Happy New Year to everyone in the community :tada: Recently, I became aware of an issue affecting my music collection, where tags were being modified by the ReplayGain scanner function of my player of choice (foobar2000, and if you're curious you can read about it in its fb2k forum entry ). To get …

[image] rboss: my/other user's music files' tags are valid across their respective tagging standard(s) (ID3, APE, etc.)?" I am not sure what you mean by checking the validity. As soon as MP3tag comes across tags that are unintelligeable by MP3tag are already flagged. If you look for tools t…

[image] ohrenkino: Have you tried 3.28a I have just finished installing 3.28a, and getting acquainted with MP3 Diags (which seems to be getting closer to what I'm looking for). I don't think that the particular scenario of the APIC tag modification is caused by Mp3Tag (I did mentioned in the…

[image] rboss: the fault (if there is one) appears to lie within foobar. We just had a case where files were downloaded from a public mediatec which had exactly that problem. Foobar could cope with those files and corrected the tag to V2.3 - because the problem occurs in V2.4 tags. Then MP3…

I repeated the same test described in the fb2k forum post using 3.28a and have had the exact same result. Again, I still don't believe the fault lies in Mp3Tag. [image] ohrenkino: We just had a case where files were downloaded from a public mediatec which had exactly that problem. The audio…

The reason why Mp3tag "repaired" your file referenced in the initial post is that Mp3tag doesn't apply unsynchronization for ID3v2.4 frame contents (the frame size always uses unsynced integers). [2021-04-08] CHG: not using ID3v2 unsynchronization scheme anymore when writing ID3v2.4 due to compat…

Yes, exactly! You're absolutely correct - Mp3Tag 'fixed' that file, and therefore it was valid against ID3v2.4. This goes to show the excellent work you've done when designing the program. Now, going back to the case of my original post in the fb2k forum, when applying RG info, the APIC frame was …

Feature suggestion: tag checking/validation
