I remember wanting to say such a thing somewhere two years ago, then I remembered I couldn't be arsed.

That said, to this day, I tagged everything ever of mine, also a selection of songs from 2012 for personal use.

Pretty sure I tag mine if I do the AIF to mp3 conversion in Audacity. If I don't, then I don't.

Thanks. I somehow understood there was an unexplainable exception for acronyms. About the last case I think you mean elision, not contraction though?

There's nothing unexplained about it, it's allowed because it can be confused as part of the acronym, like VSTi.

It's a linguistic gray area where both are right.

Now I'm off making the MP3s format (except not really).

Oh damn, forgot about that. I used to do it back in 2012, completely forgot tagging MP3s was a thing this year...

For the third option, you are utilizing elision to create a contraction tongue
As an aside, I think the possessive form for multiple MP3s would be MP3s'

Admittedly this is not very important in an informal setting lol

I'll stick with MP3s anyway. VSTi should be fucking VSTI. >=)
