Modified MP3 Tagging & Official OCR Album Art!

SUCCESS! ReMixes 1-2500 retagged! http://ocremix.org/forums/showthread.php?t=41730

First, the visual:



Now, the (hopefully) less sexy tagging changes:
  • Album is now "http://ocremix.org" (no "www")
  • Title field includes single quotes around mix title (e.g. Sonic the Hedgehog 'Love Hurts' OC ReMix instead of Sonic the Hedgehog Love Hurts OC ReMix)
  • Track # is now populated with the numeric value of the mix ID (OCR01234 = 1234)
  • Compilation flag is set
  • Added Publisher, Album Artist and Album Artist URL fields (OverClocked ReMix and http://ocremix.org, respectively)

We'd like feedback on these changes, but much of this has already been discussed in Larry's MP3 tagging improvements thread.

We also are planning to release 2 updated torrents featuring these tagging revisions applied to all past ReMixes:
OCR00001-OCR02000 & OCR02001-OCR02400

All past ReMixes will include the following updates:


DONE:
  • MP3 validation (e.g. MPEG frame consistency, length of stored VBR header) for player compatibility
  • Added missing VBR headers
  • Removed all non-standard ID3v2.3 tags and all non-ID3v2.3 tags (e.g. ID3v1, APE)
  • Standardized filenames and ID3v2.3 tags (e.g. proper game titles, correct capitalization/spacing of mix titles, single quotes around mix title)
  • Quality control & corrections of all existing fields (e.g. ReMixer name changes, missing/corrected composers/platforms/years)
  • Added Track # (ReMix ID #), Publisher (OverClocked ReMix), Album Artist (OverClocked ReMix) and Album Artist URL ("http://ocremix.org") fields
  • Added Compilation flag for grouping of single mixes as one album
  • Added game to Grouping/Content Group field for sorting by game title
  • Added ReMix titles (w/o game name prefix & 'OC ReMix' suffix) to Subtitle field
  • Standardized URL field (OCR Artist profile URL)
  • Added artist submission and website comments to Comments field (when available)
  • Embedded confirmed lyrics in Comments and Unsynced Lyrics fields
  • Removed extra silence from tracks

IN PROGRESS:
  • Higher bitrate encodings (but NO CHANGES OR REVISIONS)
    New bitrate/encoding requirement at either 192kbps or VBR1 (ReMixers, post your higher quality encodings here and/or send your WAVs, FLACs or HQ encodings to larryoji@ocremix.org)
  • Lyrics unavailable for some ReMixes (HELP US OUT HERE)

THINGS WE ARE NOT CHANGING:
  • ReMixer name(s) as Artist
  • "http://ocremix.org" as Album Title
  • "Game" as Genre
  • Official album art design

I picked TODAY of all days to go through all my songs, OCR included, and adjust the tags in WMP... why...

But, I love the new design!

This looks very polished. Good work. As far as the new tags, I think it might be helpful if the tags were exported to a spreadsheet so that the community could check for any errors before it is finalized since there have been so many changes. Just a thought.

Very nice album art and the tagging changes are nice. Though I like making the album art be the title screen or box art of the game the ReMix is from. I also change the album title to the game's name. But that's just me. That album art is really nice though........... *squirms from indecision*

I love the new art and the quotes in the titles. I'm tempted to re-download everything, but fear I may undo years worth of rating and library building if I overwrite all my files.

I am however updating the album art and album names as we speak.

There will not be any errors, because I am perfect! In any case, it seems like a headache, BUT I'll think about it.
