Music Tagging and the PC

What is a Tag?

Most digitally encoded file formats allow information particular to each file to be embedded

within the file itself. This information is referred to as metadata and is included within what is

known as a tag. A tag can include a multitude of information of which can contain but is not

limited to artist, album, track, year, genre, and cover art.

FireBall’s Tag Requirements

In order for the Fireball to properly display all artist/album/track/cover art metadata once the

music file(s) have been imported, the file must first contain a proper tag embedded within the

music file itself. Different types of tags are used depending on the file format being imported.

The following list describes the corresponding tag which each music format requires.

• MP3 (ID3 Version 1.0, 1.1, 2.2, and 2.3)

• FLAC (Ogg Vorbis)

• WMA (Microsoft Standardized)

• AAC (Apple Standardized)

In order to for your music files to import properly all tracks must include an artist name, album

name, track name, track #, and genre (group). Tracks which are to remain as a single album

once imported need to have an identical artist name, album name, genre, along with a unique

track # (i.e. 1, 2, 3, etc.) per track.

Cover Art

In order for Fireball to display cover art for your imported music files or when shared through

the Fireball-PC application, the cover art must be embedded within the tag information of each

track. All embedded cover art must be under 50KB in size and under 500x500 pixels in

resolution in order to be recognize by FireBall.

Tag Editors

Mp3tag is our current recommended PC tag editor and handles each of the above mentioned

file formats. You may even use Mp3tag to embed cover art within your music files. Mp3tag can

be downloaded from the following location. http://www.mp3tag.de/en/.

Apple iTunes is another common alternate PC tag editor. Follow these steps to convert your

MP3 files to use ID3v2.3 tags BEFORE importing them to your FireBall.

1. Select the Library in the iTunes Source list.

2. Type Ctrl+A to select all of the Songs in your Library.
