![]() ![]() ![]() I'm fine with fb2k not recognizing TLEN - I wasn't going to use it anyway. Apparently LAME writes this tag automatically (the duration of the track in milliseconds) to help some MP3 players display the correct duration on VBR files. Just FYI, I looked back on some old notes of mine and determined that LENGTH is the name MP3tag uses for the field 'TLEN'. So, I think my question is this: Is there a way to get fb2k to recognize the IPLS tag so I can display it somewhere when using fb2k? Just as TENC is called 'ENCODEDBY' in MP3tag and 'ENCODED BY' in fb2k, I can see that what Mp3tag calls 'INVOLVEDPEOPLE' is the ID3V2.3 field 'IPLS' and I can see that (if that list is up-to-date) that fb2k does *not* handle this field "natively." Okay, your links were very helpful - I can condense and clarify my question now. (I understand the friendly names thing, so for now I deliberately removed those so fb2k would show me just the tags it recognizes, with the "unfriendly" names on display.) That's right, INVOLVEDPEOPLE and LENGTH just aren't there on the properties list. (Fields show up in the order listed, you might have to scroll right to find some, might be easier to copy/paste to Notepad) ![]() You could also add Encoded By=ENCODED BY so that field would always show up in Properties even when empty. Here for example you could change Date=DATE to Year=DATE and foobar would call it Year instead. Go File menu > Preferences > Advanced > Display > Properties dialog > Standard fields. You can change the friendly names that foobar uses for tags when you look at track Properties. These are I suppose the suggested "standards" to use. For other tag types, see this document - Tag Mapping. ENCODED BY for example is the friendly name that goes to the TENC tag frame for ID3. If you are writing ID3 tags (MP3), see this document - foobar ID3 Tag Mapping. Media players use different friendly names for tags, while also having internal tag mapping for compatibility between programs. The LENGTH one is maybe considered a tech info field in foobar which might override a tag(?) - not sure on the behaviour. How do you mean foobar does not see INVOLVEDPEOPLE? When you right-click a track > Properties, there is no such tag at the end? I'm certainly no expert on the inner workings of tagging, just to say I might get stuff wrong. ![]()
