What frame to use?

[Pascal Hibon]

Hello,



Let's say we have a song with title A from artist B that is recorded an
album called C. The album C is a compilation album. So A, B and C would use
the following frames:



TIT2 = A

TALB = C

TPE1 = B



In what frame would I identify the "compilation" or various artists? I have
looked into the ID3v2.3 standard but I couldn't find a specific frame for
such information. What ID3v2.3 frame should I use for that kind of
information?



Thank you,

Pascal

In ID3v24 you would use TCMP, no such frame exists for ID3v23 but I
would use TCMP for this as well, this is what iTunes does

You can use TCMP in ID3v2.3. It's not official, but a lot of players support
it.

If you mean how to identify the artist of the compilation, for example, a DJ
compilation, I've seen TXXX VA Artist used, not by iTunes, but that's the
closest thing I've seen. In case the scenario isn't clear here's an example
http://bit.ly/cpx7lL (amazon.com) where Reid Speed would be the VA Artist
and Dylan, K, Filthy Dirty Rich v. Angelai, etc would go in TPE1.

Hi guys,



Thank you both for the reply.

One other question. I have searched for the TCMP frame in the ID3v2.4
definition but I couldn't find it. I'm interested to know how this frames
should be constructed.

iTunes is doing it like this:



TCMP xx xx xx xx yy yy 00 31 00 if the file is part of a compilation. (xx xx
xx xx = size and yy yy are the flags).

Would this be the correct way to do it?



Thank you,

Pascal
