Title: Strange "Compression" tags
Post by: ADDiCT on July 09, 2008, 10:16:12 am

I'm currently cleaning up my library a bit, and stumbled across something strange. The "Compression" tags seem to have some variations that are redundant.

This is what i see when looking at all variations:
CBR (MPEG-1 Layer 3)
CBR (MPEG-1.0 Layer 2)
CBR (MPEG-1.0 Layer 3)
CBR (MPEG-2 Layer 3)
CBR (MPEG-2.0 Layer 3)

VBR (MPEG-1 Layer 3)
VBR (MPEG-1.0 Layer 3)
VBR (MPEG-2.0 Layer 3)

Shouldn't "CBR (MPEG-2 Layer 3)" be identical to "CBR (MPEG-2.0 Layer 3)", for example? Or is there a difference? I guess this value is connected to the encoder that's been used, maybe there are some small inconsistencies between encoders.

If you do "Update Library (from tags)" they'll standardize, I think.

Our number to decimal string function was putting unneeded 0's at the end of strings sometimes.

Thanks for the info, Matt! Yes, the tag gets updated by "Update Library (from tags)".
