 <p>An upper level value tag applies to the lower level. That means if a CD has the same artist, you just need to set the ARTIST tag to the MEDIUM and not to each TRACK (but you can). That also means that <strong>if some parts of the CD have no known ARTIST the value must be set to nothing (a void string &quot;&quot;)</strong>.</p>
 
+<p>The TargetPhysical element have the same properties as TargetTypes. That means that upper levels apply to the lower levels if the lower level is not specified, and that levels should not be specified if they don't exist. Each level can have different names fro audio and video. Here is the list of possible levels for both audio and video :</p>
