Summary: APE tags should be preffered over ID3v1
Classification: Platform
Product: GStreamer
Version: git
OS/Version: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: Normal
Component: don't know
AssignedTo: gstreamer-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org

GNOME version: ---
If for example an MP3 file includes both APE tags and ID3v1 tags at the end of
the file, typefind first finds the ID3v1 tag at the end and after id3demux
having parsed that the APE tag that comes before the ID3v1 tag is found and
read.
Now with ID3v1 being a very limited format and not having a clear definition of
the character set used, reading non-ASCII titles (especially Shift-JIS or
GB18030) from ID3v1 mostly results in garbled characters. As it is parsed
before the APE tag, media players etc. will usually display the not very useful
ID3v1 title. I would therefore propose that in case of ID3v1 and APE tag both
being present, the APE tag should be preffered.
