So you think my current list
artist/album/title/number/genre/date/comment misses things?

May I ask why you need this syntax instead of -a "Foo bar" -t "The
foobar song" ?

Yes, that's a problem.
But, since I expect most people to use the regular options -a -A -t -n
-d -g -c instead --tag, I thought it was not that bad to not be able to
rename using the value passed to--tag. Additionally, it is still
possible to hardcode the value passed to --tag directly in the format
passed to --rename :)
I am aware that --tag is not really useful so far. I planned a long time
ago to improve it. But, it is not easy to design, so it is not improving
very quickly :(

Right, it could be good. But, first I need to decide the list of
"common" tags that I support. The "tracknumber" and "title" above are
obvious. The 5 other ones that I already support are ok too. But, I was
planning to support ID3v2 tags in MP3 files (I only support ID3v1 so
far). And, ID3v2 tags have very complex and precise names, for instance
the following ones are similar to my "author":
Lead performer(s)/Soloist(s)
Band/orchestra/accompaniment
Conductor/performer refinement
Interpreted, remixed, or otherwise modified by
There are tons like this. So I need to extract a list of tags which is
common to all file format I support. But also large enough to eventually
be as precise as ID3v2 tags are. Not easy :( If you have an advice...
Anyway, you might get improvements about all this in lltag in the
future, but it might take some time :)
Thanks,
Brice
