Which musicplayer ?

[tkgafs]

tkgafs, just been looking around based on a comment that you made about ML2. That tag you mentioned, TCMP, if you look in the ID3 specification it doesn't actually exist, it's apparently an Apple itunes thing.

I was looking at supporting this tag, but the library (UltraID3) that I use doesn't recognise it.

not that it matters really but it was lilyoda who mentioned the tag

Mmmm, yes and no
Yes it's an Apple tag, but it's still part of the ID3 normalized tag structure

4.2.6. User defined text information frame

This frame is intended for one-string text information concerning the
audio file in a similar way to the other "T"-frames. The frame body
consists of a description of the string, represented as a terminated
string, followed by the actual string. There may be more than one
"TXXX" frame in each tag, but only one with the same description.

<Header for 'User defined text information frame', ID: "TXXX">
Text encoding $xx
Description <text string according to encoding> $00 (00)
Value <text string according to encoding>

Apple started by adding their "TCMP" flag to define what's part of a compilation, and it seems more and more players are reading that tag (I just googled for "TCMP ID3" and there's many hits for different MP3 players)

That blows :-(

Jeff,

Are you still actively developing musicplayer? It works great and is the only one I use. The only thing I find missing is the ability to download album art. Unfortunately I use iTunes now and it puts the album art in the tag instead of a jpg in the directory. Or is there a way/utility to strip the art out of the tag and put it in the directory?

use "the godfather" to look up album art from amazon and save it as folder.jpg

tkgafs, would it be possible for you to send a file that has that tag in it, something small to david dot cole at paradise dot net dot nz
