Hi, <br><br>As a publisher, I know that prior to publishing, I can populate my ID3 tags with all sorts of information; but I'm also aware that any end-user can simply delete or modify any of my tags if they so choose. I know that using custom tags can make this a little more difficult, since some tag editors are only capable of deleting fields they recognise and not just ALL ID3 tags, but the potential is still there. <br><br>I'd love it if there was a way to lock a tag somehow, and if any of you know of a way, I'd be glad to hear it, but that's not my main question today...<br><br>I want to add an ISRC code to a product, but I want to know if the ISRC field in ID3 is simply an editible tag that can easily be deleted/modified or if it can act like one of the fixed file attributes like the ones I've just described? <br><br>If you compare it to ISAN, which is a similar system used for video files, all the major video formats have a placeholder for an ISAN code, which is separate from the tags, meaning one can be confident of it remaining as part of the file regardless of any additional tag editing. I want to know if ISRC can be embedded in the same way for audio files? <br><br>I realise this may not really come under the ID3 domain, but I'm hoping some of you could shed some light or point me in the right direction? <br><br>Thanks<br> <br><hr>
