yeah, mp3tag also doesn't seem to natively support "albumartist"
the weird thing is the newest winamp IS supposed to support replaygain, but i don't see it in winamp either. i use both 1.1 and 2.3 id tags for my mp3s. i downloaded ur suggestion, LameTagGUI and tried it out... its petty sweet, if what it says is true. here are the results for one of my AC-DC files: > >lametag.exe "AC-DC - 01 - It's A Long Way To The Top (If You Wanna Rock > 'N' Roll).mp3" > > LameTag - Reads the LAME tag from an mp3 file > Copyright (c) 2005 phwip > Release 0.4.1, compiled 2005-09-09 > > D:\mp3home\AC-DC\High Voltage [ReMaster]\AC-DC - 01 - It's A Long Way > To The Top (If You Wanna Rock 'N' Roll).mp3 > Tag revision: 0 > Encoder string: LAME > Version string: 3.96r > Quality: 59 (V4 and q1) > Encoding method: cbr > Lowpass: 20,500Hz > RG track peak: <not stored> > RG track gain: -10.8dB (determined automatically) > RG album gain: <not stored> > nspsytune: yes > nssafejoint: yes > nogap continued: no > nogap continuation: no > ATH type: 4 > Bitrate: 255 or higher > Encoder delay: 576 samples > Padded at end: 1,284 samples > Noise shaping: 1 > Stereo mode: joint > Unwise settings: no > Source sample freq: 44.1kHz > MP3Gain change: <none> > Preset: cbr 256 > Surround info: none > Music length: 9,667,395 bytes > Music CRC: B989 > Actual Music CRC: B989 > Info tag CRC: 4AC3 > Actual InfoTag CRC: 4AC3 here is another AC DC tag: > >lametag.exe "AC-DC - 01 - Hells Bells.mp3" > > LameTag - Reads the LAME tag from an mp3 file > Copyright (c) 2005 phwip > Release 0.4.1, compiled 2005-09-09 > > D:\mp3home\AC-DC\Back In Black [ReMaster]\AC-DC - 01 - Hells Bells.mp3 > LAME tag not found. what confuses me is that does have a lame tag. why doesn't it see it? also, the first file does list a replaygain value... BUT how do i know SS is actually using it on playback? i do have SS configured to "smart gain" but how do i verify it see's a value (or not) for any given file? -- MrSinatra www.LION-Radio.org Using: Squeezebox2 w/SS 6.5.2 (beta!?) - Win XP Pro SP2 - 3.2ghz / 2gig ram ------------------------------------------------------------------------ MrSinatra's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2336 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=32178 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
