The id3tag SC can only edit id3v1 tags (as stated in the reference), but somehow when retrieving the current tags using

Code: Select all

text id3tag();  //just return the ID3v1 tags of the current file

it retrieves the id3v2 tags.

I was trying to create a script that retrieves the current tags and saves any edits I do, but was unable to because of this.

Is this a bug or have I missed something?

id3tag() can return id3v2 tags as well (and will if they are present in the file), but not write them. I'll update the help.

PS: actually I will update the command...
