Metadata

My Use

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
- List of ISO 639-2 codes
- NB: mul for multiple, zxx for none.
TSOP ／ artistsort
TSO2 ／ albumartistsort - Starting to try thee two 'sort' tags now though.
TSOT ／ titlesort
TSOA ／ albumsort
Multiple ones for artist-related URLs.

Maybe notable ones I don't bother with are:
