Re: [Banshee-List] ID3v2.3 tags

[olivier dufour <olivier duff gmail com>]

hmm, I do not think so. The Ripping process use a gst pipeline define here :

http://git.gnome.org/browse/banshee/tree/data/audio-profiles/mp3-lame.xml.in

The issue is that gstreamer pipeline use by default ID3V2mux.

ID3Mux is a "bad gst plugins" whereas ID3V2 is in good branch.

But ID3mux is able to produce 2.3 tag whereas ID3V2 use taglib (nothing to do with taglib#) which can only out 2.4 tag.

So to solve that issue a solution is to use the newer plugin ID3Mux but I am not sure that this plugin is stable enough to be used...

Here is the bug on gst about it:

Olivier, AFAIK we only use GStreamer for playback.

For writing tags we use taglib-sharp.

Hello,

GStreamer pipeline use 2.4.0.

Quote from doc :
This element adds ID3v2 tags to the beginning of a stream using the
taglib library. More precisely, the tags written are ID3 version 2.4.0
tags (which means in practice that some hardware players or outdated
programs might not be able to read them properly).

So, This is a gstreamer issue. Do not know if it is possible to use old
version...

   Maybe a good feature would be to set an ID3 version preference for each
   device you may own, so upon syncing or copying to that device, the
   tag is
   changed (if needed) to a readable version.
