Classic dialog would help me great.īTW, maybe anybody knows player or tagging software which displays and edit ID3v1 and ID3v2 on one screen ? I'll use it and my sufferings ends. It's a Hell !!! And constant switching between tabs is another Hell. ID3v1 has Title, and Artist is empty, and ID3v2 has Title empty but has Artist and Year filled in. But some files have ID3v1 (need to copy it to ID3v2), some - ID3v2 (it is OK, nothing to do), some ID3v2 with ID3v1 but ID3v1 truncated or rubbish like Track01, Unknown Artist, etc (need to del ID3v1), some have different information in the same tag in ID3v1 and ID3v2, like demo.mp3 on my screens (don't know what to do with this), some have correct information among some fields in ID3v1, and other correct information among some fields in ID3v2. I'm trying to put in order a pile of mp3 files. My goal is to get rid of ID3v1 and tag all files with ID3v2. but why are you even worrying about the older ID3v1 tags?Quite the contrary. 5.x to 6.x) and get other complaints.Īsking a silly question.

Maybe the window could be larger but as there is a specified size which was set with the 5.5 release and there are 3rd party-plug-ins which use the interface so changing it would then make then look out of place (really something that should only be changed on a full version bump e.g. so it was changed to make things generally more consistent in how tags are viewed / edited (though a lack of 3rd party interest means its not been used as much as it could be). I'm not trying to detract from the suggestion but it is quite focused on one file format whereas changing it would completely mess-up the handling with other file formats. Secondly, where would the lyrics3 and APEv2 tags go on the dialog (as they are valid for MP3 files) ? this is another reason for the tab setup being done so that all known / supported tags can be shown.

The change was to have a unified view for any tag format and not just those of MP3 tags so a tabbed option with a generic overview (Basic Info) which allows for setting of most of the fields on the other tabs was done.įirst thing with the mocked dialog is that it pretty much fills my screen (laptop - 1280 x 800 so i can't easily change that) and even though people are generally using larger screen,s it doesn't mean all are and so a lower level still needs to be maintained for it to work (have seen quite a few netbook users using Winamp so a much larger screen would then be impossible to be used for them which would get more complaints). It is only a small change in UI, a hour of work, no more, Maybe implement basic dialog (like screen 2) and extended (and allow it to be changed in Preferences), something like this:Īll in one page ! No tabs ! Simple and clear ! I wish you very much to implement optional possibility to bring back old-style file info dialog with one-screen displaying and editing of both ID3v1 and ID3v2 tags, like on first screen. Why squeeze information in a small window ? When I started using Winamp I'v got 800圆00, now - 1680x1050. To know size and bitrate - click Basic Info tab. To know about ID3v2 tag - click ID3v2 tab. To know about ID3v1 tag - click ID3v1 tab. Now user have to switch between tabs to view all tags. Very often downloaded files have a mess in tags, and previous file info dialog helped very much in putting them in order. I agree, it may be good when files are properly tagged and there is order and peace in MP3 collection. And Basic Info tab (why ? for simplicity ?). Then suddenly things changed and tabs appeared:Įvery tag now has its tab. It was really awesome !!! File tagging was very easy those days. Just press Alt+3 and quickly get info about presence and content of both tags, then can quickly edit them. It was very convenient and informative: user didn't need to switch between tabs to view all information about MP3 file. Many years ago, mp3 file information window was like this: I miss only one thing in it and now try to explain which.

At first I want to thank developers of Winamp for making it is a best media player.
