Package: libmp3-tag-perl
Version: 1.00-1
Severity: normal
While looking through /usr/share/perl5/MP3/Tag/ID3v2.pm, it looks like UTF8
encoding for tags is supported. However, libmp3-tag-perl doesn't seem to
support ID3 v2.4, only v2.3 is supported. But v2.3 doesn't support UTF8
encoding, only v2.4 does. So setting the encoding to UTF8 in libmp3-tag-perl
is pointless and wrong.
Regards,
Tino

I asked upstream about this. His response, which he is going to add
to the docs of the next version:
: What is true is that 2.3 and 2.4 have differences in two areas:
:
: layout of information in the byte stream (or a file considered as a string)
:
: semantic of frames is extended in 2.4 - more frames are defined, and
: more frame flags are defined too.
:
: MP3::Tag does not even try to *write* frames in 2.4-layout. However,
: when *reading* the frames, MP3::Tag does not assume any restriction on
: the semantic of frames - it allows all the semantical extensions
: defined in 2.4 even for 2.3 (and, probably, for 2.2) layout.
:
: [*] And, I expect, any sane program would do the same...
:
: Likewise, when writing frames, there is no restriction on semantic.
: If user specifies a frame the meaning of which is defined only in 2.4,
: we would happily write it even when we use 2.3 layout. Same for frame
: flags. (And given the assumption [*], this is a correct thing to do...)
This makes sense to me (Postel's Law, plus the general unix principle
of "give the user enough rope" :), so I'm closing this bug.
See also "Problems with ID3 format" in the MP3::Tag manpage.
cheers,
Ian.
