Not particularly. But in principle and ideally I think you'd start by reading them all, and then merge those that are non-contradictory (e.g. because they have the same value or because some field exits only in one). Of the conflicting ones you can assign a score, for which you could for example see how much data is set in each of these. Also the ones that are most popular and easiest to add (I suspect id3v1/id3v2) should have some priority. In addition it would be possible to just export the raw data in conflicting case, e.g. have Author = "best guess" ID3v2/Author = "best guess" ape/Author = "we ignored this one" But honestly I'm kind of the wrong person to ask because I never tagged any of my files, file names are plenty good enough for me... _______________________________________________ ffmpeg-devel mailing list ffmpeg-devel@ffmpeg.org http://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-devel
