Hello, I'm just wondering how do people manage the Precursors' remixes in a large music library (what comments do you assign)? The current vorbis-comments in the remix packages are incosistent between each other, so I'm currently putting them the way I described below (to better integrate with other oggs in library). Comments and suggestions welcome.
(Also trying to follow the guidelines here: http://www.gophernet.org/articles/vorbiscomment.html and here: http://reference.reactor-core.org/ogg-tagging.html )
Artist: the remixer (multiply ARTIST tags, if we have more than 1 precursors here)
Ensemble: "The Precursors Team"
Composer: the original track author, if we have a remix (e.g. composer="Dan Nicholson" artist="Jouni Airaksinen" for the druuge remix)
Version: either "UQM Original" or "UQM Remix"
Date: the remix package release date (should this instead be the date remix was made?)
Album: The Ur-Quan Masters Soundtrack [X]: [Subtitle], as seen on the graphical cover pics, e.g. "The Ur-Quan Masters Soundtrack II: Neutral Aliens, Don't Shoot!"
Track Number: the track number in the package as seen on the precursors' website
Title: theme name + the title (as seen on the precursors' website) separated by ":" for example - "Shipyard: Rough Repair" or "VUX: Ultra-Gross!"
I also preserve "Encoded-by" and "Comment" and other misc. tags untouched, if they're present in the track.
The Genre field is rather ambiguous, so I put multiply GENRE tags, including the genres, which I think the songs belong to + "GENRE=Soundtrack".
I also wonder, what to put into "copyright" and "license" fields, what's the license for the remixes??

Wow! Someone spending a ridiculous amount of time on something only marginally useful! I'm all for that! 
Date: the remix package release date (should this instead be the date remix was made?)
The release date is always the way to go. Nobody cares when Beatles wrote "A Day in the Life", it was *released* in 1967.
I also wonder, what to put into "copyright" and "license" fields, what's the license for the remixes?? I think that the songs are compyrighted by their respective composers, and are to be distributed with the Ur-Quan Masterrs, but it would be best to ask TiLT or VOiD directly.
I think the copyright resides with the individual remixer(s) on the remixes. They don't have to be distributed with UQM; on the Precursors home page you can download individual tracks without downloading the game.
I may have some details wrong, if that's the case I call upon some of the great old ones around here. Luki? Meepy? You know anything more about the copyright issues?
EDIT: Here's what the Wikipedia has to say:
Under what license is the game released?
The code is released under the GNU General Public License]. The content (the graphics, sounds, and music) will likely be released under something similar, but exactly which one hasn't been decided yet. For now, the license says "The content may be copied freely as part of a distribution of The Ur-Quan Masters."

Me?You mean me,personally? How nice of you to ask!

If you're hardcore enough, you will remove all the tags and remember artists, composers, song titles, all release dates by heart.
