Library Cataloging
The New Jersey Library Association had a podcasting station at their recent conference. Nice idea. However, they should have paid more attention to the MP3 ID tags. Where were all the catalogers? They had the speakers name as the title and that was it. Where were the artist, album, track, year, comments, and genre? Most of those could be fixed with a global change. Something like mp3tag would do the trick. Its not just MARC anymore.
