id3 tags in tunenet

Hi,

I found tunenet unable to display the tags of some files here.
The file was created using grip here (afair, using lame).
Here's the listing of the tags using id3v2 linux tool:

id3v1 tag info for /wd2/mp3/Jethro_Tull/1970-Benefit/10-Sossity,_You're_A_Woman.mp3:

Title : Sossity, You're A Woman Artist: Jethro Tull
Album : Benefit Year: 1970, Genre: Progress. Rock (92)
Comment: Created by Grip Track: 10
id3v2 tag info for /wd2/mp3/Jethro_Tull/1970-Benefit/10-Sossity,_You're_A_Woman.mp3:
TIT2 (Title/songname/content description): Sossity, You're A Woman
TPE1 (Lead performer(s)/Soloist(s)): Jethro Tull
TALB (Album/Movie/Show title): Benefit
TYER (Year): 1970
TRCK (Track number/Position in set): 10
COMM (Comments): (ID3v1 Comment)[XXX]: Created by Grip
TCON (Content type): Progress. Rock (92)

The stuff appears with id3v1 only flags too:

id3v1 tag info for /wd2/mp3/Univers_Z?ro/1979-Heresie/Jack_the_Ripper.mp3:
Title : Jack the Ripper Artist: Univers Z?ro
Album : Heresie Year: 1979, Genre: Progress. Rock (92)
Comment: Track: 0

Any ideas?

Bump...

@Jack

I've had similar issues with MP3 tags. Supposed to be sorted in the next full Tunenet release.

Hope so. Interesting thing: some files are displayed well.

Hopefully Bean can clarify. If I find the thread I'll post a link.

@amipal / Jack,

TuneNet supports ID3V2 tags only at this point in time (for MP3 files). I am looking to extend the support. It is possible that it could be a bit broken with the previous release - I seem to remember having to add work-arounds for certain broken tags (a certain version of iTunes for one) which may cause a few other problems.

I do intend to get back to programming with my A1 very soon now...

Cheers,
Bean.

@bean

If you want the specific samles, I can send you.
No iTunes here.
These are home-made from CDs
(usually grip on linux, or made on A1 and reorganized with Amaraok, and sometimes retagged with UTF8 to make some characters displayed correctly).

BTW: I tried to contact you regarding stuff (lastfm, via pm and email).

Hey, matey, unfortunately, I had to re-build my OS4 partition this weekend gone. (re-did from Scratch) When I try and run that version of Tunenet you installed for me, I am unable to get the skins working, I know there was a problem with this, and you downloaded something to fix it. What was it?

Thanks.

expat.library?

@salass00

I'll bow to your superior knowledge, thank you, will try that tonight.

@salass00

expat.library is for SDK and compiling. I think I saw 'run' tunenet. I think there's some kind of link virus or bug. My tunenet won't play a playlist; it continues to repeat the first song in the list, no matter what the settings are??? I restored the one in backup, and it continues to ingnore settings! Excuse the pun, but it 'sounds' like some kind of link problem. Y/N ?

You're confusing it with libexpat.a (static library).

The file expat.library (shared library) needs to be in LIBS: for programs that use it to work.

Programs that use the OS4 native expat.library include:
svg.datatype
TuneNet (for its skin system)

Hi @salass00
Thanks, oh great Guru, for the info!

Maybe this can solve the entire issue completely?
It's #1 in the list c/c++ implementations on www.id3.org ...

@Jack

wouldn't tunenet need to be open sourced to take advantage of that?
maybe not if it was implemented as a plugin though.
