Hi,

Any confirmation if writing ID3v2.4 tags will be implemented in version 5?

I mainly use MM for tagging my files that get read by KODI. Now multiple genres are not split in Kodi. With v2.4 tags this would be resolved.

Even more important is that my car audio system can read v2.4 tags And they seem to be the only way to be able to get de mulitple artists and Mutiple genres processed correctly.

Really hope this will make it in version5.

Greetz...

Just a bump hoping to keep this out there till it gets resolved.

This may have been true in 2008, but today, seven years later, no modern player has troubles with ID3v2.4. Maybe some outdated ones still ignore that format, but that's why the are outdated. No modern player to my knowledge has any troubles with that format, on the contrary. Most of them are able to read more exotic stuff like itunes-tags and others as well.

The decission - though on purpose - not to support the ID3v2.4 standard, keeps MM in its outdates place. A modern software should offer tagging on a most broad scale and diversity. See "Mp3Tag" or "Helium Music Manager" for example.
People still use those old players though.

As long as we agree...let them select older tag formats instead of forcing everyone to live in the past with them.

Good news. At this point. I'd love to see full support for id3v2.4, conversion and clean tags tools. Needs to come soon though.

I'd prefer v2.4 tags but would settle for the option to write a custom separator in artist tag. Just as it is capable in other multi field tags. I've read the devs remarks regarding both options over the years. I've been a gold member since MM 3 and holding out since then. Researching and putting together other options to maintain my growing library.

If they wont implement these features then atleast make the interface reflect how the tag is actually being written. And document it or put a note near the field in options. Seems like that would have saved people many hours of frustration and research.

The ID3v2.4 is still regarded as too - what exactly? Exotic? New? Strange? Unusual??

Well, seems that MM will stay behind forever...

MM reads ID3v2.4 tags but doesn't write them. Many mp3 players don't read ID3v2.4 tags, but pretty much everything can understand ID3v2.3. It may be an intentional decision by the devs.

Juat realized I didn't post this in the Windows section somehow. Now I don't know how to change the location of the post. Sorry.

I know this has been discussed for years. Would like to just bring it up again. Everything I use has the capability to read v2.4 tags. I would love tge ability to atleast select the option to write only these tags. It's the only thing that has me contemplating moving from MM again.

I guess still no progress here, right?

Sorry, but I have expressed myself wrong.

XBMC reads ID3v2.3 and ID3v2.4. But if a tag has multiple entrys e.g. ARTIST='Alison Krauss; John Waite' they are only correctly stored in the database if ID3v2.4 is used.

Read this in a xbmc-forum. Can't find the thread at the moment.
