202222 2003-12-23 20:31:00 I just don't like it as a tagging format. It's very slow to use. APE2 is much faster and can store just as much. APE2 with ID3V1 is good for compatibility. -=JM=- (16)
202223 2003-12-24 22:01:00 I have to ask.

What is AEP2 and what programs support it.

Surley it is bad enough having the two !D formats we have now.

What is wrong with ID3 and what is better about AEP2 ?

PS

Does anyone else on F1 use Foobar ?

If not perhaps you may wish to try it ?

:p :D


Yes, I am a Foobar2000 fan after being put onto it by JM . Since I don't really use all the bells and whistles that Winamp has got I like Foobar's simplicity and I can dress it up a little if I want to .

A good trick that JM taught me was redoing all the . mp3 tags with Masstagger which is absolutely brilliant . It took a bit of experimenting to get them how I wanted them but after that it was a breeze .


> has no volume controls etc ?

The Plus key on keypad for volume up and Minus key for volume down .


> I tried the Special version, only because I have a few misc WMA files spread around .

I didn't know that . Will have to get that one then because I have a few . wma files as well .


> Once you get Susan using something there always seems to be a whole heap more people that try it out .

Meh! :p

Thanks for recommending Foobar to me.

I really like the way you can have 3 or 4 (or more ?) playlists loaded and then see which one is playing and then easily swap between them !

And it reads my Winamp playlists no worries.

Happy New Year.
