will attach a sample file. the album artwork was imparted with itunes 4.7.1 apparently. reproduced with 5.4.1 and 6.0 nightlies.
Created attachment 292 [details] embedded image in this mp3 gets truncated when viewed in slimserver, but ok in itunes
Created attachment 293 [details] screenshot from the customer's server where many images are unhappy
using teh sample file, I can see the truncated art. I dropped a new imsage into the file and that shows up fine. The special characters problem is clearly not teh same one here. It appears to be image related. d_artwork shows a length of 19709. Oddly, removing the art and saving to a file, it appears perfectly fine in slimserver from an external cover.jpg. I had hoped to be able to check length against what something like photoshop reported. I guess itunes 4.7.1 is messing around with things.
http://the.taoofmac.com/space/blog/2003-09-02 has some more information. But only a little bit.
Kevin - this file, although working correctly in iTunes appears to have an invalid frame ID. Could you try and get another file from the customer that also has an embedded image with this problem? Thanks.
This only happens with ID3 v2.4 tags.

These are ID3 v2.4 files. They don't adhere to the spec, but it appears that other programs don't either (the frame lengths are supposed to be sync escaped.) This includes iTunes. So we behave like the rest of them now. Fixed for next nightly. Please verify the issue and close the bug or reopen if it's still problematic.
