I did a quick check of the new version, as I'd tried the old version a while back and this claims to have been a near-re-write. It's incorrectly encoding its ID3v2.3 tags and thus may play incorrectly on MP3 players. Specifically, where an ID3v2.3 APIC frame is encoded (cover art embedded within the file) it does not take steps to apply the unsynchronisation scheme (ID3v2.3 section 5, whose use is indicated by bit 7 of the ID3v2 tag flags, described in section 3.1). Without such unsynchronisation playback may result in static, blips or other undesired artifacts at the start of the track at best, and for players which cannot cope with malformed MP3 frames may result in crashes or other undesireable behaviour. The TCOM (composers) frame value is incorrectly formed. It is using CR (byte 13) to indicate delimited frames. The correct separator is a '/' character (section 4.2.1, frame 'TCOM'). -- gerph ------------------------------------------------------------------------ gerph's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1819 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=31115 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
