MP3 ID3V2 tag oddity

General

Hi all,

I wonder if Axel or any othe other audio gurus might be able to see what I’m doing wrong here.

I have mp3 tagging working just fine but am struggling with the WXXX v2 tag - ie. it’s just not being stored . Here’s the relevant part of the code

    s=LamePath + " --alt-preset insane" _
    +" --ta " + ReplaceAll(artist, " ", "\\ ") _
    +" --tt " + ReplaceAll(title, " ", "\\ ") _
    +" --tl " + ReplaceAll(album, " ", "\\ ") _
    +" --ty " + year _
    +" --tc " + ReplaceAll(comment, " ", "\\ ") _
    +" --tv TCON=" + ReplaceAll(genre, " ", "\\ ") _
    +" --tv TBPM=" + bpm _
    +" --tv TSRC=" + isrc _
    +" --tv TPUB=" + ReplaceAll(publisher, " ", "\\ ") _
    +" --tv TCOM=" + ReplaceAll(composer, " ", "\\ ") _
    +" --tv WXXX=" + "http://www.mywebsite.co.uk" _
    +" --ti " + image.ShellPath _
    +" --tn " + tracknum + "/" + trackcount _
    +" " + source.ShellPath _
    +" " + dest.ShellPath _
    
    mp3shell.Execute s

I’ve also tried excaping the special characters in the url to

+" --tv WXXX=" + "http\\:\\/\\/www\\.mywebsite\\.co\\.uk" _

but it’s still not working.

The shell isn’t throwing an error either and all the other tags are being stored normally.

Any ideas?

Ah - I just noticed that WXXX requires additional arguments - that’ll be it.

May I ask what cli you’re using to set the tags?
