Aha...
I was looking through my collection trying to find
something to send you. I looked through
SlimServer and it didn't take me long to find a
truncated name.
Just to make sure everything was OK with it, I
checked it with Mp3tag. And what do you know,
Mp3tag indicated that the tag itself was truncated!
Since I check all my tags, I am certain I wasn't
the one truncating it - it was correct when I
tagged it. However, it was only recently I
started removing ID3v1 tags and writing ID3v2 tags.
So I suspect these came about when I didn't know
the difference between ID3v1 and ID3v2 tags. They
got truncated when writing the tags and only now
that I'm writing ID3v2 tags can I correct them.
Mp3tag seems to cache the text entry within a
session so you can write an over-30-character
ID3v1 tag and have it show up properly, but it's
not written properly and the next time you open
the program it's truncated.
Every single truncated tag I'm seeing now can be
corrected by writing ID3v2 tags. Displays
correctly in both SlimServer and Mp3tag.
So thanks for the help everyone, and I'm sorry if
I misled anybody. But I did learn something and I
hope someone else did too - get rid of those evil
ID3v1 tags!
