Hi all,
Why does this software not use the standard way of storing MP3 Tag information?
it does, one of the problems with some tagging programs is they do not handle ID3 Comment Tags well.
The ID3v2 standard will handle more than one comment tag. if the program your using only shows one comment then it can't handle Multi comments in the ID3v2 tagging system correctly.
MC still may have a bug where if Matt looked into it he could make sure the MJ\MC comment field to save where other programs with this limitation could see it correctly.
if you use Dr tag it will allow you to edit more than one comment field.
I do tend to agree with you this problem should be worked on.
If MC9 saved the comment field first and not "COMM (Tool Name): Media Center" then it will work correctly

MC should save COMM in some sort of Order and if saved like this it should fix the problem.

I did notice this a few months ago and it should go into the bug thread.
Most users who use MC would never notice this since they tend not to use anything else since there is really no need.
Listening to: 'To Brazil!' from 'The Party Album' by 'Vengaboys' on Media Center 9.0
