- <title>Guideline for recommended tags</title>
- <para>
- Since there is no standard for tags in media files, this
- document is trying to give you some help deciding what tags to
- use. The selection of these tags tries to cover the most
- widely used tags. This way the tags might still work in other
- players, if you sync the database with your original media
- files.
- Keep in mind that we stick with lower case tags with underscores
- instead of spaces. If there will be a Sync tool in future
- its easy to change this on the fly, if needed.

- <para>
- This tag is used to keep the Genre tag clean, by now
- having 1000's of genres. Instead you define a Main Genre
- for each file and can make a more specific
- description. This should be one Keyword like "Post Punk"
- or "Progressive Death Metal" An Alternative name for this
- tag is "Subgenre", time will tell which one gets more
- support.

- This tag enables a last.fm alike aproach which will still

- player that uses a comparable tag.
