This has been a big issue I've come across, especially with the "scripting" features of MP3Tag where BAND is now stored as a TXXX tag. I'm not sure exactly how TXXX tags work, but I could see a big problem in this case where a user has a TPE2 tag "BAND" and a TXXX tag "BAND". To make matter worse, the TPE2 tag is now ALBUMARTIST. ALBUM ARTIST is actually a TXXX tag (or perhaps it is the opposite). Never-the-less it gets confusing. It would really help if it was easy to see the tags on the level of TPE2, TXXX, etc. in any software. -- emalvick ------------------------------------------------------------------------ emalvick's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=35382 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=91957 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/ripping
