Also note that many music tagging programs don't support or populate many of these tags.
In any case here is a list of tags supported by MPD (from the development branch documentation) with the subset of tags supported by moode marked in Orange.
The following tags are supported by MPD:
artist: the artist name. Its meaning is not well-defined; see “composer” and “performer” for more specific tags.
artistsort: same as artist, but for sorting. This usually omits prefixes such as “The”.
album: the album name.
albumsort: same as album, but for sorting.
albumartist: on multi-artist albums, this is the artist name which shall be used for the whole album. The exact meaning of this tag is not well-defined.
albumartistsort: same as albumartist, but for sorting.
title: the song title.
titlesort: same as title, but for sorting.
track: the decimal track number within the album.
name: a name for this song. This is not the song title. The exact meaning of this tag is not well-defined. It is often used by badly configured internet radio stations with broken tags to squeeze both the artist name and the song title in one tag.
genre: the music genre.
mood: the mood of the audio with a few keywords.
date: the song’s release date. This is usually a 4-digit year.
originaldate: the song’s original release date.
composer: the artist who composed the song.
composersort: same as composer, but for sorting.
performer: the artist who performed the song.
conductor: the conductor who conducted the song.
work: “a work is a distinct intellectual or artistic creation, which can be expressed in the form of one or more audio recordings”
ensemble: the ensemble performing this song, e.g. “Wiener Philharmoniker”.
movement: name of the movement, e.g. “Andante con moto”.
movementnumber: movement number, e.g. “2” or “II”.
showmovement: If this tag is set to “1” players supporting this tag will display the work, movement, and movementnumber` instead of the track title.
location: location of the recording, e.g. “Royal Albert Hall”.
grouping: “used if the sound belongs to a larger category of sounds/music” (from the IDv2.4.0 TIT1 description).
comment: a human-readable comment about this song. The exact meaning of this tag is not well-defined.
disc: the decimal disc number in a multi-disc album.
label: the name of the label or publisher.
musicbrainz_artistid: the artist id in the MusicBrainz database.
musicbrainz_albumid: the album id in the MusicBrainz database.
musicbrainz_albumartistid: the album artist id in the MusicBrainz database.
musicbrainz_trackid: the track id in the MusicBrainz database.
musicbrainz_releasegroupid: the release group id in the MusicBrainz database.
musicbrainz_releasetrackid: the release track id in the MusicBrainz database.
musicbrainz_workid: the work id in the MusicBrainz database.
There can be multiple values for some of these tags. For example, MPD may return multiple lines with a performer tag. A tag value is a UTF-8 string.
Other Metadata
The response to lsinfo and similar commands may contain song tags and other metadata, specifically:
duration: the duration of the song in seconds; may contain a fractional part.
Time: like duration, but as integer value. This is deprecated and is only here for compatibility with older clients. Do not use.
Range: if this is a queue item referring only to a portion of the song file, then this attribute contains the time range in the form START-END or START- (open ended); both START and END are time stamps within the song in seconds (may contain a fractional part). Example: 60-120 plays only the second minute; “180 skips the first three minutes.
Format: the audio format of the song (or an approximation to a format supported by MPD and the decoder plugin being used). When playing this file, the audio value in the status response should be the same.
Last-Modified: the time stamp of the last modification of the underlying file in ISO 8601 format. Example: “2008-09-28T20:04:57Z”
added 13: the time stamp when the file was added in ISO 8601. A negative value means that this is unknown/unavailable. Example: “2023-11-25T13:25:07Z”
Thank you so much! I will tinkering with this, i'm always willing to improve my library.
