Tag Mapping

2013-10-11T22:12:32Z

Rescator: Made all tables sortable.

== Introduction ==
This page is under construction. Please do not rely on the content being accurate or trustworthy.

This page attempts to document a useful mapping between the tagging schemes used on various file formats. The aim is to allow tag data (metadata) to be transferred between file formats without information loss.

It is organized into categories of data, and within each category the ordering is roughly as follows:

1. tags that apply to a wider range of data (e.g. a whole CD) come before tags that apply to a narrower range of data (e.g. one track).

2. tags are sorted alphabetically where this is relevant.

3. tags that are more widely supported come before tags that are less widely supported.

4. tags that fall into smaller unnamed sub-categories are grouped together.

5. tags that appear very similar but which have not yet been mapped are listed next to each other.

This document will not deal with approaches to tagging, except where certain approaches to tagging are required to make mapping work.

== Additional Information ==

=== Issues ===

Due to the re-purposing of ID3v2's TPE2 as Album Artist, we have no field to store the name of the Orchestra, yet we have a dedicated field for the Conductor.

Author / Writer / Lyricist clash through ID3v2 (worse if artist=author or title=author!)

Performers vs involved people vs musicians. All musicians are involved people; not all involved people are necessarily musicians!

Dates - some are specific (recorded/released/tagged) others are just a non-specific date.

Metatag Mapping

2013-08-28T17:06:30Z

Rescator: /* Links */ removed page category so it's no longer indexed in wiki category pages.

== Introduction ==

The purpose of this page is to try and cover as many of the most used formats/standards of tagging (audio) as possible.
Hopefully this will help those trying to transcode or move audio data around and wish to retain their tags.
It is also hopefully of use to developers that read and write metadata from files.
And if this page helps standards bodies to make decisions on current or future metadata/formats/tags then that is just awesome too.

Please note that this page is about mapping tags to each other, it does not detail nor dictate the actual way the metadata is stored nor any limitations (or lack thereof), such is way beyond the scope of this page.

The terms metadata/tag/field may be used intermittently on this page to mean the same thing. This page is also far from complete and may never be.

The names down along the left hand side of the tables are the suggested names of these tags (and how they should be presented to the end user), in time these will hopefully get their own mini wiki page, or at the very least a note as to what it's intended purpose/use is.

== Standard Tags ==

The following tables just map tags in one format/standard to another. Each format may have limitations, like not being able to handle UTF8 for example, or limitations as to the length of the content of a tag, some might have a non-textual tag like ID3v1 has for the Genre tag. Some may allow multiple tags of the same kind, while some may allow just one but uses a separator in the text instead. These format differences may or may not be mentioned on this page, so please keep that in mind.
If you see a question mark inside the tables then that just means somebody haven't filled/researched anything about that part yet, if you see n/a in the table that means this tag does not exist and will most likely never exist for that format/standard (mostly this applies to ID3 v1 and v1.1). The grouping of the tags may also change from time to time as this page is improved.

=== Primary ===

These are the core meta-tags and supported/defined in all major tagging standards or file formats one way or another.

=== Secondary ===

These meta-tags provide information that a user or software may expect. Not all formats or software may support these tags though.

=== Tertiary ===

These meta-tags while considered standard may have uneven support across various software or formats. They should otherwise be rather well specified though.

{|class="wikitable"
! Tag !! ID3 v1/v1.1 !! FLAC/Vorbis/Ogg !! ID3 v2.3/v2.4 !! APEv2 !! Matroska !! WMA !! MP4/iTunes
|}

=== Quaternary ===

These meta-tags are the more rare ones. They may also be ambiguous on how the content of a tag is to be treated/parsed. Some of these may have been proprietary at some point in the past. While others may be falling into obscurity.

{|class="wikitable"
! Tag !! ID3 v1/v1.1 !! FLAC/Vorbis/Ogg !! ID3 v2.3/v2.4 !! APEv2 !! Matroska !! WMA !! MP4

== Non-standard Tags ==

=== Proprietary ===

These meta-tags are used in proprietary software, and is rarely of use outside that particular software.

{|class="wikitable"
! Tag !! ID3 v1/v1.1 !! FLAC/Vorbis/Ogg !! ID3 v2.3/v2.4 !! APEv2 !! Matroska !! WMA !! MP4/iTunes
|-
!fieldname

|?
|?
|?
|?
|?
|?
|-
!fieldname
|n/a
|?
|?
|?
|?
|?
|?
|}

=== Proposed ===

These meta-tags are suggestions for new standards, some of these may also have previously been experimental or proprietary in nature. While they may be proposed this does not guarantee they will become standard. It just means that someone (and hopefully more than one individual) would like to see it standardized. Any tags listed here should be properly documented someplace and specified in detail.

