2 libxi6 | 2:1.1.3-1 libxinerama1 | 1:1.0.2-1 libxml2 (>= 2.6.29) | 2.6.30.dfsg-2 libxrandr2 (>= 2:1.2.0) | 2:1.2.2-1 libxrender1 | 1:0.9.4-1 audacious-plugins (>= 1.4~) | 1.4.0-1 audacious-plugins (<< 1.5~) | 1.4.0-1 best regards, Erich Schubert -- erich@(vitavonni.de|debian.org) -- GPG Key ID: 4B3A135C (o_ Nothing prevents happiness like the memory of happiness. --- A.
