MP2 files (MPEG-1 Layer 2) are still widely used in professional
broadcasting. I am glad that SqueezeCenter supports the MP2 format.
Those files can also be used (tagged) with Mp3tag.
Still it seems that MusicIP (at least the MusicIP Mixer v1.8.1b on
Windows) will -not- accept MP2 files if they are named
"something*.mp2*" (which they -should be-). At least the MPEG libraries
used with MusicIP/Windows -do- support MPEG-1 Layer 2 files, so I think
this has just been overlooked in the scanning modules (probably just
looking for "*.mp3"). [Does anyone know if MP2s work on Linux
headless?]
This leads to
- MP2 files not being seen in SC if an empty "Music Folder" is used
(i.e., all song info comes from MusicIP), because they are simply not
in the MIP library.
- MP2 files not being mixable if a Music Folder is used in addition
to MusicIP, because SC will see (and handle) the MP2 files but
MusicIP wont know about them.
I filed a 'report on MusicIP's forum'
(http://forums.musicip.com/index.php?showtopic=4135&hl=mp2) maybe you
want to support it.
A (temporary) workaround is to rename the "*.mp2" files to "*.mp3"
which I wouldnt really advise, since one loses the overview, and other
software might require the ".mp2" extension.
It would be better if MusicIP changed their scanning logic. [Maybe they
have done already for 1.9 beta? Does anyone know?]
