Hi all,

Please help me with the following:
When I fill in the comment field in the MP3 tag it will only be visible within Media Jukebox and not in other MP3 Tag editors / readers. Why does this software not use the standard way of storing MP3 Tag information?

Try to use the Tool: Rename files from properties and see if that does it. Caution, test on a single file first to see if the effect is what you want.

Hi all,

Why does this software not use the standard way of storing MP3 Tag information?

it does, one of the problems with some tagging programs is they do not handle ID3 Comment Tags well.

The ID3v2 standard will handle more than one comment tag. if the program your using only shows one comment then it can't handle Multi comments in the ID3v2 tagging system correctly.

MC still may have a bug where if Matt looked into it he could make sure the MJ\MC comment field to save where other programs with this limitation could see it correctly.

if you use Dr tag it will allow you to edit more than one comment field.

I do tend to agree with you this problem should be worked on.

If MC9 saved the comment field first and not "COMM (Tool Name): Media Center" then it will work correctly

=====================================

Broken:

ID3v2 Tag: (2031 bytes)
 COMM (Tool Name): Media Center
 COMM (Tool Version): 9.0.109
 USLT (Unsynchronized lyric/t..): <too large to display>
 TPE1 (Lead performer(s)/Solo..): Vengaboys
 TRCK (Track number/Position ..): 1
 TALB (Album/Movie/Show title): The Best Of Vengaboys
 TIT2 (Title/songname/content..): We Like To Party!
 TCON (Content type): Top 40
 TYER (Year): 1999
 COMM (Comments): Charted At 26 In 1999
 COMM (Rating): 3

=============================

MC should save COMM in some sort of Order and if saved like this it should fix the problem.

ID3v2 Tag: (2031 bytes)

=================================

I did notice this a few months ago and it should go into the bug thread.

Most users who use MC would never notice this since they tend not to use anything else since there is really no need.



Listening to: 'To Brazil!' from 'The Party Album' by 'Vengaboys' on Media Center 9.0

Thanks for the info.
Basicaly I want to store language information. I used the realjukebox for a few years and used the language field a lot but RealJB is not storing in the ID3v2 format. So now I have to make a conversion and the only field usable at this moment is the comment field.
This field is readable in both applications but than I cannot use it for any purposes anymore.
Well I keep on trying.

What about the Custom 1 to 3 fields?

>> What about the Custom 1 to 3 fields?
what about them?

There is no offical "Custom 1" etc.... Field

J river Created a way in MJ8 to store them under a made up and not always compatable with other ID3v2 programs.

J River saves them now with MC9 in the ID3v2 Comm Tag Like

COMM (Custom 1): Disk 4

that one and any User Created Field Will go under COMM (right now)

I also Hope J river provides support for user added fields with a drop down combo or somthing for all ID3v2 fields.
