Tag Frame Reference
This document contains a reference and comparison chart of the different (proposed) tag frames to be used in the Matroska,
ID3v2.x, Vorbis, APEv2 and Resource Interchange File Format (RIFF) tags.
The Dublin Core elements are included as well.
Note that this list is still unfinished and being worked on.
Please let me know if this document contains any errors so far.
Three discussions have been started about this matter:
- Hydrogenaudio Forums - Different tag type fields about the missing tag types and tag type frames which should be included.
- foobar2000 Forums - Common Foobar tag fields about common used tag frames which should be included.
- Matroska-devel Mailing List - Tag Names about the current and future development of the Matroska tag frames.
This document is a compilation of information which is available in the documents listed below.
