<title>The Music Player Daemon Sticker Database</title>
<chapter>
<title>Introduction to MPD's Sticker Database</title>
<para>
This document shell give a short guideline for recommended tags
for use in MPD's Sticker Database.
MPD's Sticker Database is a subsystem that enables users to add
custom tags. MPD does not alter the media files.

<chapter>
<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.

<listitem>
<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 one is self explaining. This gives the option to
store lyrics of a song where they belong to: mapped to the
song

<varlistentry>
<term><varname>similar_artists</varname> (Comma seperated list of artists)</term>
<listitem>
<para>
This tag enables a last.fm alike aproach which will still
work when being offline Keep in mind, that this tag is
absolutely non-standard! I am not aware of any other
player that uses a comparable tag.
