In the "big OS" world, virtually everything does deal with IDv2.3... I find ID3v1.1 only comes in handy for consumer electronic devices.

ID3v2.4 was somewhat still-born, partially because the original id3lib never added support for it... so it was universally ignored initially. I personally find the .4 version more "open to interpretation" than .3, but that's my opinion... :) -- grommet ------------------------------------------------------------------------ grommet's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=5959 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=26483 _______________________________________________ beta mailing list beta@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/beta
