One problem is the naming used for different tags. In the ID3v2 tag spec (see, for example, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ID3) the tags aren't called Album, Album Artist, etc. They are called things like TALB, TPE1, etc. And the mappings used from ID3v2 to Vorbis Comments (FLAC) and other tagging schemes are subject to interpretation.
It's not to say that it couldn't be done, but it does mean that even establishing that "...the details are exactly the same..." is not a trivial matter, especially if one is talking about writing a plugin or tool for public consumption, where all kinds of practices, kludges, and "de facto standards" may be encountered even within a single music library. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ aubuti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2074 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=94619 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/ripping
