Hi, When looking into a Flac file with an hexadecimal editor, I observe that the different tags (date, tittle, etc...) are, one time all displayed in capital letters (DATE=), on an other time all displayed in minus letters (date=), or...a mix of both : some tags in capital letters, others in minus letters. For tagging (and encode/decode) I use the Flac Frontend listed on your site. When testing with Florian Heidenreich MP3Tag, all tags seem to always be displayed in minus letters. How can you explain that?

That looks ugly though, so it's common for applications to normalize the tag names. For more info see http://xiph.org/vorbis/doc/v-comment.html FLAC follows the same general format. Hope that helps, -r
