[QUOTE="FDuenas, post: 1039661, member: 144711"] BTW I have looked up for the ID3v2 2.3 and 2.4 specirfications and since Id3.org is down for unknown reasons I have looked up in the web. On Github some oen uploaded the specifcations publised in id3 .org ID3v2 2.3 [url]https://github.com/id3/ID3v2.3[/url] [url]https://github.com/id3/ID3v2.3/blob/master/id3v2.3.0.txt[/url] It says the specifications for genres muts be: TCON The 'Content type', which previously was stored as a one byte numeric value only, is now a numeric string. You may use one or several of the types as ID3v1.1 did or, since the category list would be impossible to maintain with accurate and up to date categories, define your own. References to the ID3v1 genres can be made by, as first byte, enter "(" followed by a number from the genres list (appendix A.) and ended with a ")" character. This is optionally followed by a refinement, e.g. "(21)" or "(4)Eurodisco". Several references can be made in the same frame, e.g. "(51)(39)". If the refinement should begin with a "(" character it should be replaced with "((", e.g. "((I can figure out any genre)" or "(55)((I think...)". The following new content types is defined in ID3v2 and is implemented in the same way as the numerig content types, e.g. "(RX)". RX Remix CR Cover --------------------------------------------------------------------- Here it doesn't mention what separator has to be used. So I understand that the '()' will be used to enclose and '(()', when the genre begins with a '(' in the name. And [U][B]But TCON is not mentioned[/B][/U] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ID3v2 2.4 [url]https://github.com/id3/ID3v2.4[/url] [url]https://github.com/id3/ID3v2.4/blob/master/id3v2.4.0-frames.txt[/url] 2.4 spec says: TCON The 'Content type', which ID3v1 was stored as a one byte numeric value only, is now a string. You may use one or several of the ID3v1 types as numerical strings, or, since the category list would be impossible to maintain with accurate and up to date categories, define your own. Example: "21" $00 "Eurodisco" $00 You may also use any of the following keywords: RX Remix CR Cover So I think 2.4 maybe is correct, but 2.3 could have some problems Regards [/QUOTE]
