Thanks Lukáš,

You are right, of course. I found at least four invalid frame names in my Whitelabel files: sWTK, sWRL, sBPM, and sAGN. I'll try to get a comment from Serato about this.

Now, I hardly dare to ask, but is there a way to make TagLib less strict in this regard? For instance, could it simply skip frames with invalid names (assuming the structure of the frames themselves is valid) or -- heaven forbid -- even preserve these frames?

Thanks,
patrick
