ID3V2 tag replaced with Image/jpg
« on: October 12, 2002, 02:19:20 pm »

I had a problem with MusicMatch JukeBox hanging on importing to its Music Library.  I have to still  use MMJB due to its Preference, Tempo and Mood tags.  I had used it a long while back to rip+encode some cd's before moving to MJ (to use its LAME encoder and other nice tag/file/editing tools).

Sometime in the last 2 weeks using MJ I did a change filenames from tags and on about 10 tracks the ID3V2 tag was replaced with garbage which included a string something like "image/jpg" as a hex editor revealed.  But at least the ID3V1 tag was still at the end.  I was lucky in that I could see in MJ that some tracks Genre's had been changed to Other - indeed those were the ones that had the munged v2 tags and that MMJB would hang on import.  

So I changed them to the Genre's that they had been originally, and I guess that cleaned them up enough because MMJB will now import them.  Anybody else have problems like this?  In fact one of the bad tracks that I did finally get MMJB to import and the I know MJ touched last during a change filename from tags and I know used to have a v2 tag still has image/jpg where the v2 tag should be, here is the first part as seen in a hex editor:

... and here is the last part of the same track which is the v1 tag:
