I need some advice on what to name the ID3 Tags

I've been experimenting with new ID3 tags (iTunes "song" info) for the shows, and I was wanting to know what you think it should look like? I'm trying to keep both the podcast listener and the web browerser audience in mind.

Since Podcasting is such a new genre, all the rules and conventions are being inveted as we all go along. So I'm asking YOU my dedicated fans, what should the tags look like? I changed the tags on todays show, to allow the file name to come first, then the show's title and then the guests scroll across the iPod screen. Then I took out the redundant information, so you can easily find the show you're looking for on your iPod. Third, I made the guest searchable, since you can only search song title, artist, composer and album tags in iTunes.

Thanks to Adam Baker, Richard Bluestein, and Jason Smith for your help in getting this far.

Any comments, suggestions and ideas would be great!

Since I got my iPod, I have some fresh ideas for naming schemes. I think that for the 'artist' line you should keep it to Fausto Fern�s, for the 'album' line you should start it off with the date (yyyy/mm/dd or even yy/mm/dd) and maybe add the guests' names after it, and for the 'title' or 'song name' line you could have the title of the show followed by the guests' names too. Just a thought.
