Seth Lind- please stop messing up the tags on the "This American Life" podcast.

"Production help from Seth Lind." or "Our production manager today was Seth Lind"

This is what Ira Glass says after each episode of This American Life. As I've said before, I'm a huge dork and I listen to a lot of public radio, especially This American Life. I always make it a point to miss the actual broadcast on the weekend so I can download the podcast, and listen to it at work. Sometimes I don't get around to it right away and I may have several episodes waiting on the player.

Here's the thing though, mp3 players rely on tags to organize files. There's a fair amount of inconsistency in the tags for This American Life. Who do I blame? Seth Lind. I don't know that it's his fault, but his fingerprints are all over it... by which I mean sometimes he tags himself as the artist. Well, actually he sets the 'Artist' field to 'Seth Lind2'. I assume 'Seth Lind1' is the being he was cloned from. Sometimes he gets closer the the mark with 'Chicago Public Radio' or 'This American Life' listed as the artist. The title may or may not have the episode number in it.

I always have to go through and change the tags so they'll be easily found in my mp3 player. Maybe Mr. Lind will be vain enough to Google himself, and he'll run across this. It'd be nice. So, Seth (can I call you Seth?) can you please just decide on a tagging scheme and stick to it? Thanks.
