[»] How do I contact the developer?
by Tyler Lin - Nov 22nd 2004 21:01:35

The emails I sent to the developer (Chris) got bounced back.
Both the homemail.com.au and tpg.com.au addresses are not
valid.

I would like to know if iTunes tag parsing is done or not. Also,
are there CVS or something similar for this project?

My ISP was having problems.

Yes the framework can parse iTunes tags if you use MP3
with ID3 tags. I have not gotten around to ACC (mp4) tags
as yet.

Thanks for the reply.


One thing strange I noticed, sometimes parts of tags in iTunes are not shown in the id3tag framework, but after I edit the tag in iTunes (something like added a space), the framework sees the missing part. I wonder if it is caused by iTunes when initially import the song (something like only write fields that have been modified to v2, and read v1 tag when parts of the v2 tag is missing).


I was having problem with iTunes because I did not create a new instance of TagAPI each time I parse a mp3 file, I was using the same instance over and over. Things are ok if I only parse v2 tags, but if I encounter a v1 tag, parsing v2 tags will no longer works (leaving blanks in the fields).

Here is one more bug report:

In TagAPI, setTitle always return false... (tested using v1.1 and v2.3 tags) but values are updated regardless of that. Its ok with Roman based encoding, otherwise writng question marks instead of the currect chars.

It's strange that both setAlbum and setArtist works. (since all three functions takes in NSString)

by the way, I would like to know other people using this framework so we can discuss. Thanks.

Found the bug! ^^
missing "!" in setTitle function call in TagAPI
should read:if (![v1Tag setTitle:Title]) result = NO;
