Good question. It does sound like bad advice. SqueezeCenter will see the APE tag and then use it over any id3 tags that may be in the file. If the APE tag is missing things like artist, album, title, etc. then they'll be missing in SqueezeCenter. Generally, you don't want both APE and id3 tags in an Mp3 for use with SqueezeCenter. If you really know what you're doing you _could_ keep all the metadata in the APE tag, but then you'd have to use free-form field names of the sort used within Flac and Monkey's Audio files. -- JJZolx Jim ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=48537 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/ripping
