======Metadata======

=====File Systems=====

Dunno of any, but the CLI tools [[TMSU]], [[Tocc]], and [[Tagistant]] all create their own file systems (using symlinks) inside your drive's existing one that can then be accessed by other software. Pretty handy.

=====Software=====

  * **[[calibre]]**\\ Digital book manager with good metadata editing tools.
  * **[[EasyTAG]]**\\ [[Gnu]] tool for tagging audio files. Never tried.
  * **[[exiftool]]**
  * **[[Ex Falso]]**
  * **[[MediaElch]]**
  * **[[MediaInfo]]**
  * **[[Musicbrainz Picard]]**
  * **[[pdftag]]**
  * **[[tinyMediaManager]]**
  * **[[vlc]]**\\ Lets you edit a small set.

====Tag Manager====

Software that stores it's own database of tags, as a way to consistently tag all sorts of files, no matter what metadata they support. I've tried some before for organising images and videos, and am currently trying some for [[sample_manager|organising music samples and sound effects]].

  * **[[Baloo]]** [[https://community.kde.org/Baloo|Homepage]]\\ [[KDE]] tool with a limited CLI sister-tool.
  * **[[Hydrus Network]]** [[https://hydrusnetwork.github.io/hydrus/|Homepage]]\\ Channer affiliated :/
  * **[[TagFlow]]** [[https://www.tagflow.ch/|Homepage]]\\ Roadmap talks a lot about cloud stuff...
  * **[[Tagistant]]** [[https://www.tagsistant.net/|Homepage]]\\ CLI, [[TSMU]] seems better though.
  * **[[TagSpaces]]** [[https://www.tagspaces.org/|Homepage]]\\ Open-source, but free version is limited :/
  * **[[TMSU]]** [[https://tmsu.org/]]\\ CLI tool.
  * **[[Tocc]]** [[https://tocc.aidinhut.com/|Homepage]]
  * **[[Tracker]]** [[https://tracker.gnome.org/|Homepage]]\\ [[Gnome]] thing

=====My Use=====
====Music====
I generally just use these tags:

  * ''TIT2'' ／ ''title''
  * ''TPE1'' ／ ''artist''
  * ''TALB'' ／ ''album''
  * ''TPE2'' ／ ''albumartist'' - [[quod_libet]] labels this performer. Usually only use if there are multiple artists, software seems to sort stuff right otherwise.
  * ''TYER'' ／ ''date''
  * ''TPOS'' ／ ''discnumber'' - If there are multiple.
  * ''TCON'' ／ ''genre'' - I have set genres I use, and I also place the country and sometimes city in here.
  * ''TRCK'' ／ ''tracknumber''
  * ''COMM'' ／ ''comment'' - If I want to specify it's a [[youtube]] rip or something.

Ones that seem neat that I should use:

  * ''TSST'' ／ ''discsubtitle''
  * ''TLAN'' ／ ''language'' - Fill with three-letter language code from ISO-639-2
    * [[wp>List of ISO 639-2 codes]]
    * NB: ''mul'' for multiple, ''zxx'' for none.
  * ''TSOP'' ／ ''artistsort''
  * ''TSO2'' ／ ''albumartistsort'' - Starting to try these two 'sort' tags now though.
  * ''TSOT'' ／ ''titlesort''
  * ''TSOA'' ／ ''albumsort''
  * Multiple ones for artist-related URLs - https://wiki.hydrogenaud.io/index.php?title=Tag_Mapping#URLs.
    * ''WOAF'' ／ ? - Track website.
    * ''WOAR'' ／ ? - Track artist website. Well supported across file types.
    * ''WOAS'' ／ ? - Source website.

Maybe notable ones I don't bother with are:

  * ''TCOM'' ／ ''composer''
  * ''TSOC'' ／ ''composersortorder''
  * ''MVIN'' ／ ''movementnumber''
  * Shit like play counts and ratings. Though considering a use for ratings.
