Fan-Coded

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.
