[PA944: No 32bit flac support]

Waiting for PA to be able to read them as well. Considering files created with 1.4.1 can be read on players normally and decoded by older decoder versions (except for 32bit files of course), it probably is safe to add decoding support to it already. I mean, if enough changed between 1.4 and 1.4.1 to need an entirely new decoder, it would probably be numbered 1.5 or even 2.0, or at least have a big warning somewhere.

I predict that the next decoder will have the number 5.2 😁

Can I switch sample formats?

There are other issues too, such as the Artist tag's null separators being single zero bytes within an UTF-8 encoded data (should be two zero bytes not one). PA and MP3Tag coped, but my preferred TagScanner only saw the first artist name.

I would just make life easier for myself and stick with MP3/ID3 or FLAC/Vorbis tagging.

alas doesn't many formats support dsd 

[PA911: The "albumartist" tag is not reading in some files with APEv2 tags]

Figured out the problem. Bug in Mp3teg. APEv2 used tag "album artist" not "albumartist" like id3 or flac

Just post a link to a temporary file share location here, can be taken down once it's been looked at.

Where to send the link?

The "albumartist" tag is not reading in some files with APEv2 tags. I noticed this bug in mp3 and wv files

[Poweramp builds 899-905]

So about the new "multiartist" function:

1.Apps combine artists from vorbis tags into one

2.The spliting "albumartist" in the menu does not work. The first tag is shown, the second is ignored.

3.In the menu / album artists / * artist * / * album * / Duplicating tracks or none at all

4. If "album artist" is one, then the traks are duplicated, if more tracks are missing

5. Tracks with a split symbol are duplicated

Apologies for the sharpness. Maybe in the beginning it is worth making support at the standards level? And then we'll discuss additional features of the parser?

[Multiple Artists]

Early I was glad, AC\DC is an exception in MediaMonkey. Well, I don't think "/" is used anywhere other than id3. 

In my entire shopping history, I've only seen these signs (words):",", "feat.","ft.","w/", "with."

I don't understand what you are getting at. You seem to be using "AC/DC" as an example, which is actually one of the main reasons for NOT using a plain "/" character as a separator as that would cause their songs to be attributed to two bands, "AC" and "DC". Hence my original statement "I think we're all in agreement that using "&" or "/" as default separators would be a VERY bad idea"

Andre

No, I'm saying about the ID3 standard. There is already a separation symbol and it does not interfere with writing AC/DC together. I don't know how to implement it, but I have an example where it is already implemented. Based on your comment, I got the impression that you want to ignore the standard

But it is exactly that in the id3v2.3 spec. Regardless there are several implementations outside of the spec meant to help solve some limitations of that scope.

 

From the id3 official page;

TPE1

The 'Lead artist(s)/Lead performer(s)/Soloist(s)/Performing group' is used for the main artist(s). They are seperated with the "/" character.

Well here's a real example

AC_DC - Realize.mp3 KOTONOHOUSE - Euphoria (feat. TOFIE).mp3

I don't really understand what you are asking here. The separator is what you define it to be for your library. I really don't recommend a single forward slash "/" without space " / " as this leads to issues with bands like "AC/DC" Love/Hate" etc. Regardless this is a user defined option that has been discussed. You can find similar discussions on the forum site for mp3tag, which is the tagging software in the screen shots you have posted.

No no no. This is a rhetorical question. I mean that in id3 the separator is not"/".

Hmm .. how?  In ID3, it looks like the separator is not "/". Should I upload files?

MP3Tag will even try to save multiple tags within formats that don't officially support it (such as ID3). Tagscanner does not do this.

Some programs write ape tags together with ID3 tags. This is also done in foobar2000

[Multiple Artists]

I also want to remind you that the words "feat." , "ft.", "f.", "f /", "with.", "w /", "mix", "remix" can separate authors which can be in title and artist lines. 

[Multiple Artists]

 As far as I know, some meta tags (APEv2, FLAC) can contain multiple values with the same key. And also since ID3v2.3 it is prescribed to separate artists with a "/".
