[QUOTE="FDuenas, post: 1039628, member: 144711"] [SIZE=4][URL='https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/members/hwahrmann.10391/']Hi hwahrmann:[/URL][/SIZE] [SIZE=4]I'm an Old user of ID3-TagIT :) and have seen this MP3Tag-This Is like an updated and very improved version of that old program. But I have experimented the same issues as user Heina for Multiple Genres[B]. [/B] [B][/B] I tested some different tag editors (ID-tag it, TagScanner, TagAndRename, JetAudio and Windows 7 Explorer tag editor (File Properties/Details) And encounter the same issues after using the MP3-TagThat. I know maybe you are stright attattched to the ID3v2 2.3 and 2.4 standards, and maybe seems to be (ID3.org is down, and could find the specifications of how to separate multiple genres) but this is what I have found: - When using Mp3-tagThat with ID3v2 2.3 UTF-16 and UTF-8 The genres seems to be separated by Null values and the know genres code are surrounded by '(' and ')', example. Swing which value is 83, it is stored as: (83), and if I have 'Swing/Easy Listening/Ballad' it will be stored as: (83)(98)(116) which maybe the NULL character (00) is between them After changing a file with your program when opening wiht the other tag editors it looks 1) ID3-Tag it: (83)(98)(116) , and also when editing them with Tag 2 editor they're put as 'undefined'. But hat could be an issue of ID3-Tagit 2) TagScanner 5.1.643 : Swing (the other genres are discarded) 3) Tag&Rename 3.7.5: Swing (the other genres are discarded) 4) JetAudio 8.1.x: Swing (the other genres are discarded) 5) Windows 7 Explorer tag editor: Swing (98)(116) [SIZE=4]When using Mp3-tagThat with ID3v2 2.4 UTF-16 and UTF-8 The genres seems to be separated by the '/' and the known genre codes are NOT surrounded by '(' and ')', example. Swing which value is 83, it is stored as: 83, and if I have 'Swing/Easy Listening/Ballad' it will be stored as: 83/98/116 After changing a file with your program when opening with the other tag editors it looks 1) ID3-Tag it: 83/98/116, and also when editing them with Tag 2 editor they're are well separated in each item: 83 98 Ballad The first two are not detected with its names 2) TagScanner 5.1.643 : 83/98/116 (the genre names are not displayed) 3) Tag&Rename 3.7.5: 83/98/116 (the genre names are not displayed) 4) JetAudio 8.1.x: 83 (the genre names are not displayed and the other genres are discarded) 5) Windows 7 Explorer tag editor: Swing (the other genres are discarded)[/SIZE] So does the Genre code wont be surrounded by '()' in ID3v2 2.4? I know maybe all those editors could have their issues, but also some media players will, so what I want to suggest is to have some extra settings that could relax those issues with other editors and media players including hardware: [B]1) To specify the genre separators for IDv2 2.3 and 2.4, a config for each one, that could be NULL, '/' or custom[/B] [B]2) To specify if the Genre will be stored ad Code number or the Name of the Genre[/B] [B]3) A setting to preserve the ID3V2 tag version, if it already exists, so if I alredy have a tag 2.3, and my default setting is 2.4, to preserve the 2.3, or viceversa and make a tool to copy or convert between tag versions, like Id3-Tagit has it. (F7 function)[/B] [B]4) Add a column to show the tag ID3 V1 and V2 version in the file list.[/B] Hope at least points 1 and 2 could be taken. [B]Thanks and congrat for this good program; I will make a donation to contribute you for this great work.[/B][/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
