Multiple ARTIST tags in APEv2 not recognised correctly
Last modified: 2009-10-05 14:27:57 UTC
I use Mp3Tag. This supports multiple artist tags in APEv2. I guess the APEv2 format uses a separator character between multiple tag values. After scanning into SC, SC reports the artists as "Free System Projekt�Dave Brewer" - i.e. one artist. It hasn't detected the separator.
what separator character do you use?
I am not specifically using any character as a separator - I am entering two artist tags in Mp3Tag, which appears to store as: Artist<NULL>artist 1<NULL><artist 2><NULL><NULL><NULL><NULL><NULL><NULL><NULL><NULL> where <NULL> is 0x00. I will attach a small example file.
Created attachment 4238 [details] Example mp3 file with only APEv2 tags Two Artist tags were added using Mp3Tag: ARTIST=artist1 ARTIST=artist2 FooBar music player can read this file correctly, displaying both artists, but SqueezeCenter shows only the first artist.
Thanks for the extra info and sample. Brandon, does this fall under the new_schema work for 8.0?
