Ape tag Support problem
SilverSquadron - 9-21-2004 at 12:32 PM

Which program is responsble for displaying music tags
1) Winamp or 2) eJukebox?

At the moment i cannot get APE files displayed descent into the playlist. !

Winamp does not add APE tag support (see the forums) so i suggest that AT LEAST the filename should be used, to split into artist, track and title.

That we eJukebox should not support all the diffenerent tag types !!

I think its winamp since eJukebox is just a plugin. I am guessing if winamp doesn't support it eJukebox won't either.

That was a reference to "Planet of the Apes".

"Get your filthy paws off me, you dirty ape", or something similar. But to play .APE files, you need a Winamp plugin, but after that, it is up to eJukebox. EJ decides which files to add to its database, and also what info to extract from the files. It could easily use the "artistname - tracknr - filename" method, but getting the tag info requires a lot more work from Audiosoft.

Oke, if that is the case, than when eJukebox wants to RATE an APE file, it should implemented in eJukebox itself and not winamp ! Is that correct ?

Maybe rating a song that is NOT an mp3 should be saved into a textfile with the same filename.. That would work for any music type.

At the moment RATING an APE file shows the correct rating, but as soon as the database is refreshed, the ratings are restored again.

Or maybe the ratings could be stored into a database file itself ??.

Hmm. so much for standarisation !!!!
