What encode settings do you use when encoding to vorbis?

To be even more precise, we are currently using beta 5.

Starting with C75, the new beta 5.61 of aoyumi's Tuned Vorbis, or aoTuV, will be used.

1. It's great that you take care of correctly tagging all files but do you have any policy about what exactly each field means for you? If you had something like that written, it would be easier for me to automatically convert tags to style I like (e.g. I don't like LABELNO or LABELID, I would use CATALOGNUMBER instead).
2. Also about the “ARTIST” field, most people agree that it should be either “the most prominent person involved” or “who's attributed on the cover”. Do you have any specific rules for choosing ARTIST?
3. Does dōjin music tracks have ISRC's?

1. Yes, we do.
   title = obviously the track title.
   artist = the arranger for arranged tracks, composer when it comes to originals, and occasionally performer when that fits better. In 99% of all cases, the arranger is the one performing as well.
   albumartist = what we use for the circle name, as that is the name of the artist responsible for a compilation. Because circles are closer related to the artists than a label, we felt that the albumartist tag was better fitting than organization.
   convention = the convention an album was released at.
   comiket = comiket with the tag value being a number is what we use if the convention is Comiket, but then we don't use the convention field
   date = release date
   discnumber = disc number of X discs, usually 1/1
   genre = 同人 (doujin) is not really a musical genre, just like indie. However, it's used to label an album as being a doujin music. We occasionally fill in other values too, but defining genres is difficult.
   labelid = catalogue number. We might switch to catalogid in the future, as that'd be more correct.
   originalalbum = the source of an arranged song, could be an album, a game or really anything
   originalartist = the artist that did the original song
   originaltitle = the title of the original song which an arrange is based on. The originaltitle tag is used even if the arranged song bears the same name, because it's practical for search capabilites. All originalinfo can like any other vorbis comment tags be used more than one time; if there for instance is a song based on two different songs, there'll obviously be two different originaltitle tags.
   replaygain_* = ReplayGain volume normalisation values
   tracknumber = track number X of X
   


2. The circle name is usually on the cover, but most doujin releases are still supposed to be thought of as compilations, and the arranger (or in case the track is an original; composer) for each individual track is usually the artist. Most oftenly, they are the ones performing anyway. Some few circles are actually bands (ie. Demetori, 石鹸屋). In those cases, we fill the band name into the artist tag value, and don't use albumartist.


3. Nah, the circles don't use stuff like that
