To be pedantic, ID3 V1 has a single byte for genres. Later versions accept free form text. Just like Flac. Sadly a lot of ripping programs still write ID3 V1 format even if they also write a more reasonable later version. And a lot of reading/player programs will use the ID3 V1 tags if they are present, even with later, better and more useful tags are there. ID3 V1 tags are evil. -- Pat http://www.pfarrell.com/music/slimserver/slimsoftware.html _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/ripping
