Hi If have downloaded a certain mp3 file form the Internet. "Terry Jacks' Season in the Sun" It has illegal charcters in the mp3-id-tags for artist, album, title & comment. With mp3info I can set correct "looking" ones. But when adding this mp3-file with gnupod_addsong to my mounted ipod-shuffle, then the next add of a correct mp3-song gives an error. Also I can not make a new ITuneDB getting also an error (without adding a further mp3 file).
The reason seems that in /mnt/ipod/iPod_Control/.gnupod/GNUtunesDB.xml the Terry Jacks-song added an xml-enty with illegal characters. Do you want to have this misterious mp3-file which caused the script to fail? Errormessage: not well-formed (invalid token) at line 90, column 140, byte 31402 at /usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8/x86_64-linux/XML/Parser.pm line 187 You see I use Perl-5.8.8 on an x86-64 Linux-(2.6.23 Kernel) running Gentoo-Distri. I wonder why I can not remove these illegal values with mp3info ? They seem to be invisible for mp3info :-/ I changed the mp3-tags already and it now looks like: ># mp3info -x -F "Seasons In The Sun.mp3" File: Seasons In The Sun.mp3 Title: Seasons In The Sun Track: 10 Artist: Terry Jacks Album: Seasons In The Sun Year: Comment: PapaStalade By Laurentiu Genre: [255] Media Type: MPEG 1.0 Layer III Audio: 128 KB/s, 44KHz (joint stereo) Emphasis: none CRC: No Copyright: No Original: Yes Padding: Yes Length: 3:24 but when adding with gnupod_addsong.pl I get the following output: # gnupod_addsong.pl -m /mnt/ipod/ * gnupod_addsong.pl Version 0.98.3 (C) Adrian Ulrich + [MP3 ][ 1] Seasons In The Sun | PapaStalin | Terry Jacks > Writing new XML File, added 1 file(s) These looks like the old original mp3-id3-tags and this is the new added entry in GNUtunesDB.xml: <file addtime="3299864973" album="PapaStalin" artist="Terry Jacks" bitrate="128" cdnum="0" cds="0" comment="æ~U®æ~_¿ï¹~Id3v1ÿï¹~Made By Laurentiu:[EMAIL PROTECTED]@[EMAIL PROTECTED]@[EMAIL PROTECTED]@[EMAIL PROTECTED]@[EMAIL PROTECTED]@[EMAIL PROTECTED]@[EMAIL PROTECTED]@[EMAIL PROTECTED]@[EMAIL PROTECTED]@[EMAIL PROTECTED]@[EMAIL PROTECTED]@[EMAIL PROTECTED]@[EMAIL PROTECTED] PapaStalin" composer="" fdesc="MPEG 1 layer 3 file" filesize="3269693" genre="Oldies" id="87" path=":iPod_Control:Music:f01:1_Seasons_In_The_Sun.mp3" playcount="0" songnum="0" songs="0" soundcheck="" srate="44100" time="204329" title="Seasons In The Sun" year="2004" /> If I correct all these cryptic entries, then everything works fine. But I wonder why mp3info this can not and later the gnupod_tools fails.
