        can someone tell me if an album can have an unknown track?
      • 2005-12-06 34025, 2005

      • 2005-12-06 34016, 2005

      • nechto13
        umm, so if i don't know the name of the track i'd put untitled?
      • 2005-12-06 34013, 2005

      • Shepard
        no, you call it [untitled] (really with brackets) if it has no given title
      • 2005-12-06 34049, 2005

      • Shepard
        if the title is just unknown (that is if you couldn't find any information about it after extensive research), call it [unknown]

      • Shepard
        no. but you should delete them if they are on an album
      • 2005-12-06 34043, 2005

      • inhouseuk
        you mean move the NAT tracks into an album? I don't believe it is possible to do that
      • 2005-12-06 34044, 2005

      • nechto13
        ok, thanks Shepard

        oh arse...
      • 2005-12-06 34059, 2005

      • nikki`
        I think I nuked my picard settings at some point and forgot to set them properly
      • 2005-12-06 34036, 2005

      • nikki`
        hmm
      • 2005-12-06 34037, 2005

      • nikki`
        maybe not.
      • 2005-12-06 34013, 2005

      • nikki`
        hmph.
      • 2005-12-06 34053, 2005

      • inhouseuk battles with the client library :(
      • 2005-12-06 34009, 2005

      • nikki`
        eyeD3 can few both fine...
      • 2005-12-06 34011, 2005

      • nikki`
        view not few
      • 2005-12-06 34039, 2005

      • nikki`
        but mpd reads one as unicode and the other as the same number of questions
      • 2005-12-06 34048, 2005

      • nikki`
        er
      • 2005-12-06 34051, 2005

      • nikki`
        question marks
      • 2005-12-06 34038, 2005

      • inhouseuk
        but eyeD3 show them both as unicode?
      • 2005-12-06 34042, 2005

      • nikki`
        yes
      • 2005-12-06 34058, 2005

      • inhouseuk
        maybe the data type hasn't been set correctly for the frame and for the wierd file mpd is seeing it as latin1
      • 2005-12-06 34009, 2005

      • nikki`
        nah
      • 2005-12-06 34016, 2005

      • nikki`
        if that were the case, it would be gibberish
      • 2005-12-06 34038, 2005

      • nikki`
        although quite possibly something along those lines
      • 2005-12-06 34044, 2005

      • inhouseuk
        the --debug option on eyeD3 will show the textframe encoding
      • 2005-12-06 34007, 2005

      • nikki`
        I wish I could customise how it displays stuff
      • 2005-12-06 34011, 2005

      • nikki`
        it takes too much space
      • 2005-12-06 34048, 2005

      • nikki`
        all utf-8
      • 2005-12-06 34002, 2005

      • inhouseuk
        the eyeD3 program is just an example of how the library can be used, just hack it, it's only python code with calls to the library
      • 2005-12-06 34010, 2005

      • nikki`
        hmm
      • 2005-12-06 34011, 2005

      • inhouseuk
        if there are utf-8, they must be id3v2.4 tags then?
      • 2005-12-06 34018, 2005

      • nikki`
        yes
      • 2005-12-06 34017, 2005

      • inhouseuk
        have you got font mapping for the unicode that displays as ???????
      • 2005-12-06 34036, 2005

      • nikki`
        hmm?
      • 2005-12-06 34050, 2005

      • inhouseuk has problems with korean showing as ???
      • 2005-12-06 34058, 2005

      • nikki`
        oh, that's not the problem
      • 2005-12-06 34001, 2005

      • nikki`
        they're duplicates
      • 2005-12-06 34030, 2005

      • nikki`
        but the more recently tagged one shows question marks whereas the older one shows it properly
      • 2005-12-06 34042, 2005

      • nikki`
        it seems to be happening for all the newer unicode, so I'm trying to work out why
      • 2005-12-06 34004, 2005

      • inhouseuk
        does eyeD3 with debug show the same byte sequences in the text frames on the two files
      • 2005-12-06 34051, 2005

      • inhouseuk
        it might be an endian problem
      • 2005-12-06 34016, 2005

      • nikki` wonders why picard would have suddenly started using a different endian
      • 2005-12-06 34006, 2005

      • inhouseuk
        great :( my email to mb-dev got placed on hold because it was over 40K, there was an rdf output attachment on it!
      • 2005-12-06 34013, 2005

        the working file starts with ID3 x04 x00 x00 x00 x03 x34 x72, whereas the non-working one has ID3 x04 x00 x00 x00 x00 x08 x3d ...

        aha!
      • 2005-12-06 34008, 2005

      • inhouseuk
        you found the problem?
      • 2005-12-06 34011, 2005

      • nikki`
        it's something in those bytes.
      • 2005-12-06 34052, 2005

      • nikki`
        when I replaced the x00 x08 x3d in the non-working file with the x03 x34 x72 from the working file, mpd reads it fine
      • 2005-12-06 34007, 2005

      • inhouseuk
        the id3 version number is somewhere at the beginning of the file
      • 2005-12-06 34014, 2005

      • nikki`
        yeah, those are the ame
      • 2005-12-06 34016, 2005

      • nikki`
        same.
      • 2005-12-06 34057, 2005

      • inhouseuk
        what you need to do is look at the mp3 spec and see what those bytes are used for
      • 2005-12-06 34010, 2005

      • nikki` is looking at the id3v2.4 thingy
      • 2005-12-06 34013, 2005

      • nikki` is not understanding
      • 2005-12-06 34037, 2005

      • inhouseuk
        that documentation is horrible
      • 2005-12-06 34036, 2005

      • inhouseuk
        did eyeD3 -v show the same frames on the two files
      • 2005-12-06 34046, 2005

      • nikki`
        yes
      • 2005-12-06 34009, 2005

      • inhouseuk
        damn
      • 2005-12-06 34023, 2005

      • inhouseuk
        have you got hexdump installed? the output from hexdump -C is quite useful as it shows the hex and displayable text
      • 2005-12-06 34020, 2005

      • nikki` used xxd
      • 2005-12-06 34044, 2005

      • nikki`
        huh
      • 2005-12-06 34024, 2005

      • nikki`
        oh wait
      • 2005-12-06 34052, 2005

      • nikki`
        it was stupid id3v1 tags confusing it...
      • 2005-12-06 34050, 2005

      • nikki`
        I'd told mpd to read them as utf-8, as picard writes v1 whether I want them or not
      • 2005-12-06 34055, 2005

      • nikki`
        but it seems it can't do that
      • 2005-12-06 34048, 2005

      • inhouseuk
        ah! v1 tags can only contain latin1
      • 2005-12-06 34053, 2005

      • nikki`
        I know
      • 2005-12-06 34010, 2005

      • nikki`
        but picard writes them as utf-8 for me
      • 2005-12-06 34034, 2005

      • inhouseuk
        that is very wrong
      • 2005-12-06 34056, 2005

      • nikki`
        of course it is! I told it to not write v1 tags!

      • 2005-12-06 34005, 2005

        inhouseuk: now we have inconsistency between the duplicate albums... also i think the older ID should be the one with the correct entry :)

        the network monitoring stuff is mainly just config and some scripting around nagios, so that isn't too hard
