similar to: documentation on icecst stream

The protocol of sending of metadata over a stream (which is HTTP) does not allow for this type of thing. The problem is not necessarily the fact that the id3 tags are at the end of the files, as id3v2 does not have this restriction, but rather just the "agreed" upon protocol for handling metadata for streamed mp3s (and I'm only going to talk about mp3s here, since it's

Where is documentation on the format of the icecast stream. I can only find docs on the server. I've asked this before and several said RFC 2616, which says NOTHING about icecast streams. So, where is the docs on the actual streaming. Is it mp3? mp3 with id3v2? tj

Hello, I heard from a coworker that there was something that changed recently with FLAC and ID3. I don't have ANY details on what that means, and was wondering what has changed. The only thing I see (in the changelog) is that plugins have removed support for ID3 tags. I'm curious because I have been using ID3 tags with FLAC (I store extra data such as album art with my media files,

Hi, I just had a problem that is not described in the faq and it was quite hard to find the right fix so I wanted to send it here, hoping it will be added to the faq. The error message is the same as in: http://www.xiph.org/archives/vorbis/200210/0073.html Warning: Hole in data found at approximate offset 5238000 bytes. Corrupted ogg. In this case it was caused by id3tags added by grip.

I've been with FLAC since 0.7, and I've loved the FLAC files I've ripped with grip, converted from FLAC 0.8 to 0.9, and played constantly on my desktop. And then I noticed the truncated ID3 tags in my FLAC files. I at first thought the problem lied in FLAC; I posted to this list, hoping for a solution. But then I realized my trusty GRIP was the flawed program. Now re-ripping my

Alright. So, the tag proposal that has been labored over for some months has now been reclassified a bit. There new URL is now here: http://reactor-core.org/ogg-tag-recommendations.html And is prefaced by the following statement: "The following recommendations were developed by a community of Ogg/Vorbis users for their own use." I believe the implication is that this document

after spending a lot of time integrating X-Fixer's winamp2 plugin code, I am on the verge of removing id3 v1/v2 support from the plugins completely. it is really hard to get right in a way that works intuitively for the user, and i18n is also a nightmare. in id3v2 every field can have a different encoding. FLAC tag a.k.a. Vorbis comment support is very good now so unless someone comes up

Hi, I've been working writing some tools that deal with id3v2 tags on mp3 files. id3v2 is this really, really long specification with places for all kinds of metadata for media. I've looking at the sample vorbis encoder and a file I made from it I noted that you have some a comment field, and I was wondering if you had any plans to support more metadata, and if you would

OK, that's what I thought, but wanted to be sure. I've been updating some metadata handling routines in our application and heard something about this and was curious. > the spec

Firstly, a big thank-you to Josh for FLAC. Someone mentioned it in a post on Slashdot, so I came over to sourceforge for a look-see. This is just the sort of thing I've been looking for. Can anyone relate any general tips for using flac on Windows for the purpose of archiving cd's? If I can nail down a solid, easy-to-use process, I'm happy to write it up and contribute it to the

So there are no command line options like in oggenc to do artist and misc tags? Sure if you've got a solution that I don't have to do from scratch then post away! :-) Thanks!

What is the best way to add song metadata (artist, album, title, etc.) to flac files? I want to be able to define an arbitrary number of FIELD=value pairs. Earlier I heard someone mention using id3 tags. I tried this with the command-line "id3v2", and while it seemed to work I noticed that the resulting file no longer began with "fLaC", which violates the format

thx oddsock for your detailed reply, I think I now understand the problem :) I'm currently using a php-script (mp3 toolbox - http://www.radiotoolbox.com/downloads/) to stream static mp3's on-demand, and this script obviously sends the icy-headers (which are the shoutcast metadata protocol, right?). however, I think that it would be a nice feature for icecast to support these

All, I've been setting up an Asterisk PBX over the past few days and I stumbled across a problem with mpg123 that I have not seen documented anywhere. If you put mp3 files into your mohmp3 directory and these files have ID3v2 tags, mpg123 will throw an error message "Found new ID3 Header", regardless of the -q flag. This, in turn, will cause Asterisk to crash (yes), although

Hi, I'm writing a tag-editor for ogg files. What tags, besides ogg-tags, are allowed in ogg files (if any). I'm thinking of id3v1, id3v2, ape tags and so on. I have a (probably small) problem with writing a new "comment header". I have tried opening a file with a valid header, and then simply moved some of the comment tags position, so that the total size and the count still

I have a CD collection of about 20 discs that I currently archive on my hard disk in MP3 format. No, I do not like lossy compression. No, I do not like closed standards. No, I do not like software patents (Fraunhofer). In fact, I do not even need compression at this point, as my hard disk capacity is greater than the sum total of the CDs' WAV-format sizes. However, I need its ID3

I have been following flac development for some time now, but with the release of 1.0.4 I thought I would finally start the task of encoding my entire cd collection into flac format. After looking through the list archives and the webpage I still have a few unanswered questions. 1. What is the best method tagging method to use? Josh mentioned that id3v1 was preferred over id3v2 since it

I've been using FLAC for just over two years now, and I've been on the list for as long. I asked in March of 2001 about ID3 V1 and V2, and learned that both are supported. However, since then FLAC has moved to being an Ogg project, and the Vorbis comment field seems to be more capable. More than once, if I recall correctly, I've read Josh Coalson cursing his support for ID3 tags.

Hi, I'm wondering: If you have audio files like foo1.ogg and foo1.mp3, and the Vorbis file has nice comments (title, tracknumber, artist, album, date, etc), is there a tool to copy the information to an MP3 file on a "best effort" strategy? I know that MP3 TAGs are quite limited regarding lengths. Regards, Ulrich

hey, as far as ogg option goes, am i correct to assume that it is only usefull so that you can use anything that supports ogg to play the files on another note, how can i add id3v2 tags to native flac files? is there are command line player for flac? thanx for the help. ben
