I've rebuilt my PC entirely after a nasty crash, so cannot go back to my previous versions for comparison, and I'm now using jriver 18.129 (previously used v17) as well as EAC 1.0 beta 3 (previously .95 beta 4)
I have a library of several thousand CDs all ripped to .ape using EAC and then imported into JRiver. When I ran jriver 18 to rebuild the library (my audio files were on a separate disk, thankfully), everything went smoothly and all the tags were recogmised.
When I rip new CDs with EAC, I am quite certain that the rips are fine because the file names are complete and correct when looking checking using windows explorer.
However, when I import new files into JRiver 18.129, I have 2 problems which I did not used to have with older versions: (1) jriver only seems to read the first 30 characters of the fields (for instance name of the track or album title - sounds like an old IDv1 restriction?), and (2) jriver does not recognise special characters, such as letters with accents which are very common in German or Italian classical music references, for instance.
I rip using ID3V1 and ID3V2 tags. I have also tried with and without UTF16 and all sorts of other combinations using ID3V2.4 etc.
Is there a special setting within jriver or EAC that I should be aware of?
