[Pkg-kde-extras] Bug#680916: kid3: Performer tag silently replaced with an Arranger one
Kid3 supports lots of different tag formats. All these formats have different fields, not all fields are present in all formats. Kid3 tries to unify the common field types between all supported formats, the unified fields are the "standard" fields from Title to Genre and additional fields from Album Artist to Website. Besides these unified fields, a lot of other format specific fields are supported, for ID3v2.3.0 from AENC to WXXX. Now there is the problem that not all of the unified fields can be unambiguously mapped to the fields of all formats. Here we have the Performer and Arranger fields. For ID3v2.4.0, Arranger is mapped to "TIPL Involved people list" and Performer is mapped to "TMCL Musician credits list". TMCL The 'Musician credits list' is intended as a mapping between instruments and the musician that played it. Every odd field is an instrument and every even is an artist or a comma delimited list of artists. TIPL The 'Involved people list' is very similar to the musician credits list, but maps between functions, like producer, and names. However, in ID3v2.3.0, there is no such thing as TMCL, only IPLS (Involved people list), so both musicians and other involved people like the producer have to use the IPLS field. That's why Kid3 maps both Performer and Arranger to IPLS, and when the file is read back, there are two IPLS frames which are displayed as Arranger. So this is not a bug in Kid3, only a thing where ID3v2.3.0 is not as expressive as ID3v2.4.0. You can use ID3v2.4.0 if this is really a problem. ___ pkg-kde-extras mailing list pkg-kde-extras@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pkg-kde-extras
[Pkg-kde-extras] Bug#680916: kid3: Performer tag silently replaced with an Arranger one
Package: kid3 Version: 2.1-2 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer, Here are the steps to reproduce this: * Open an album. * In the ID3v2.3.0 tags, click on the 'Add' button. * In the list pick 'Performer'. * Type 'Performer' as the value. * In the tag list you will see: Arranger: Performer So the 'Performer' tag got silently replaced with an 'Arranger' one. Note that if you try again and pick 'Arranger' in the list, you will also get an 'Arranger' tag. So either the 'Performer' tag does not exist and then it should be removed from the list, or it is mishandled. -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-2-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fr_FR.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages kid3 depends on: ii kde-runtime 4:4.8.4-1 ii libavcodec53 7:0.10.3-dmo1 ii libavformat537:0.10.3-dmo1 ii libavutil51 7:0.11.1-dmo2 ii libc62.13-33 ii libchromaprint0 0.6-2 ii libflac++6 1.2.1-6 ii libflac8 1.2.1-6 ii libgcc1 1:4.7.1-2 ii libid3-3.8.3c2a 3.8.3-15 ii libkdecore5 4:4.8.3-2 ii libkdeui54:4.8.3-2 ii libkio5 4:4.8.3-2 ii libogg0 1.3.0-4 ii libphonon4 4:4.6.0.0-2 ii libqt4-dbus 4:4.8.2-1 ii libqt4-network 4:4.8.2-1 ii libqt4-svg 4:4.8.2-1 ii libqt4-xml 4:4.8.2-1 ii libqtcore4 4:4.8.2-1 ii libqtgui44:4.8.2-1 ii libstdc++6 4.7.1-2 ii libtag1c2a 1.7.2-1 ii libvorbis0a 1.3.2-1.3 ii libvorbisfile3 1.3.2-1.3 ii phonon 4:4.6.0.0-2 kid3 recommends no packages. kid3 suggests no packages. -- no debconf information ___ pkg-kde-extras mailing list pkg-kde-extras@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pkg-kde-extras
