In-Reply-To: <20110820140846.6b266351@cox.net> References: <20110820140846.6b266351@cox.net> Message-ID: The difference between 2.3 and 2.4 are minor, but enough to foil a 2.3 editor encountering a sync-safe integer in a 2.4 frame. The sure fire way to see the difference is to open the mp3 in a hex editor before and after edits, and compare changes. Alternatively, you could use BulkID3 ( http://sourceforge.net/projects/bulkid3/) with the --print-only flag, to show all tag data in the file.

Message-ID: <20110820140846.6b266351@cox.net> Hi, Just getting resubscribed to the list after some time away. I'm having a strange problem re: amarok vs. id3v2 (the command line tool). I've discovered lately that if I modify a file's tags in amarok, id3v2 no longer sees them afterwards. It's as if the id3v2 tags have been completely blown away by amarok. Someone on one of the FreeBSD mailing lists suggested that this may be due to amarok's dependence on taglib (which allegedly uses id3 2.4), whereas the id3v2 tool uses 2.3. Is this a likely explanation? Are the differences so great that the older id3v2 tool can no longer grok the newer tags? Thanks, this problem is driving me nuts. :-) -- Conrad J.
