That's your personal data, not the song metadata per se. IMO track tags should only include as much info as can be found on, say, MusicBrainz. Things like genre, tags, comments, rate or whatever should be stored in ones personal database. > very usefull while using few programs that manage the same mp3s ( i > experience this, because i'm using gtkpod for the ipod, but the ratings set > with rhythmbox are not recognized) But different programs use different formats to store rate. There is no standard here. I think the best way to store such data is to use eg. Tracker and make all music applications query it for additional data (that is all personal data, not found in the tags). There has already been proposition for integrating Tracker with Rhythmbox (or the other way round) [1]. In my opinion it is a good idea, but not necessarily the way it was said in the mentioned article. I don't want to see all my music files in Rhythmbox - only those that are of fair quality (tag-wise). I store them in a separate folder than the untagged/badly-tagged ones. But at least storing metadata there is a good idea. The only question is whether we should go Tracker-dependent or could we reuse some spec like Xesam to allow cross-operability.
