Hello ,
I don’t understand why every version after version 2.69 adds a space at the end of my comment tag In traktor while the tag looks ok in mp3 tag but in traktor i get a space at the end of the comment tag and the lyrics tag
You can open such a music file in hex-editor and check if there is really a space at the end of the COMMENT tag.
It looks like this for a test mp3 with Mp3tag v3.31d:
There is no space at the end
How does it looks in your file(s)?
If there is no space in your files too, you should ask in the Traktor forum.
If there were a space, it would look like this:
and
I doubt that this has anything to do with the version - no-one else reports this.
Please check the column definition for the column in which you enter the comment and see if the entry for
Value: %comment%
has a trailing space.
Does the number of trailing spaces increase with every time that you press Ctrl-S?
if version 2.69 never does the space how can you say it’s not this version that does this ?
It’s not a traktor problem
V2.69 was released in 2015. Now we have 2025. I would say that 10 years in between would have caused a massive amount of support requests about this topic and probably a correction so that it does not happen any more.
But I think that such considerations do not bring us any further.
What was the result of the definition check for the COMMENT column and the repeated attempts to save data?
So you see the trailing space after your COMMENT in a hex-editor in your music files?
ok i think i resolved the problem by using ID32.3 ISO-8859-1 instead of ID3V2.3 UTF-16 option for saving tags but it is strange .
the space only shows in traktor . Also i noticed many people are not meticulous with their tags like me for example . I like to be very consistent in my tags .
no only in traktor there is a space at the end
So it is a traktor problem?
You could filter for files that have a trailing space in a field with e.g.
"$if($eql($len(%comment%),$len($trim(%comment%))),1,0)" IS "0"
and see which and how many files match that condition.
You could then apply Convert>Tag-Tag for COMMENT for these files with
Format string: $trim(%comment%)
and see what traktor makes of it.
After that take a single file from the tidied list and press Ctrl-S and apply the filter again and check if that file appears in the filtered list.
ok ty i will try but again it’s not a traktor problem . It’s mp3tag that causes this condition in traktor
ok i can confirm that with the new version of traktor (traktor 4) this is not a problem . The problem is with traktor 2 and the new version of mp3tag . It’s strange that mp3tag 2.69 does not have this problem . Maybe it has to do with the fact that traktor 2 uses id3 2.4 and traktor 3 and 4 uses id3 2.3
I think that MP3tag V2.69 also supported V2.4 tags.
i retried it in traktor 4 and the problem is still there
i think traktor is reading id3 v1 , so thats the problem , once i used mp3tah to remove the id3 v1 tag the problem seems to be gone
AFAIk there are no
in V1 tags. Could you check if you really solved the problem?
sure you can remove v1 in mptag
No doubt about that.
But you said in your initial post that the problem also occurst in
and if there is an interference between V1 and V2 tags then I only want to add that there is no tag field for lyrics in V1 tags.
So, I would suggest that you check the lyrics display in traktor to see if the problem is really gone.
the comments is a problem . Some have space and some don’t . Its really weird
