hi I just started implementing a flac importer for my program, and I'm curious confused about the best practices regarding the extraction of file meta-information. according to the standard, id3v1 tags can be found appended to the flac file and id3v2 tags can be found prepended to the flac file. I'm actually seen neither of these in practice and am wondering as to the popularity of the schemes. More popualr seems the OggVorbis comment block in the file metadata, which I wrote an importer for. Do people think an importer should check for all three types of tagging, or OggVorbis the way things are going here? Thank you for your help, please pardon me for my newness, Ankur - all hail the metamachine. http://www.overnet.com # 204 . 39 W14th St . 212-989-3555
