importing MP3 files: lost tag
« on: April 07, 2003, 11:17:18 pm »

I've been reporting this for a while. I moved it out of your BIG bug list because most people do not use the TPE2 tag.  I still say that your import routine is wrong:



1. I Import a file into MC.

MPEG-1 Layer 3
192 Kbit CBR
44.1 Khz Stereo

Copyrighted: No
Original: Yes
Protected by CRC: No

ID3v1 Tag: (128 bytes)
  Name: Part 1 - Acknowledgement
  Artist: John Coltrane
  Album: Love Supreme
  Year: 1964
  Comment:  
  Track #: 1
  Genre: Jazz

ID3v2 Tag: (11827 bytes)
 COMM (Tool Name): Media Center
 COMM (Tool Version): 9.0.143
 COMM (Keywords): test keywords
 COMM (TestListType): Post-Bop; Hard Bop; Free Jazz; Avant-Garde Jazz
  APIC: <unknown data type>
 TPE1 (Lead performer(s)/Solo..): John Coltrane
 TPE2 (Band/orchestra/accompa..): Coltrane Orchestra
 TPE3 (Conductor/performer re..): Coltrane Conductor
 TIT2 (Title/songname/content..): Part 1 - Acknowledgement
 TALB (Album/Movie/Show title): Love Supreme
 TRCK (Track number/Position ..): 01
 TYER (Year): 1964
 TCOM (Composer): Coltrane
 TPUB (Publisher): Test Publisher
 TCON (Content type): Jazz
 COMM (Comments): <too large to display>


Problem #1: Artist field in the database is populated with 'Coltrane Orchestra' (TPE2). It should be populated with 'John Coltrane' (TPE1)


2. I edit the properties and change the 'Keywords' field from 'test Keywords' to 'new keywords'.  MC writes the tag.  Now the format looks like the following:

Notice the changes and lost tags?


Problem #2: TPE1 changed from 'John Coltrane' to 'Coltrane Orchestra'.  (This reflects the improper import listed in problem #1)

Problem #3: Data in TPE2 is lost

Thanks for the great bug report and your patience.

Both problems should be fixed next build.
