I took a look at a long song name again.
I did not find ID3v1 tags at the end, I found APE
tags.
However, and this may be important - it seems
there are inconsistencies in the APE tags, which
is how SlimServer might be picking it up.
Most of my APE tags contain *only* ReplayGain data
added by MP3Gain, which is how it writes it.
However, some of them contain not only ReplayGain
data but title/artist data! It looks the same as
the ID3 data, but I haven't checked every one. If
there's an inconsistency, that could be where it's
coming from.
So the solution would be to use Mp3tag to wipe the
APE tag, then rewrite all ReplayGain APE tags
using MP3Gain. That would ensure all artist/title
data is in ID3v2 and that the APE tags contain
*only* ReplayGain data. That's a long processing
job, but I might do it overnight or something.
I have yet to find an ID3 tag at the end of the
file, but I haven't looked at every one.
Thanks.
