View Full Version : MP3 Plugin: How'd you do that?


12-Feb-2006, 06:07 AM
I'm curious about what the MP3 plugin is doing.
For instance, does it ignore the sequence of ID3 frames?
(If file1.mp3 and file2.mp3 are identical but have frames
in a different order, does it flag them as different?)

If it runs into an unknown tag, does it display it anyway?

Internal mechanics: Is there a generalized frame parser
that builds a sorted list of frames? Is it based on
source code from any available library?

thanks for any insights

I haven't tested it myself, but I think if the order is different the plug-in will still consider the tags a match.

It will also display unknown tags, but they'll be marked unimportant unless you change the comparison rules.

We use the Delphi ID3v2 library from: http://www.audioxl.com/id3v2lib.html

Thanks. The ID3 plugin is a great feature.
