wincab probs

<< < (2/4) > >>

dibb1er:
i seem to have found an answer to the fast playing songs.

they are all VBR that have been corrupted or were created using some crappy software or something.

to fix, i converted back to .wav, then re-encoded back to mp3.
they run ok now without crashing wincab.

ive only identified 2 songs so far, but i do have 6500 songs, so it might take a while to find all the problem ones   :badmood:

dibb1er:
anyway, here's some "In Progress" pics of my desktop juke
got a few things to yet, like install the buttons which havent arrived yet, and paint it of course....

i will be putting in some rca outputs in case it needs to be hooked up to a larger sound system for parties   

cscon115:
OK!

So, as I read this I take it like this...  Wincab uses ID3v1.

When I look up the specs on ID3V1 I see the layout looks like this...
          Song title        30 characters
          Artist               30 characters
          Album              30 characters
          Year                  4 characters
          Comment        30 characters
          Genre               1 byte

And when I use ITunes to rip the CD's the tag shows track number, group number, etc. So I can only assume that because this info is not in the V1 Standard, ITunes must be using a different standard (Something greater than V1).

Does anyone know of a ripper that uses V1 tags? Does anyone know of software that will convert the tags to V1?

Here is another question... If wincab is using v1, how does it get the title, author, and track number? Is that from the file structure (file names, folder names, etc.)?

Oh - Nice Juke Dibb1er, I'll be looking for the final pics!  (My final pics are going to be posted soon!)

i use mp3tag if i have to change a heap of songs (if i have mistakenly put the wrong artist or something), but i usually just use winamp for modifying single songs.

in mp3tag you can specify whether to use id3v1 or id3v2 or both.
its also freeware

Chris:
Sorry I haven't been replying to this thread...

WinCab uses ID3v2 tags; it falls back to v1 if a v2 tag isn't available.

My guess is that ITunes is doing something odd with the track number tag. The library I'm using to read the tags is the official one... what does Windows Media Player show the track number as? If you are using Windows XP, you can go to File | Properties | Summary and edit the track number.  What does the track number say here?  If you edit it here, what does it show in WinCab?
