About Tags (1.6.1 and 1.7)

Sorry but you are wrong.
Check my tracks analyzed with Cross in Cross Mediabase:

1.5.5.JPG

And after closing Cross the results in mp3tag:

As you can see Cross 1.5.5 stores demical numbers. There is something wrong with saving tags in 1.6 or 1.7. Please check if there is a possibillity your bpm values are from 1.5.5 and not from 1.6 or 1.7.

Thanks a lot

Hi,

If ever it used to work as you're saying, it was a bug we never noticed !
The BPM field in ID3 tags is specified as being an integer, despite the fact that some apps write decimals (as Cross might have done before ).

Here are the id3 specs dealing with this:

http://www.id3.org/id3v2.4.0-frames

4.2.3. Derived and subjective properties frames

TBPM
The 'BPM' frame contains the number of beats per minute in the
main part of the audio. The BPM is an integer and represented as a
numerical string.

We could write (and read) decimal values, but specs are to be followed and it would potentially break some third party apps...
By the way, thanx for spotting this, we'll be thinking about this and see if it can be a good thing not to respect the specs

Cheers,

I am not asking to make Cross saving demicals in bpm. I am just trying to understand if Cross saves tag info correct. I think that there is a probplem with saving info..anyway i'll do more tests and see what's wrong, or maybe i am doing something wrong and need some help.

Thanks a lot

Reading you previous posts, i checked several points, and found comments aren't saved in tags anymore.
Just fixed it for the next update.

You can also have issues with artworks that aren't saved anymore either. But this can't be fixed easily, so maybe later.

It seems that were the only buggy fields so far.
Let us know if you find some other fields that aren't saved properly.

Cheers,

not to big of a issue but the audio config settings were saved in previous versions, now i have to reset them every time you start Cross

Thanks, can you please check the gain of a track, when relocating it? The gain is set to 0db and it needs to be re-analyzed.

Thanks a lot
