Can you send more information about this?  Was it only in conjuction
with VBR tags, or all the time?

I second that. Never seen this great program before. Been very useful for
finding bad id3v2 tags created with v3.87 :(

Why is this? They are both required.

3.86 put the ID3v2 first and the Xing second, as I'm sure you know. This
worked fine with the software I used. From the v2.3.0 docs:

-
3.1.ID3v2 header

The ID3v2 tag header, which should be the first information in
the file, is 10 bytes as follows:

Welcome Michael!

I like your program very much. I have been using it for a year now and
it is *really* great! Summing up, you're a wizard at least on
ID3-tags. :-)

Happy to hear from you here,

Heribert.

Hi Michael,

In 3.87, I thought I disabled the Xing header if an ID3v2 tag
was also being used.  So hopefully there is no Xing header at all :-)
The code in 3.87 could not handle both id3v2 and xing vbr header.

I just took at the code, and now the VBR header code is
id3 tag aware, (Maybe Albert just added this?)
So LAME 3.88alpha will now allow both, but I didn't test this
at all.

by the way, which is supposed to come first, id3v2, or Xing vbr
header?

Mark

[MP3 ENCODER] id3v2 & xing-header

2000-09-29 Thread Michael Mutschler

Hallo,
I'm new to the list, and think bug reports are best posted here.
I just downloaded version 3.87 beta, and tried the vbr.
But it seems to have problems when writing ID3v2-Tag and the
Xing VBR header together. Then the Xing-header is corrupt,
or not found (The first frame doesn't contain the String "Xing").
If you don't write the id3v2-tag, the xing-header is OK.

I took a look at the sources, but I cannot find the bug.

I have problems with my tools displaying the correct info
about the vbr-files, although I implemented the Xing-header
recognition.

(My program is MP3-Info Extension (for Windows explorer), and
can be found on http://www.mutschler.de/mp3ext, with sources)
