Re: [Bug-gnupod] 4G iPod id3 genre import problem

Hello,

I could reproduce the problem with tags written by 'id3tag'

Looks like this file got an ID3v1.1 and an ID3v2.x tag and the
Genre-field of the V2 tag simply is '(NUM)', not a string..
(GNUpod prefers ID3v2 tags..)


I added a workaround for this. GNUpod 0.96rc1 should solve the problem:

To get rid of Genres like (12), you'll have to edit
the GNUtunesDB.xml by hand or you could remove all faulty songs
and add them again, like this:

gnupod_search.pl --genre="\(\d+\)"  #Regexp search..
gnupod_search.pl --genre="\(\d+\)" --delete #Remove them..
find /my/music | gnupod_addsong.pl -

Please give me feedback if it worked ;)

Bye
