Age,

There is no fixed set of tags to be stored in the comment header -- the tags
are completely free-form, so you can tag what you like.

Having said that, there is a recommended list of standard field names and
their use in the Ogg Vorbis Comment Header Specification:
http://xiph.org/ogg/vorbis/doc/v-comment.html

It should be emphasised (as is indeed done in the specification) that this
list is simply a recommendation, for ease of interoperability, but is by no
means compulsory.

<p>I hope this makes things clear for you.

Dani

Hi,

Is there a fixed set of vorbis tags to be stored in ogg files (artist, 
title, etc.) or are all tags names left open?
I wasn't able to find this in the provided documentation on the xiph.org 
ogg vorbis site.
If there are fixed tags could you provide me with a link to a site which 
gives all the tag names and a description?

Cheers,

Age Bosma
