Changing 'ID3' to 'tag' and 'year' to 'date'

(1/2) > >>

adam917:
As Rockbox supports other formats' tag schemes (Vorbis Comments for Ogg Vorbis, FLAC, & Speex, as well as the native tag formats of other supported codecs, I feel that it is inappropriate to call all tags 'ID3' at this point. Is this in the works in the menu/settings change?

Also, it would make more sense to change the label of the 'year' tag to 'date', as the more modern audio formats that Rockbox supports an actual date in the field; not just the year alone.

No need to change the WPS variables (or whatever they are called), though it might make sense to change the affected ones, provided this change occurs.

What does anyone here (especially heavy non-MP3-format users) think of this?

linuxstb:
Renaming "ID3" to something more generic is agreed to be a good thing, it just needs someone to do it...

I'm not sure about the year/date issue - even though many tag formats support date, not all do, and afaik, most tagging software just puts the year in there anyway.

Llorean:
Not to mention that Rockbox only makes use of the "Year" part of "Date" anyway, and assumes YYYY-blah format (it doesn't care what anything after the first four digits are, if I understand properly).

Anyway, this is all well and good, but both of these belong as separate feature requests, really.

Actually, when I play my FLAC & Vorbis files in there that have the full YYYY-MM-DD format, it shows all of it.

roolku:
Database only indexes the year part though.
