Most tagging applications are too specific. They assume that they know what kind of files you are trying to organize and what metadata is important. Mebitag is meant to accomodate any possible tagging scheme. Each entry has an arbitrarily long array of categories and each category has an arbitrarily long array of tags. Tags, categories, entries and the file paths and players that go with them can all be chosen by you. The XML structure is easy to understand but the GTK UIs should make it even easier.

Implement id3 tags using mebitag:

<mebitag>

<entry name="Fuel" path="/music/fuel.mp3" player="mplayer -ao jack">

<Title>

<tag>Fuel</tag>

</Title>
<Artist>

<tag>Metallica</tag>

</Artist>
<Album>

<tag>ReLoad</tag>

</Album>
<Year>

<tag>1997</tag>

</Year>
<Track>

<tag>1</tag>

</Track>
<Genre>

<tag>Hard Rock</tag>

</Genre>
<Comment>

<tag>Give me Fuel. Give me Fire.</tag>

</Comment>

</entry>
