MP3 comment problem

[hamsen]

I have a mp3file with one comment containing a description.

Like:

TAG = COMM
Desc = TrackNotes
Text = This is a comment

That shows up in dbPowerAmp correctly as:

TrackNotes = This is a comment

At the same time, the normal commentfield is empty.
Also correct.

But if I enter a value in the normal comment field, this will be written correctly, but at the same time the comment with a description is removed.

This is not exactly, what I expected.

Will note as a possible bug.

As far as I know dMC can only write 1 comment frame. Subsequent comments are converted to TXXX frames. This is a long standing issue.

I didn't go that far back to look for this problem.
That makes it so much more disapointing, that this has not been fixed yet.

It seems to me, that bug fixing takes a very long time with dbPoweramp.

Re: MP3 comment problem

It depends on the severity of the bug. This seems to be a low priority as it affects fewer users.

Spoon, hear our cries! Please put this back on the to-do list!!

(Also be aware that dMC writes comment frames with an illegal null language code which causes the comment to disappear in Windows Explorer. This is a trap for the unwary. Re-writing the tag with any tag editor should restore the language code.)
