ID3 offers several ways of doing this. COMM tags can contain any infomation you want.
Pros: (a) almost every MP3 tagger lets you put stuff in the comment fiend. (b) you can have multiple COMM tags, each with a different subtag and contents Cons: (a) how to act on it isn't well defined (b) no one seems to implement comments the way ID3 describes them, support multiple tags with different descriptors, etc TXXX tags Pros: Not supported by anyone, so they can't get the implmentation wrong :-) Cons: Not supported by anyone :-) Either one of these, at first glance, would seem to support the implementation of, for example, Tag sub-Description Contents TXXX warning Swearing TXXX warning suggestive sexual etc It would be up to slimserver to read such tags (and a tagger program somewhere offline to encode them) and up to some kind of rule interpreter that the user could modify from time to time to decide whether this is a good song to randomly play now or not. I say "at first glance" because I haven't found any good reason to favour one over the other, but there might be something that I overlooked.
