Full Version: fb2k-made ID3v2 COMMENT problem

I searched the forum but haven't found anything about such problem. Sorry, if I missed something...

I added this to ID3v2 COMMENT field with foobar2000 (0.8.2):
CODE
Cuong Vu: trumpet, vocals
Stomu Takeishi: electric bass, fretless bass guitar
Jamie Saft: piano, keyboards, Fender Rhodes
Jim Black: percussion, cymbals, drums

Produced by Cuong Vu and Jamie Saft

2000, Omnitone Records, 12002

After that, foobar2000 shows it OK, but other programs show it cutting off "Cuong Vu: " and starting with "trumpet, vocals" etc. Tag&Rename 3.1 shows no comments at all.

I tried other settings in ID3v2 tag support page, tried Tag type to write = (ID3v2 and ID3v1) and (ID3v2 only), but it's all the same.

Am I doing something wrong or is it any bug?

Thanks! I'll try it wihtout fail.
But for now I found that a colon character (":") causes this problem. The first colon in the comment, to be more exact. When I replace it with " - ", comment's text is trimmed up to the next available colon character.

Auto-description writing has been axed because it is just the sort of hack to break something like this. Please update to v1.16.

Thank you, kode54! It works great! smile.gif

Did you forget to change version number to 1.16 at you page?

Good luck!

No, I forgot to update the version number in the component itself. Thanks for noticing.
