Please consider adding support for ID3 v2.4 tagging (both reading and writing).

Thanks,

Re: ID3 v2.4

I believe ID3v2.4 support is planned for R13, but I am not sure if it will be in it or not. If it is, I believe only read-only support is planned.

Out of my curiosity, why do you want support for it? What program do you use that reads it, foobar?

Re: ID3 v2.4

Thanks for the reply.

I'm running Squeezeboxes (Now a Logitech product) to play my music throughout my house. They have excellent support of ID3 v2.4. In particular I like to use TSOP for Artist Sort Order. For tagging purposes I use Mp3tag which has also completely embraced the newer standard.

Most of the time this is no problem for me. I rip using dbPowerAmp (in v2.3) and then up to v2.4 (in mp3tag) as I tweak my tags before adding to my server.

What brought it to my attention again was my desire to add ReplayGain to some of my older files. As I ran it through dbPowerAmp's Batch Converter I lost these fields. In general, since I keep my tags in v2.4, I can't use dbPowerAmp's tools for anything which manipulates my tags.

Cheers, David

Re: ID3 v2.4

The id3v2.4 implementation is a bit of a mess, files created in Foobar will not read correctly in iTunes, so if we implemented it the board would fill with exactly that question, there is no issue with 2.3
