style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial"><o:p>A few weeks ago now, I
solicited this list for 'ID3 Offenders", examples of applications, libraries, or
encoders that somehow didn't comply with the ID3 standard. I got some
great feedback and compiled the entries in a single list. There was some
talk at the time of adding this list to <A
href="http://www.id3.org">www.id3.org</A>, but I haven't seen an update.
So in the mean time, I posted the list to my ID3 library's page. For those
who weren't on the list at the time or for people who just want to check out
what I have so far, here's a direct link to the list...<BR><A

correct, I'm thinking the most appropriate thing to do is to reply back to this
list. (Disregard the link to my forum on the page.) I can update my
list and if we ever want to create a similar page on <A
href="http://www.id3.org">www.id3.org</A>, we can use it as a starting
point. My personal goal is to shame some of these developers into
compliance, so obviously this would have more of an impact if the list were on
<A href="http://www.id3.org">www.id3.org</A>, but I'll keep my list going if
that isn't the right venue.</o:p></SPAN></FONT></DIV>
