** Description changed: Binary package hint: beep-media-player + + This bug was found in Dapper's beep-media-player. I'm not sure if it + exists in other releases/distros. Open the attached MP3 in beep, right click on the track in beep's playlist and select "View Track Details". beep will fill the "Title", "Artist", etc. fields with "garbage". I can see that the ID3 tags aren't invalid (at least not completely) because XMMS and kid3 (and probably other music players / tag editors) display the tag's values properly. Note that, beep is based off (a fork, I guess) of XMMS, so this might provide some hints in locating the bug. I'm not certain, but it looks like the same "junk data" is always placed in each of the Title, Artist, and Album fields. The data in the Year field looks to differ only by its length; it is truncated to four characters. The Comment field is empty, but I suspect this is because there is no Comment field present in the ID3 tags. Another interesting behaviour that I noticed: When I open this file in beep, the second time that I "View Track Details" I get a different set of junk data - the data seems to change slightly each time that I view the details. It seems to "change the most" between the 1st viewing and 2nd viewing, though. Very strange...
