I'm pretty obsessive with tags. I listen mostly to classical and opera, and tag everything I have extensively - I have multiple tags on most fields, so I can browse the way I want. There is -no way- the supplied tags would be appropriate for me - I would need to change them extensively. I'm happy to do this, so I get what I want. What further richness could I add to my tags? Maybe I wanted sleeve notes for opera, which would display on a handheld device - I can do this already, by putting a hyperlink to the work's wikipedia page on the comments, and showing it on my PSP (what a great idea - I may try this when I get home!). Why would I want to restrict them to what the record company supplied? What's wrong with reading the CD sleeve anyway? Almost no-one else seems to want such complex tags as me - would I be forced to dumb down, or would others be forced to have my multi-browse complexity? The best option is for an open-source system where nice people like Erland can write cool plug-ins for lunatics like me who browse in odd ways. Closed systems always pander to the majority, being 'good enough' but not suitably specialised for picky people. Since the 24/96 market is made up of 100% picky people by definition, you're onto a loser.