{|class="wikitable"
! Tag !! ID3 v1/v1.1 !! FLAC/Vorbis/Ogg !! ID3 v2.3/v2.4 !! APEv2 !! Matroska !! WMA !! MP4/iTunes

|?
|?

|-
!fieldname
|n/a
|?
|?
|?
|?
|?
|?
|}

=== Experimental ===

These meta-tags are experimental in nature and should not be encountered normally, but in case they are they are listed here for completeness sake. These tags may appear and vanish at any time or may have their meaning or use changed at any time.

{|class="wikitable"
! Tag !! ID3 v1/v1.1 !! FLAC/Vorbis/Ogg !! ID3 v2.3/v2.4 !! APEv2 !! Matroska !! WMA !! MP4/iTunes

<ref name=TDRC>The ID3 v2.3 tags TYER & TDAT & TIME & TRDA are replaced by TDRC in ID3 v2.4, see [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ID3#ID3v2_Frame_Specification_.28Version_2.4_.E2.80.93_delta_respect_to_2.3.29 ID3] Wikipedia article for more.</ref>
<ref name=ID3v1Genre>The ID3 v1 and v1.1 Genre tag is a number referencing a pre-defined list, this brings it own huge genre mapping issue that is not covered in this Wiki page.</ref>
<ref name=Track>Some Track meta tags may have both the current track and total tracks stored, using a / to separate the two values. While others do not.</ref>
<ref name=ID3v1>Difference between ID3 v1 and v1.1 is the addition of Album track, see [http://id3.org/ID3v1 ID3v1] specs for more.</ref>
<ref name=Matroska>In Matroska it matters where the tags are used. So a ReplayGain tag for Track and Album are named the same just as an example.</ref>
<ref name=ID3v2.4>Some tags are only in ID3 v2.4 and there exists no equivalent in ID3 v2.3.</ref>
<ref name=TXXX>Tags that start with TXXX= in the tables above means that the actual tag is stored inside a TXXX tag.
</references>

=== Issues ===

There are a few issues that are unresolved/need to be resolved:

* "Remixed By" is pretty much the same as "Subtitle", the Ogg definition of "Version" even mention this. But ID3v2.x treat them as two separate tags.
* "Subtitle" is often put as part of the title inside parenthesis. For display purposes that is probably correct, but not when storing the information.
* It is not clear yet if this page should be all exhaustive, or if it should cover common practice (in a similar vein to how HTML5 standard is being maintained).

Tag Mapping

2013-08-28T17:05:08Z

Rescator: Split the huge table into sections (should ease contribution editing), sectioned the page, added Links.

== Introduction ==
This page is under construction. Please do not rely on the content being accurate or trustworthy.

This page attempts to document a useful mapping between the tagging schemes used on various file formats. The aim is to allow tag data (metadata) to be transferred between file formats without information loss.

It is organized into categories of data, and within each category the ordering is roughly as follows:

1. tags that apply to a wider range of data (e.g. a whole CD) come before tags that apply to a narrower range of data (e.g. one track).

2. tags are sorted alphabetically where this is relevant.

3. tags that are more widely supported come before tags that are less widely supported.

4. tags that fall into smaller unnamed sub-categories are grouped together.

5. tags that appear very similar but which have not yet been mapped are listed next to each other.

This document will not deal with approaches to tagging, except where certain approaches to tagging are required to make mapping work.

== Additional Information ==

=== Issues ===

Due to the re-purposing of ID3v2's TPE2 as Album Artist, we have no field to store the name of the Orchestra, yet we have a dedicated field for the Conductor.

Author / Writer / Lyricist clash through ID3v2 (worse if artist=author or title=author!)

Performers vs involved people vs musicians. All musicians are involved people; not all involved people are necessarily musicians!

Dates - some are specific (recorded/released/tagged) others are just a non-specific date.

Talk:Tag Mapping

Rescator: Suggestions

My suggestion is to cannibalize this http://wiki.hydrogenaudio.org/index.php?title=Metatag_Mapping (for whatever it's worth) and recycle what can be recycled, and then delete that page.
2BDecided's work on this page is beyond what was on my page, and having just one page on tag mapping should make contribution easier for others.

Metatag Mapping

Rescator: /* Links */ fixed typo

Rescator: /* Links */

The words metadata/tag/field may be used intermittently on this page to mean the same thing. This page is also far from complete and may never be.

== Standard Tags ==

The following tables just map tags in one format/standard to another. Each format may have limitations, like not being able to handle UTF8 for example, or limitations as to the length of the content of a tag, some might have a non-textual tag like ID3v1 has for the Genre tag. These format limitations may or may not be mentioned on this page, so please keep that in mind.
If you see a question mark inside the tables then that just means somebody haven't filled/researched anything about that part yet, if you see n/a in the table that means this tag does not exist and will most likely never exist for that format/standard (mostly this applies to ID3 v1 and v1.1). The grouping of the tags may also change from time to time as this page is improved.

=== Primary ===

These are the core meta-tags and supported/defined in all major tagging standards or file formats one way or another.

These meta-tags are the more rare ones. They may also be ambiguous on how the content of a tag is to be treated/parsed. Some of these may have been proprietary at some point in the past. While others may be falling into obscurity.

