Hello,
I've been a loyal user of xmms since over a year ago when I switched my
main computer to Linux from Windows. I've noticed something about xmms that
bothers me though. Although it supports long (over 30 chars) song titles,
artist names, album titles, etc. when it's reading and displaying them, it
doesn't seem to be willing to WRITE them. I know ID3V1 doesn't support them,
but shouldn't xmms just truncate them when writing the ID3V1 and write the
whole thing in the ID3V2? Right now the tag editing GUI doesn't even allow
the input of anything past 30 characters.
Also, is there any plan for support of extra ID3V2 data? Back when I used
to use Musicmatch Jukebox (http://www.musicmatch.com/) in Windows, I loved
having extra info like paragraph-style comments, lyrics, artist website,
album cover picture... okay, I'll quit while I'm ahead. Nevermind the
pictures. *grin*
