Idea #18048: Creative Commons ID3 Tags in Music Files

Written by punong_bisyonaryo the 15 Feb 09 at 06:43. Related project: Amarok. Status: New
Rationale
Adding Creative Commons license tags in MP3, Ogg, and other audio files, so that when you run Rhythmbox or your favorite music player, you could easily look up the license e.g. BY-SA etc. for your CC music, while at the same time it could display "Copyright NameOfRecordCompany" for non-CC e.g. copyrighted music.

Through this, if you regularly play music in public or use music in commercial projects, you could easily filter which music you can legally use.

Solution #1: Standardize the inclusion of CC tags in music files
Written by punong_bisyonaryo the 15 Feb 09 at 06:43.
The first step to the solution, of course, is to have the main sources of CC distribution such as Jamendo to adopt the practice of embedding CC information with each music file. I am not well-versed in the technology behind it, but it shouldn't be that difficult to implement.

With this framework in place, players such as Rhythmbox, Amarok, and others can easily filter music based on a CC criteria chosen by the user.
