Proposing custom music metadata

[chemicalcain]

Hey does anybody know stuff about audio track metadata?

I've had an idea rattling around in my head for a while but didn't have an easy and community-based way to organize my thoughts about it. So I am really pleased to see a DW fan coding community pop up! I not only welcome but plead for input on this concept:

I want to build a way to create custom tags on music files.

You know how you can sort by artist, album, year published, and all that, because those are categories embedded in ID3 metadata? I wish ID3 metadata allowed for custom categories. I want to be able to sort my music collection by color, mood, character, and fanfiction trope, to name a few. I think this has huge potential in being able to easily make playlists, fandom or otherwise, that flow smoothly and center around a common theme.

( More details below the cut-- come chat with me! )

kudoscript 1.0

hello!! i hear some people have missed people being able to kudos their stuff when putting fic on dreamwidth

anyway i wrote some code and it is very barebones and requires either a little sysadmin knowledge OR a PHP server on which you can have someone make sure the Imagick and SQLite extensions are installed! But it gives you the ability to drop in a little kudos counter and a link to give kudos anywhere you want for as many unique things as you want.

you can find it here! free to use & modify and do whatever you want with, basically; i aggressively commented it so that it's easy to understand if you want to hack on it.
