#134 ID3COM - can't write to id3v2 tag

[Alec Doughty]

Hi,
I'm trying to write ID3v2 tags but the assignment
doesn't seem to be remembered.
ie
oFrame.Field(ID3_FIELD_TEXT).Text(1) = "Whatever"

if i then try to msgbox the contents

MsgBox oFrame.Field(ID3_FIELD_TEXT).Text(1)

i get the old value - as if assignment never took place.

therefore the .saveV2Tag assignment doesn't work as
it's got nothing new to write.

Could you please help me sort this out.
Thanks
Alec

The assignment works for me. Have you tried this method:

ID3_Frame newFrame;
newFrame.SetID(frame);
newFrame.Field(ID3FN_TEXTENC) = ID3TE_ASCII;
newFrame.Field(ID3FN_TEXT).Add("Whatever");
m_Tag.AddFrames(&newFrame, 1);

I believe you need to make the call to AddFrames() in order
to commit your changes.

See my SimpleID3 project
(http://sourceforge.net/projects/simpleid3). It provides .NET
and COM interfaces for id3lib.

I am having this problem too. Its as if you assign it a
text value, but after the assignment has happened, I check
it by using MsgBox oFrame.Field(ID3_FIELD_TEXT).Text(1) and
it returns the old value as you have described. I think
that ID3Com needs to be updated.

szamrej: this doesnt help, that might work if I was
strictly using id3lib. Any help with id3com would be
appreciated. Thanks.
