I'm a bit confused with what you mean here. A "Tag" is something like ID3v2.3 or ID3v2.4. Within a given TAG, there are fields that contain the metadata (like ARTIST, ALBUM, GENRE, TITLE, etc.). So mp3tag can show you what tags are in the file and which tags are being read (so for example, if you had both ID3v2.3 and ID3v1.1 tags, the column I gave you would show both but then show the ID3v2.3 as the one read). Other parts of mp3tag show you what fields are within the tag (right click on file and select extended tags to see ALL fields in file). Or add a column for any of the fields (this is what I do for metadata fields I'm interested in, the normal stuff, plus ReplayGain values, comments, whether artwork exists, artwork size, etc. p.s. I agree that with mp3 files having ONLY one tag per file is good. Except for old car CD mp3 players I'm not sure anything really needs ID3v1 tags anymore. In my own case, I make all my mp3 files ID3v2.3 for maximum compatibility. But v2.4 may very well be fine. and I mostly use my FLAC files within SB anyhow.... my mp3 mirror directory is just for my iphone/ipods. -- garym Location 1: Vortexbox Appliance 6TB (1.10) > SbS 7.6.2 > Transporter, Touch, Boom, Radio w/Battery (all ethernet except Radio) Location 2: Win7(64) laptop > LMS 7.7.1 > Touch>Benchmark DAC I, Boom, Radio w/Battery (all ethernet except Radio and laptop) Retired: SB3, Duet Receiver Controlled at both locations with: iPhone (iPeng), iPad (iPengHD & SqueezePad), CONTROLLER, or SqueezePlay 7.7 on Win7(64) laptop Ripping (FLAC) - dbpoweramp, Additional Tagging - mp3tag ------------------------------------------------------------------------ garym's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17325 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=91957 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/ripping
