Shibathedog Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 So im selling my ipod, which makes using iTunes a complete waste of time, i can finally switch to using the much better BSPlayer Pro all the time only problem is, BSPlayer Pro reads the ID3 tags differently than iTunes, in iTunes everything is labeled correctly (I spent hella time doing it) but in iTunes its either not reading the right tags (ID3V1 and ID3V2 are the different ones i think, im pretty sure iTunes reads V2 and BSPlayer reads V1, or the other way around) or just guessing from filenames needless to say the filenames are not nearly as neat as the ID3 tags, and whatever its reading if its reading tags at all isnt either is there any way to fix this?

Agozer Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 BSPlayer Pro only read ID3v1 tags, not ID3v2. To me BSPlayer is just a video player, nothing more. Just settle for Foobar or Winamp if you want ID3v2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shibathedog Posted November 16, 2006 Author Share Posted November 16, 2006 yeah i guess ill have to do so, on my old rig winamp produced a crappier sound than BSPlayer, and even iTunes for some reason, but i guess ill try it on my new one (My sound card IS alot better now) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shibathedog Posted November 16, 2006 Author Share Posted November 16, 2006 alright so i installed foobar and imported everything wow is it different from last i used it (lonnnnnng time ago) how do i get it to show the V2 tags? and is there a little search thing like iTunes has? EDIT: NVM i found the search, cant figure out the ID3 Tag thing though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shibathedog Posted November 16, 2006 Author Share Posted November 16, 2006 the other thing i would like is some kind of tray icon instead of minimizing it and a way to get it to show just Artist - Album - Song Name (which i think i know how to do, but i gotta get it to show the V2 tags first or its not gonna show much) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wizard Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 I quit using foobar due to it being mildly retarded. Anyways, Itunes uses both ID3v1 & 2 (If 2 is empty, it uses 1, if theres only 2, it uses 2, if theres none, then theres none! Winamp has a thing where it trims out stuff (Rage_against_the_machine to Rage against the machine etc), but still leaves it tagless). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agozer Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 At the very least, Winamp let's you fully customize what fields from the tags are shown in the playlist + either enable or disable the feature than changes _ and %20 to spaces.

Shibathedog Posted November 16, 2006 Author Share Posted November 16, 2006 yeah i guess im gonna have to just go back to winamp, although i like the super powerful equalizer in foobar/customization options BTW since im selling my iPod, are there any good portables that support OGG format? hows the Zune?

Shibathedog Posted November 17, 2006 Author Share Posted November 17, 2006 hmm i just got a simpler idea there was some app i used to have where it would take all the info it could from the V2 tags, and apply them to the V1 tags, anyone remember what that app is? or an app that can do that?

Agozer Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 Well, I don't remember if it specifically does what you ask for, but Mp3Tag is one of the best tag editors out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
