<div class=Section1>
<p class=MsoNormal>I have an mp3 file with properly formatted ID3v2.3 and
ID3v1.1 tags.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>The genre is set to Soundtrack, and is stored correctly as
(24) in the TCON frame and as 0x18 in the ID3v1 tag.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>When I execute the following lines:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal> TagLib::MPEG::File f(filename);<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal> f.save();<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Taglib strips off the parenthesis and stores 24 in the TCON
frame. Obviously, this is not the same. My music players now
display the genre as “24” instead of “Soundtrack”.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>After tracing through the code, “FrameFactory::updateGenre”
is clearly designed to do this. The ID3v2.3/4 specification explicitly
allows the use of v1 genres in v2 tags when the number is enclosed in parenthesis.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>So, is this a mistake, or do I not understand something?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
