Re: Which ID3 tags are used by the server?

Here's a list of the ones we actually use and cache:

	'TITLE', # title
	'GENRE', # genre
	'TRACKNUM', # tracknumber as an int
	'ARTIST', # artist
	'ALBUM',  # album name
	'COMMENT',	# ID3 comment
	'YEAR',		# year
	'SECS',	# total seconds
	'VBR_SCALE', # vbr/cbr
	'BITRATE', # bitrate
	'TAGSIZE', # size of ID3v2 tag

Sorry, no recommendation here, but maybe somebody else can help you.
