Need Information Regarding Indian Classical Music Tags

[Binu Panicker]

Hello,

I'm new here and trying to get some infromation on:
a) How can the id3v2 tags support some of the requirements from the Indian
Classical Music?
b) Is there a process to add standard tags to the specs so that future
applications and hardware will be aware of these?

For e.g: Most listeners of Indian Classsical Music love to search and
categorize the songs based on two baisc Tags:
a) RAGA
b) TALA

In addition to singer and composer. I tried using Mp3Tag software to add
these extended TAGS to the songs. But these tags are never identified in
apps like ITuens or Windows Media Player or WinAmp.

Could someone share viewpoints to this observation?

Regards,

Most player programs only use a very small subset of the frames. That
would not change if more frame types were available.
You can add user defined text frames or comment frames to put you own
particular data in, but most player software will not do anything with them.
You can try my program jampal (http://jampal.sf.net). It can add frames
of most types to songs. You can create any number of user defined text
frames. You can customize the library display to include your user
defined frames, then you can sort on these frames, search on them,
create playlists based on them, etc. Jampal can play your songs as well.
