gerph, thanks for the reply. I understand what you're saying, but I'm really looking for SlimServer's behavior.
I see what mean about the semantic differences between v2.3 and v2.4, but that would seem to be mostly a parsing issue. Like you say, there's no reason why a TSOP tag appearing within an ID3v2.3 tag couldn't be accepted, but it's up to the application. And no reason why tags, including those used by Flac, within TXXX frames couldn't be accepted similarly. So that's why I'd like to find out how SlimServer handles them. I would NOT expect non-standard acceptance of tags to change in the future unless there's a really good reason to do so. I'm in the process of retagging a number of mp3 files that I have and need to balance the better flexibility of ID3v2.4 with applications and devices that may not read v2.4 tags. I suspect that not too many apps will choke if they encountered an unknown ID3v2.4 frame in an ID3v2.3 tag, nor should they have problems if they see something in a TXXX frame. Then I have to balance this with the capabilities and the quirks of the tagging software that I'm using. -- JJZolx Jim ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=29618 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
