Support ID32 block type in WAV files
Last modified: 2009-07-31 10:23:08 UTC
My WAV files are tagged with ID3v2.3 tags. Although this is not a standard it is working perfect. Audiograbber started implementing this feature. SqueezeCenter is currently not supporting this, but it would be great if this feature could be implemented. How does it work? It is actually quite simple. The ID3v2.3 tag is added at the end of the WAV file. To be consistent with the WAV format, we must use a RIFF sub chunk. The RIFF sub chunk is called ID32 and is followed by the length of the tag. The length is encoded LSB first (little endian format): SubChunk ID ID32 (4 bytes) Chunk Size xx xx xx xx (4 bytes) Next is the actual ID3v2.3 tag itself. This is compliant with the original standard. For a detailed overview see: www.id3.org I have attached a sample wav file with an ID3v2.3 tag inside for your reference.

I'll take a quick look. I'm thinking this file might have more then one tag type.
Seems we are looking for chunk "id3" to be at the begging of an id3 tag in a wav file. Changing chunk "ID32" to "id32" in the attached wav file allows the tags to be read by SqueezeCenter. Andy, could this just be a case sensitivity issue?
Fixed in 7.1 change 21000.
(In reply to comment #4) > Fixed in 7.1 change 21000. I see the status is fixed. What are the next steps for my SqueezeCenter? Do I need simply need to copy the info.pm file to my server? Thank you, Pasacl
Pascal please retest with SqueezeCenter 7.1-21796. if you still see the error, then reopen the bug with added comments.
Hi James, I just got home from a trip and read your message. You mentioned to test with version 7.1-21796. The version on the download server is SqueezeCenter-7.1-21902.ZIP. Is this the correct version for me to test? Thank you, Pascal
Yep, you can test with that or any later 7.1 version.

Hi guys, I installed SC version SqueezeCenter-7.1-21927.exe. Right after the install I got an error message. I have uploaded the SC7_1 ErrorMsg.bmp bitmap that shows the exact error message. Even with the above error message SC seems to running ok. It re-scanned my library and I still have all relevant information from my wav files (album, title, etc). One thing that doesn’t work anymore is the SuperTime Date Screensaver (version 5.5.1). That’s a pity because I really like that plug-in. I will continue to monitor the behavior of SC 7.1 and report back if I find any strange things. Thanks for all the hard work, Pascal
Small update: SuperDate Time is running again. I found the solution in forum. Thanks, Pascal
