Search in user created ID3v2 tags

Tue Jan 17, 2012 6:47 pm
Hello!

Is there way to search in user created ID3v2 tags?

Why do I need this feature?
I have a big music collection. My family members have similar preferences. Because of that we keep all our music in one place in this structure: .../Music/Artist/Album/. But, for example, there are songs that are liked by me, but not by others. I have thought about this and decided, that I can create an additional tag "owner" in all files which is contain list of people. Than, set filter to "owner:Roman" and listen appropriate music. But it seems, that Amarok doesn't support those tags (http://userbase.kde.org/Amarok/Manual/Organization/Collection/SearchInCollection).
I've thought that I can create this kind of structure: .../Music/Roman/Artist/Album (.../Music/Common/Artist/Common etc.). But this structure is very complicated, it's hard to move all the time music through folders, and similar songs can be placed in a distant folders.
I've saw "labels", but they stored in database. This is great for 1 PC, but we have different computers.

Are there anothers methods to do this?

How about one single database then?


Running Kubuntu 22.10 with Plasma 5.26.3, Frameworks 5.100.0, Qt 5.15.6, kernel 5.19.0-23 on Ryzen 5 4600H, AMD Renoir, X11
FWIW: it's always useful to state the exact Plasma version (+ distribution) when asking questions, makes it easier to help ...

Thank you for the answer, but only I use GNU/Linux (openSUSE). I've installed Amarok for Windows, it's too big (0.4 GiB on HDD and 0.2 GiB in RAM). I know, why it's so big (because of all dependences) and that Amarok itself has normal size. So, they dislike this solution.

I've understood that it's impossible now to use user created tags and decided to use tag "comment" for those purposes. But I want to automatize operation, so see my topic in development thread: viewtopic.php?f=115&t=98661.
