That's what I thought. > I'm not really sure whether the custom (TXXX frame) tag called > COMPILATION is more or less correct to use opposed to > ITUNESCOMPILATION.

The spec (if you actually want to call the thing drawn up a decade ago and published nowhere other than on a web site a "spec") designates native frames - it does _not_ preclude the use of _other_ frames. If it was invented by Apple for iTunes, then that would probably cover a significant percentage of the common usage. To put it mildly. > So both are non-standard.

Neither should cause issues among applications attempting to read tags from a file. -- JJZolx Jim ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=57950 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list ripping@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/ripping
