Thanks fren! Yeah, it should be freely readable. I suppose it might depend on the software being used to tag the file. In my case Mp3tag is used widely and is designed for: “… batch tag-editing of ID3v1, ID3v2.3, ID3v2.4, iTunes MP4, WMA, Vorbis Comments and APE Tags … covering a variety of audio formats.” “… it supports online database lookups from Discogs, MusicBrainz or freedb … to automatically gather proper tags and download cover art.” That’s from their site. So the goal is for the metadata to be widely available and readable, as long as the reader/ player uses the proper formats. And, hey thanks so much for collecting!! 😃🙏🏼🫶🏻✨
