Re: »invisible characters« (i.e., blanks) in tags I absolutely -hate- software that tries to patronize me (i.e., MS Win Update enabling a disabled Firewall with each update, MusicIP insisting that they’re right to change »Guns N' Roses« to »Guns 'n' Roses« or »W.I.N.D.« to »Wind«, or software that thinks it -has- to trim certain fields in tags).
-What I put there, I want there. Basta.- If I want a tag with just a blank or two albums called »Help! « and »Help!« it’s entirely -my- decision—or -my- problem. It won’t help that -some- software further down the chain tries to »correct« assumed »user errors« while other software doesn’t. It -will- help curing the problem at its origin, i.e. repair the tag if you don’t like its contents. I just had the same problem (»invisible« blanks in tags, also missing ReplayGain since I used SAM Broadcaster before which has a good AGC and I never liked changing data like with MP3Gain). So what did I do instead of lamenting that some software should cure my lazyness? Right. -Correct it. Within each and every of my currently 23.541 titles.- Took the PC 6 days in total. So what? It’s fixed now where it -should- be fixed. And I’m happy about being responsible for what I put into the system and have the system do what’s expected. -Not- change my intention and work to my bidding—and -not- to the likeness of some programmer who probably not even knows what I want and why it might make sense in a special case. Garbage in—garbage out, as we programming folk say. Just my 2 cents. -- Moonbase Moonbase: 'The Problem Solver' (http://www.kaufen-ist-toll.de/moonbase) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Moonbase's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=21594 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=55833
