Awesome. This is definitely helpful!

Is there anything else mission critical that you guys feel OCR tags lack?

It would be cool to somehow integrate a system of sorting by game, but I'm not sure which field you could use.

[Rozovian]

This might be a compeltely idiotic idea, but...

Could the Album tag refer to the game and http://www.ocremix.org be put somewhere else (like publisher/label/whatever)? It'd make sorting easier.

Also, some game names aren't used consistantly, SD3 and Seiken Densetsu 3 are both used (the only example I recall). Might as well fix that and NamesWithoutSpaces too if you're updating the tags.

One thing that I'm surprised has never been done, especially considering how all of OCR is tagged as one album:
How about putting the remix ID number as the track number, so we can sort the remixes in the order they were posted on the site?

I believe Dave has stated before that OCR's URL will not be moved out of the album field. Discovering an MP3 with a website listed as its album (how often do you seen that?) is going to drive a lot more people to discover this place than a URL buried deep within the ID3 details.

Although I understand your sentiments. Personally, all the OC ReMixes I download have their album changed to "Game Name OC ReMix", "OC ReMix" is stripped out of the title (since I put it in the album), and "http://www.ocremix.org" goes into the publisher field.

Definitely NOT changing the album tag. That's how people find the site. If you want to sort by game, the filenames and titles allow that already.

Already done. This is me we're talking about.

Dave uses Helium to tag the mixes and I know he adds the OCR mix # in every mix somewhere. That said, I dunno where that is in ID3v2 tags or how to easily see that stuff. We could do that in the Track # tags instead.

Cool, thanks. Curious to see if I could find the embedded numbers, I just used Winamp, Foobar2000, and a free tagger program... and none of them saw any ID3 field containing the mix number. It isn't easy to find, that's for certain. o.o

i concur. my mixes are stored by folder from the torrent. 01 > 1000 etc

and i don't see any mixid anywhere. i'm forced to check the path of the file to see where they are.

Don't remove the album tag, the album is OCR and not the game. Will cause a LOT of confusion otherwise imo, people sharing it like a soundtrack song or such.

Fixing the NamesWithoutSpaces and FFVI/FF6 issues too might be a good idea. Use roman numerals.

RE: the separate albums in itunes I usually check "part of collection" in itunes and they all group together. If the Album Artist field will fix this, then good, "part of collection" works good enough for me anyway. Album Artist field would require putting every single remixer down OR ocremix.org and both seems.. meh.

RE: mix id, would be awesome. I always try to sort by year to see the "evolution" of OCRemixes and mix id (perhaps track number? that's the best way to organize it in my opinion but it might mess stuff up if your media player doesn't sort by different things easily) would help this a lot.

You could recruit! http://www.ocremix.org/forums/showthread.php?t=19642. No difference to me since I'm still Zen Xtra-ing (green and black screen), but if that tiles project doesn't fall through it sounds like you might have folks interested in associating the pics with the remixes.

IMO 1700+ different covers for EACH TRACK sounds like a waste of space. Title Screens per game, maybe, but I'm satisfied with just an official OCR Album Art.
