Hiya
I'm fairly new to foobar. When I say that, I mean I haven't gone any further into it than customizing the UI and adding my mp3's.

I've always had this problem; some of my songs' tags appear to be incorrect,
but upon inspection in Tag&Rename, both the ID3v2 & ID3v1 tags are correct.
I have the ID3v2.dll in the components folder too.

These two songs are correctly tagged, but output these strange names


I've searched and I came up with this thread, but when I check the APEv2 tags in Tag&Rename, there are none.

Does anybody know what the problem could be and how I could fix it?

Thanks very much.
Tom

EDIT: I had a look here and it says that you get random garbage in the fields if you use MP3Gain, but I don't use MP3Gain (that i know of).

No doubt, your APETag of those 2 files was corrupt.
and, so sorry to tell u that, Tag&Rename is still not support the MP3 that with ID3+APE.

So, u have 2 choices:
1) remove all tag in Foobar2000 v0.83 , and then re-tag the mp3 with any tools.

2) install foobar2000 v0.9 beta , and the use it to remove the APE tag in those mp3 files.

I installed the new beta, and it seemed to automatically fix my problem
Thanks unicoder for the suggestion.

Next question -
Where can I find a version of AMIP that will work with the new beta?

Nowhere.
List of 0.9 compatible 3rd party components.

NO, it didn't fix anything automatically...
all corrupted APETAG still remain in your mp3 files, unless u removed them.

Hence why I said "it seemed to".

Retag the files with APE2+ID3V1