== Non-standard Tags ==

=== Proprietary ===

These meta-tags are used in proprietary software, and is rarely of use outside that particular software.

|-
!fieldname
|n/a
|?
|?
|?
|?
|?
|?
|}

=== Proposed ===

These meta-tags are suggestions for new standards, some of these may also have previously been experimental or proprietary in nature. While they may be proposed this does not guarantee they will become standard. It just means that someone (and hopefully more than one individual) would like to see it standardized. Any tags listed here should be properly documented someplace and specified in detail.

=== Experimental ===

These meta-tags are experimental in nature and should not be encountered normally, but in case they are they are listed here for completeness sake. These tags may appear and vanish at any time or may have their meaning or use changed at any time.

<ref name=TDRC>The ID3 v2.3 tags TYER & TDAT & TIME & TRDA are replaced by TDRC in ID3 v2.4, see [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ID3#ID3v2_Frame_Specification_.28Version_2.4_.E2.80.93_delta_respect_to_2.3.29 ID3] Wikipedia article for more.</ref>
<ref name=ID3v1Genre>The ID3 v1 and v1.1 Genre tag is a number referencing a pre-defined list, this brings it own huge genre mapping issue that is not covered in this Wiki page.</ref>
<ref name=Track>Some Track meta tags may have both the current track and total tracks stored, using a / to separate the two values. While others do not.</ref>
<ref name=ID3v1>Difference between ID3 v1 and v1.1 is the addition of Album track, see [http://id3.org/ID3v1 ID3v1] specs for more.</ref>
<ref name=Matroska>In Matroska it matters where the tags are used. So a ReplayGain tag for Track and Album are named the same just as an example.</ref>
<ref name=ID3v2.4>Some tags are only in ID3 v2.4 and there exists no equivalent in ID3 v2.3.</ref>
<ref name=TXXX>Tags that start with TXXX= in the tables above means that the actual tag is stored inside a TXXX tag.

Metatag Mapping

2013-08-14T02:45:44Z

Rescator: /* (Unsorted) */

The words metadata/tag/field may be used intermittently on this page to mean the same thing. This page is also far from complete and may never be.

== Standard Tags ==

The following tables just map tags in one format/standard to another. Each format may have limitations, like not being able to handle UTF8 for example, or limitations as to the length of the content of a tag, some might have a non-textual tag like ID3v1 has for the Genre tag. These format limitations may or may not be mentioned on this page, so please keep that in mind.
If you see a question mark inside the tables then that just means somebody haven't filled/researched anything about that part yet, if you see n/a in the table that means this tag does not exist and will most likely never exist for that format/standard (mostly this applies to ID3 v1 and v1.1). The grouping of the tags may also change from time to time as this page is improved.

=== Primary ===

These are the core meta-tags and supported/defined in all major tagging standards or file formats one way or another.

== Non-standard Tags ==

=== Proprietary ===

These meta-tags are used in proprietary software, and is rarely of use outside that particular software.

{|class="wikitable"
! Tag !! ID3 v1/v1.1 !! FLAC/Vorbis/Ogg !! ID3 v2.3/v2.4 !! APEv2 !! Matroska !! WMA !! MP4/iTunes

=== Proposed ===

These meta-tags are suggestions for new standards, some of these may also have previously been experimental or proprietary in nature. While they may be proposed this does not guarantee they will become standard. It just means that someone (and hopefully more than one individual) would like to see it standardized. Any tags listed here should be properly documented someplace and specified in detail.

=== Experimental ===

These meta-tags are experimental in nature and should not be encountered normally, but in case they are they are listed here for completeness sake. These tags may appear and vanish at any time or may have their meaning or use changed at any time.

Metatag Mapping

2013-08-14T02:45:13Z

Rescator: /* Quaternary */

The words metadata/tag/field may be used intermittently on this page to mean the same thing. This page is also far from complete and may never be.

== Standard Tags ==

The following tables just map tags in one format/standard to another. Each format may have limitations, like not being able to handle UTF8 for example, or limitations as to the length of the content of a tag, some might have a non-textual tag like ID3v1 has for the Genre tag. These format limitations may or may not be mentioned on this page, so please keep that in mind.
If you see a question mark inside the tables then that just means somebody haven't filled/researched anything about that part yet, if you see n/a in the table that means this tag does not exist and will most likely never exist for that format/standard (mostly this applies to ID3 v1 and v1.1). The grouping of the tags may also change from time to time as this page is improved.

=== Primary ===

These are the core meta-tags and supported/defined in all major tagging standards or file formats one way or another.

=== Secondary ===

These meta-tags provide information that a user or software may expect. Not all formats or software may support these tags though.

=== Tertiary ===

These meta-tags while considered standard may have uneven support across various software or formats. They should otherwise be rather well specified though.

=== Quaternary ===

These meta-tags are the more rare ones. They may also be ambiguous on how the content of a tag is to be treated/parsed. Some of these may have been proprietary at some point in the past. While others may be falling into obscurity.
