lame3.99.5 in XMPlay 3.6.0.1 on Windows XP SP3
Command line : lame - %o -V0 -q0 --ignore-tag-errors --add-id3v2 --tt %1 --ta %2 --tl %3 --ty %4 --tn %5 --tg %6 --tc %7
If I encode an old mp3 with the tag id3v2 "genre" empty, the new MP3 shows always the tag "genre" (id3v1 and id3v2 ) with "blues" !!!
All other tag are good or stay empty.
If the id3v2 tag "genre" of the old MP3 is not empty, the tag (id3v1 and id3v2) "genre" for the new MP3 are always OK.
No problem with Lame 3.98.4
tks
LAME in version 3.100 will ignore genre tagging, if "genre" is an empty string.
