Really? I have a bunch of ID3v2.4 tagged mp3s here that play fine in the preview tab and the tags are displayed correctly as well.

Please send me an mp3 that does not work.
See this post: http://www.xyplorer.com/xyfc/viewtopic. ... 15#p133615

Based on the tests performed just now with the archive from this post, XY now fails back to the preview handler on v2.4 which is nice improvement but not quite as nice as native previews.
