That's indeed something that I soon realized. It's pretty amazing because I can't think of anything that could/should be more simple than just adding some name-value pairs to a binary wrapper... The joy of standardization, not! ;p There's still plenty of things that I don't understand: * in MP3Tag I never see any of those 4-letter tags. It just looks like I can write/define whatever tag I want. * even though in MP3Tag I use ID3v2.3 exclusively, I still can add ARTISTSORT which does work with SlimServer, even though it seems like only v2.4 has support for ARTISTSORT (TSOP) * the same remark for PERFORMERSORTORDER which makes sorting work in iTunes/iPod. * I still can't find any official reference to ALBUMARTIST although the forum is full of discussions about it. I also think that that is where I got the knowledge about that tag from. In the meantime I did the WMP/iTunes reverse engineering trick and in fact they do seem to use the same tags mostly : ARTIST, ALBUM, TITLE, BAND (for album artist), COMPOSER, etc... E.g. for track number, WMP just takes the number, while iTunes allows addition of the total number of tracks (e.g. 3/11). Also, WMP doesn't seem to provide any support for sorting, while iTunes uses PERFORMERSORTORDER, ALBUMSORTORDER, etc... The only thing I still have to figure out is which of these tags SS is also using or whether I need to add extra ones (e.g. BAND vs ALBUMARTIST). -- Squid ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Squid's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9073 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=40243 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/ripping
