#93 add option to write id3v2 tags as lating1 instead of UTF

[Hans Oesterholt-Dijkema]

My device (Philips GoGear 2GB) doesn't support UTF IDv3 tags.
I would like it when I could toggle a latin1 character encoding in mp3splt (the supportlibrary seems to support latin1 encoding).

You are using the command line version (mp3splt) or the graphical user interface mp3splt-gtk ?

[Hans Oesterholt-Dijkema]

I'm using libmp3splt from banshee (mono binding)

[Munteanu Alexandru]

I had no idea libmp3splt is used in other software than mp3splt and mp3splt-gtk. I have just released a new version of libmp3splt (0.8) with the public API completely changed. This version has a complete documentation of the API:
http://mp3splt.sourceforge.net/mp3splt_page/documentation/libmp3splt_api/index.html
I'm afraid that you have to change your software to match this new API.
If you need any support for the API, you can contact me at 'm AT ioalex.net'.

For the feature request, I will take a look and post back here when I'll do it. I believe it's not very difficult to implement this.

I have added an option to the latest development version:
http://sourceforge.net/p/mp3splt/code/1212/

Using
mp3splt_set_int_option(state, SPLT_OPT_ID3V2_ENCODING, SPLT_ID3V2_LATIN1);
will make ID3V2 tags to be written using LATIN1.

Please let me know if you want a packaged snapshot of it.

Now also available in the latest release (0.8.1 & 2.5.1):

I am closing the ticket for now.
Please post here if necessary.
