Group: Developer (Donating) Posts: 2053 Joined: 19-October 01 From: Finland Member No.: 322	Edit on 2011-03-25: foobar2000 v1.1.6 beta 2 is out. foobar2000 now uses " / " string as multi-artist delimiter in ID3v2.3 artist fields. Added an advanced preferences option to toggle between treating TPE2 as BAND or ALBUM ARTIST. foobar2000 v1.1.6 beta 1 was just released. Improved performance when playing very short tracks. Improved tag compatibility with other software. “Album artist” is mapped to ID3v2 TPE2 like in WMP/iTunes. Support for iTunes “itunescompilation” tags, in MP3/ID3v2 and MP4. ID3v2.3 tags are now written by default since version 2.4 seems to be widely ignored by software vendors. Added support for multi-value WMA tags. Special work-around for "AC/DC" artist in ID3v2.3. Improved reading of MP3 encoding information headers written by alpha versions of LAME. ReplayGain scanner now uses libebur128 for improved accuracy. Download - Change Log [edit] Split Discussions not related to beta: Muzack needs help with monitoring problem Godrick asks an unrelated question about the Album list Unrelated feature request #1 Clarifying the changes made with reading the ITUNESCOMPILATION frame Rewriting tags rewrites "all" tag fields?

Although it will relieve shakey_snake of the responsibility of having to paste that long list of topics written by confused AC/DC fans Overall, I can see why such changes were implemented, but they wouldn’t be necessary if the ID3v2 standards and various implementations thereof weren’t so discrepant. In a way, it’s laudable that the developers tried to adhere to the standards for so long, but perhaps it just didn’t seem worth it any more.
