Serious problem with MP3 files and the "describe" function!

[Ivan Linares]

Good evening for everyone!

First and foremost, I apologize for any English writing mistake this message might contain -- I am Brazilian, from the northeastern city of the Recife (the city's name indeed has an article, and is Portuguese for "reef"; --come visit it!).

Recently I have learnt about the "describe" function in the "Library" section, which is very useful when used to clarify the content of text files. The problem came when I used it to write some comments in my music MP3 files.

Problem is, once a music file (at least a MP3) receives a comment through LimeWire, it becomes unrecognizable to every MP3 player but that one included on LW.

I have tried to erase the comments, but the files are still unrecognizable. This is a serious problem that need to be fixed to prevent anybody else having their songs becoming unplayable.

But meanwhiles... What could I do to fix that?

Thank you for the attention, and good luck in fixing the problem!

The bug is with WMP. So long as the song file has nothing to do with WMP it won't be corrupted. Apparently WMP doesn't understand compressed id3 tag data ... despite most other players do. So perhaps stay clear of WMP. iTunes & winamp are better anyway.

If you're going to describe a song, do it before you add it to WMP. But better not to add it to wmp anyway. lol

I should point that the "unrecognizable" problem happens to the Apple Quicktime player, too!

Thank you for the answer. And thanks even more for the almost immediate answer!
(But I hope the other players don't are as big as the 40 mb of the "iTunes"! I tried to download it, but it takes too much time! )

See you next problem! 8^)
