I would favor the support for #AUDIO (in addition to #MP3 for backwards compatibility). If USDX and others implement support, they could convert #MP3 to #AUDIO on save. The Syncer could convert it as well, but ideally usdb would support it as well so that it’s adoption spreads.
(related: why not use #VOCALS and #INSTRUMENTAL instead of the longer #VOCALAUDIO and #INSTRUMENTALAUDIO?)
For Karaoke #INSTRUMENTAL, #KARAOKE or #KARAOKEAUDIO would be nice
VOCALS makes no sense to me
This discussion has its own issue: https://github.com/UltraStar-Deluxe/format/issues/20
Please use this issue here only for "#AUDIO as alternative to #MP3".
Thanks for your discussion. So we have a consens here. ✅
I've put #AUDIO to the Overview Version spreadsheet mentioned in #31 .
Lets write a conclusion as the completed message so it doesnt get lost in translation :)
So here are the final results for this issue.
We add this tag in version 1.1.0:
#AUDIO: Artist - Title of the song.mp3
We deprecate this tag in version 1.1.0:
#MP3: Artist - Title of the song.mp3
The description in the spec (website) is:
AUDIO
Definies the audio file that contains the whole music in one (consisting of VOCALS (the singers voice(s)) and INSTRUMENTAL(S). This is the new tag for the deprecated #MP3 tag.
Suggestion
Historically, the
#MP3
header field is used to specify the audio file.However, mp3 files are not the only supported audio format.
Thus, one could argue that
#AUDIO
would be a better name for the field.But this could only be done as an alternative to
#MP3
to not break compatibility with the thousands of existing txt files.So there is no clear winner:
What do you think?
Use case
For newbies and tutorials, it might be more intuitive to use and show #AUDIO instead of #MP3. But it is only a minor issue.
