[ID3 Dev] Genre suggestion

[Jim]

Maybe what would be best is some kind of generic "rating" frame?  It could
have numerical (or text) values that could mean whatever you want them
to...whether that would be a content rating system (like 1 = G, 2 = PG, 3 =
R, etc or simply 0=suitable for all, 1 = adults only) or a quality rating
system (like a standard 1 stars, 2 stars, etc) or anything else you wanted
to use it for.

Then players could probably easily add some features to allow you to select
or play songs/files based on the rating values you choose.  Since it could
have any meaning, it would be more useful than just a parental filter,
although it wouldn't be included in any of the online databases (which I
would personally not want anyway).

(Does the ID3v2 spec already define a rating frame?  I admit I don't know if
it does or not.  And this could probably be easily achieved using a user
defined text frame too.)
