#REDIRECT [[Tag Mapping]]
 
+
== Standard Tags ==
+
 
+
The following tables just map tags in one format 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.
+
 
+
=== Primary ===
+
 
+
These are the core meta-tags and supported/defined in all major tagging standards or file formats.

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

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.

== Non-standard Tags ==
+
 
+
=== Proprietary ===
+
 
+
These meta-tags are used in proprietary software, and is rarely of use outside that particular software.
+

+
=== 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.
