<DIV><FONT face=Calibri>Hello,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Calibri>I'm a software developer but I'm not at all experienced
with id3 tagging system from a developer's perspective.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Calibri>I'm facing a problem as a user and I just wanted to
share that problem and propose how I want it to be solved.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Calibri>I'm Egyptian so part of my mp3s collection is for
Egyptian and Arab artists. The problem is with the songs, albums titles and
artists names. I'd like to see them in Arabic.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Calibri>I know that this is possible with unicode and for sure
that works quite well for me.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Calibri>I'm talking about storing the names in multiple
languages, like having an artist's name in arabic and english and also to allow
for multiple spellings.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Calibri>For example, I have an artist called " <B><FONT
color=#000080 size=3>أم كلثوم</B></FONT>" and in English she has several
spellings like Um Kalthoum, Om Kalsoum and several others.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Calibri>I'd like to be able to search in my music library with
any of these names.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Calibri>So what I'm suggesting is to enable aliases for
different standard fields and to be able to specify their languages
too.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Calibri>What do you think?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Calibri></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Calibri>Regards,</FONT></DIV>
