[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1284152, member: 141969"] Thank you for the link to the ID3 tag summary -- I have bookmarked it. (y) :) I suspect that the BBC chose the "comment" tag to hold the programme description on the basis that it was the most-appropriate tag of those available. But as it is not formally a "description" tag, what other content providers place in that tag is somewhat unpredictable. :( After writing my previous post, I looked at what was shown for some CDs that I had converted to FLAC files; they show this: [INDENT]fre:ac - free audio converter <[URL]https://www.freac.org/[/URL]>[/INDENT] This information is not "wrong", but it is probably not information that most people would want to see when using their HTPC. On the other hand, users who often download and play BBC podcasts probably [i]do[/i] want to see the programme description. Hmm, a difficult choice, I think. o_O -- from CyberSimian in the UK [/QUOTE]
