A very wise precaution.
The standard (such as it is) defines a way of listing multiple genres in one tag. http://www.id3.org/id3v2.3.0.txt (search for TCON). Slim didn't follow this "standard", which is, in fact, rather inflexible and only applies to genres. Slim used a ";" separator and allows this extension in other places too (e.g. artist). Whether iTunes used the original standard (possible, but not Apple-like), Slims (very unlikely), or their own (most likely) needs to be researched. I don't know. I don't use iTunes. But in my estimation, you can't rely on the standards for this one. It needs actual experience from someone who'se been there. -- Michaelwagner ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Michaelwagner's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=428 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=21243 _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
