General Conference Talks Metadata

Why do the MP3 versions of General Conference talks not have the title of the talk in the Title element of the media information? I am seeing that it usually has the name of the speaker. It already has the name of the speaker in the Artist element. Can we fix this. I have been doing it manually. Very work intensive. There are other elements that are blank that could be filled in also, ie Publisher, Copyright, Language and Date. Thanks. Joe

Disclaimer - I'm definitely not qualified to discuss metadata questions but I do know there are other Forum members who are knowledgeable about these things.

I'll just add that since this Forum serves primarily as user-to-user interaction and self-help, requests to "fix something" are generally not going to be seen by anyone in the Church who might act on that request. The way to get a request like this into the Church is via the Feedback functionality available at the bottom of most Church webpages.

But your post might generate some helpful responses, I know that in the past there's been questions (which at least from my unlearned perspective) have been similar, and other Forum members have provided helpful insight. We'll see...

I think it would be great to change the title. I'm not sure as the other fields you mention would see much use.

For those who wonder what this is about, here's a MP3 with a changed title and "cover art" as displayed on my 10 year old car's factory entertainment system. All the information comes from the MP3 file itself.
