Hi all
i have finally (i think..) got to the bottom of my whole tagging ordeal in the past 2 months. i am a Huge JRiver fan and user but alas i use linux alot during the daytime (at UNI) and at home (HTPC). since of course there is no MC for linux (yet..one can dream
..) i use Amarok when i am using Linux. A while ago i noticed that alot of my tags (which i labored on for along time- a few weeks of work!!) started after a while of using amarok (3-4 months) to disappear (album art,lyrics etc...). At first i though it was Amarok's fault since i noticed that when i change even the slightest thing in the Tags the tags are ruined in MC and the image stored inside the file is lost...BUT...Today i think i finally began to understand some of the problem after this post in the Amarok Forum:
"...Amarok does NOT delete any of your tags. Here's what really happens: Amarok writes ID3 V2.4 tags, which some other players can't read, due to outdated tagging libraries. These players can only process ID3 V2.3., hence they don't see the 2.4 tags."
So the question is a)is that right and how can i test it b)will JRiver ever move to ID3 v2.4? c)what should i do in the meantime..LOL...
any help would be highly appreciated!
Thx
Zeltak
