Frustration the first time that an existing user finds that their perfectly working library no longer gets displayed correctly, then more frustration when they have to find all iffy files, then frustration when they try to find a safe way to edit them ;-)

ID3v2 for MP3, Vorbis for FLAC... Yes. There's no way that id3v2 should override FLAC tags for a flac file. I guess there always used to be a priority order; the only thing that has changed is that missing tags are treated as if they are holes, causing other tags with lower priority to be read through the holes. I guess a tag that is set as blank, is treated as a blank tag, which is not the same as "tag no present". Some tag editors seem to set a tag value to blank, rather than delete the tag when it is set to blank. I can also imagine some users entering a space in a tag, and thinking it's blank. _______________________________________________ beta mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/beta
