Tagging
What kind of metadata/id4 tags do you guys wish podficcers would use? Are you retagging stuff after you download? If you podfic, what tagging scheme do you use?
The one thing I really wish people would do which I'm really not seeing is, if they record a series, I wish they would tag all of the parts as belonging to one album and set the track numbers so the series plays in order.
Some other stuff I long for: the reader to be set as the artist (I usually set the author as the composer). The genre to be set to speech, which makes my mp3 player more likely to recognize something as an audiobook. Something to be put in the URL field, either the amplificathon announcement, the audiofic archive listing, or a text version of the story.
What would make podfic work better on your listening device of choice?

My file manager allows changing the icon one uses, or adding a subicon (emblem) to a file, and I'm thinking about using that to indicate the fandom. It also provides a notes property where it might be convenient to put that stuff. The weird thing is, I'm really consistent about using the notes property for my vids, but much more lackadaisical with podfic. I think I never expected to keep a lot of podfic, and now I have so much, going backward and being methodical seems like a big pane in the butt.
