Ultarstar stores metadata about the song (e.g. artist, title, tempo) in the form of tags. Different versions of the game may understand different sets of tags. The common ones are described in the tags section.
Day to day users do not really need to concern themselves with tags when working with Karedi. The application lets you change the standard metadata values from the menu hiding the technical details of the txt format.
To learn how to edit song metadata in a convenient way from the menu, please go to this page.
If you are a more advanced user who likes to work on tags directly you can see the current list of tags with values in Tags editor.
