Shaun McCance and I hav been talking about this. It's too limiting to use the id3v2 tags. What I would like to see is being able to add user generated metadata. I'm thinking something similar to how f-spot adds metadata to pictures. This way you can slice your music collection in any way you like.
Granted it can't be put into the id3v2 format but I don't think thats particularly important when managing your personal collection because how you categorize music is unique to you. sri On Fri, 2005-07-08 at 19:15 +0000, Omen Nemo wrote: > >the same language.
