This suggestion may be naïve, but wouldn't it be possible to create some
sort of "tagging scheme" configuration, in the spirit of the format
transcoding configuration?

This "tagging scheme" would permit to create tag mapping on the fly. 

It could be in a dumb way:
For every type of file (flac, mp3, m4a), or type of tag format (id3v1,
id3v2.x, vorbis comment) the user could map every given tag (standard
and evolved... and why not personnal tags) to a given known
SqueezeCenter tag.

Or in a more evolved way:
- Scanner record every tag found in  every file of the user music
library, store them in the database (tag name/type not tag value)
- User is then prompted to map those dynamically found tags type to a
given known SqueezeCenter tag (a multiple "select box" with "found
tags", "squeezecenter tags" and "add" "remove" button could do the
trick.

In either case, it would be interesting to create default "tagging
scheme" for the basic user. "Pop/rock tagging scheme", "classical
tagging scheme", "itunes tagging scheme", "windows media player tagging
scheme", "picard tagging scheme". The user could then freely customize a
given pre-made tagging scheme.

I think it's important to keep in mind that there is no such thing as
"the good solution". So, giving the user the power to decide (or to use
multiple predefined settings) is the only way to get everybody happy.

Is this a dream?
