[advocacy] ISRC in Vorbis

[Daniel James]

What if the ISRC tag in Vorbis was used in this way:

The player app has a setting for what kind of user/use, eg

<p>I am listening to this music personally

I am a business user and wish to pay artist royalties via the ISRC system

<p>Alternatively, business users could have a slightly different app with ISRC
support active by default, with built in accounting. Imagine the paperwork
saved at a music radio station!

It could be distributed by the ISRC people themselves as the official digital
music player. In this way, the player could interface with the ISRC back-end
(which I believe already automates royalty payments for ISRC on CD's).

Are there any other audio formats that support ISRC tagging? If not this
could be a key angle for Vorbis gaining industry acceptance.

Cheers

Daniel
