auto.tag

## To be used with acxi autotag feature, or any other program that
## supports this autotag file syntax.
## You can generate this file, with prefilled TRACK blocks including
## file names using: acxi --autotag-create -s [recording folder].
## For single disk collections: --autotag-create-single
## will also number the tracks, and add track total.
## NOTE: any item left blank will not create a tag for that item.
## If FILE is left blank, that track file will not be tagged.
## Any collection/recording info item can be used more than 1 time,
## though some shouldn't be. For per track or track block items, reset
## values between track blocks to set the subsequent blocks for the new
## values, like DISCNUMBER%:, PERFORMER%:, DATE%:, YEAR%:
## Check tags: metaflac --list --block-type=VORBIS_COMMENT *.flac
## Check images: metaflac --list --block-type=PICTURE *.flac | grep -A8 -i metadata
## Use -E option to prefill ARTIST, DATE, YEAR, PERFORMER, TITLE fields 
## automatically. Requires specially formatted info.txt file. See man page for
## details.
## NOTE: almost no media players support > 1 tag type the way the specifications 
## say, so multiple values, like GENRE, ARTIST, often fail to work as intended.

## TAG BLOCKS/UNIQUE PER FILE TAGGING
# The default behavior for all non per track specific tags is for the tag to to 
# be applied to all following tags unless that value is replaced by a new value, 
# or if the value 'UNSET' is set for that tag following the last file to use it 
# in a block of tags. 
# 
# To disable this behavior, supply comma separated tag names to be used per file, 
# and unset after each file is tagged. This allows you for instance to set a 
# COMPOSER for a single track. Do not use for any tag that might apply to more 
# than one consecutive file. Use TAGNAME%:UNSET at end of block in that case. 
# TAGBLOCK value only with -Lfa generated auto.tag file.
UNIQUE%:

## COLLECTION/RECORDING NAME/CREATORS ##
ALBUM%:
# name to sort under
ALBUMSORT%:

# them based on the tag. Not same as PERFORMER, which is the people
# who performed the piece, like members of the band.
ARTIST%:

## FILE DISPLAY IMAGES ##
# creates image data in music file: 
# Only default cover type supported due to some glitches I found in metaflac
# implementation. The image path is from where auto.tag is located.
# Sample: IMAGE%:images/cover.jpg
# WARNING: the image file data will be added to each music file, so
# make sure to optimize the picture you are going to add as much as 
# possible, 75% jpeg quality at 3-400px width gives a good quality but 
# small file size. Remove all image data with: --remove-images
# metaflac --remove --block-type=PICTURE,PADDING --dont-use-padding *.flac
# To avoid errors, acxi will only embed an image if none have been embedded.

## TRACK INFO ##
# To make the value of any field above empty use: UNSET as the field value.
#
# TRACKNUMBER and FILE required, title not known?: suggest TITLE%:Unknown 
# IMPORTANT: FILE%: must be last item per track because
# that will trigger the actual writing of the tags/comments to the flac file.
# REPLAYGAIN: When --autotag-create is used, existing REPLAYGAIN tags will 
# be included in the per track block of tags.
# TRACKNUMBER zero padded automatically. This is the per disk track number.
# Some playback devices will not sort correctly if not zero padded.
# FILE is path to file from the directory where auto.tag is located.
# Samples: FILE%:track12.flac or: FILE%:Disc One/track12.flac
# TITLE is track name
# VERSION is extra info on the song, like encore, accoustic, radio edit, 12 inch remix,
# live. Leave blank if no extra info has to be shown.
# Sample: 
# TRACKNUMBER%:4
# TITLE%:The Song We Love
# VERSION%:remix
