MP3Commander BETA Announcement

[Bug]
How do you read "Artist" information from mp3 files?
I've realised many incorrect displays in your plugin. Some artists figures as "01" or "mp3". I don't know why does it occurs. It looks like you are parsing mp3 title not ID3 tag. Why?

E.g. 1.
File "00_Gimme Some More - Good Foot.mp3" from "Zaire Soul" album by "James Brown" artist gives (in filesystem plugin) "Gimme Some More" artist.

E.g. 2.
File "01 Aquarius.mp3" from "Hair" artist and "Hair (Broadway)" album gives "mp3" as album's name.

The "Properties" window (called via "Properties" mouse menu item) gives correct information but directories structure shows incorrect info.

[Request] Properties window could be closed by Escape key. For now I am calling "Properties"via keyboard shortcut but for close I have to use mouse.

P.S. I can send you my database file if you want to. Just give me an email address or contact via ICQ.

Obviously I messed up the priorities, they have been in the wrong order. So tags by filenames have overwritten the correct ID3 Tags...

This is fixed now. Also I included an option to not include directories in tag analysis by filename.

Escape key to close works too, now.

Again, update can be found at the same address.

Version 0.1.0.63
* redesigned File-Information Dialog (ALT+ENTER)
+ "Rating" and "Favorite" field added
+ possibility to change track information (database only)
+ file information shows ID3v2 image if available
+ escape key closes file-information and settings dialog
* speed-up adding files
- bug fixed that appeared when displaying a folder containing quote-chars (")
* internal database change, indices now partly case insensitive (slows down a little bit)

1. Plugin hangs with TC while adding files with both ANSI and UNICODE names.
2. Cirillic tags still not supported.

If this would be corrected we should have an excellent plugin.

[Troops]

Is it possible for you to send me one or two file that are not displayed correctly? My address is removed. I don't have any mp3files with tags that could not be read

[Postkutscher]

Troops, thanks for responce. I have send it to you.

[Troops]

Hmm, nothing here yet.
Edit: Could you try again, please? Next version is waiting (added support for wma, flac, ogg and some other features) but I need to fix this first

[Postkutscher]

E-Mail was resended.

[Troops]

Thanks 2Postkutscher! This really helped a lot

Version 0.1.0.67
+ cyrillic names should be displayed again, but this "feature" is considered experimental at the moment
+ due to the lack of unicode, however, at the moment some tags may be displayed wrong
+ added support for .wma, .flac, .ogg - .aac and some other formats will follow soon
+ added \Favorites folder

Thanks for plugin. It's very useful.
Still have problems with cyrillic tags in UTF_8.

[vasyabelkin]

Please look at this.

While anytag.wdx and foobar2000 music player show the genre tag as needed (e.g. "Black Metal"), your plugin shows it as "(138)". I also have one more album with genre "(138)Black Metal". It's a bug, isn't it?

The track number is missing also.

Thank you for the great plugin

Still working on this... :/

2vasyabelkin:
This isn't really a bug but missing non-standard information
I added genre-definitions up to 147 now, so this should be "fixed" in the next version.
Thanks for reporting

[vasyabelkin]

2vasyabelkin:
missing non-standard information

Not really, I have the same genre with many other albums and your plugin shows it right

[Troops]

ID3v2 Genre Tags are normally stored as fulltext, so the field would contain "Black Metal" or whatever. Another way to store the genre, is to use the numeric value of the ID3v1 Tag (since they were numeric only, no fulltext), which is then either stored as "(numeric)value" or only "(numeric)", e.g. "(0)Blues" or "(0)".

In your case only "(138)" was stored and since 138 isn't a "standard" in ID3v1 it wasn't shown properly. The standard ranges from 0 to 79, every higher value was made up by Nullsoft (WinAMP) and is non-standard. Most players and tagging software support 0 to 126 though (so did the MP3Commander), some support 0 to 147. I added 127 through 147 so everything should be fine with the next version

[vasyabelkin]

OK, thanks for the explanation and, once again, for your work
