GoldWave 5.68 - the old MP3 ID3 tags problem returns

I haven't contributed to this forum for a while.... which says that Goldwave has been a hugely stable and dependable workhorse for me.... with no problems!!! A few times before I have come to the forum and said Goldwave x.xx messes up MP3 ID3 tags when 1/ saving 2/ re-sampling MP3 files. In each cas...

Saving FILE INFORMATION without re-compression

Hi, If I open a file (say MP3) in Goldwave, and edit only the FILE INFORMATION, is there any way I can save the OLD mp3 data with the NEW fileinfo? ie can I save the file without re-compression? Seems to me it would be good if GoldWave automatically detected this kind of edit and saved without re-co...

Re: GoldWave 5.53 and MP3 Tags

No, I accept what you say.

It's just that what GoldWave DOES do with TAGs suits me PERFECTLY for my PodCast re-processing.............

......... so I get a bit jittery when things change!!!!!

Re: GoldWave 5.53 and MP3 Tags

Well......
Just a week ago, before I upgraded to 5.53, I was using 5.25........... and it was writing ANSI tags using LAME 3.92.

Re: GoldWave 5.53 and MP3 Tags

Some research shows that software can drive lame_enc.dll (at 3.98.2) to encode with either ANSI or UNICODE Tags. It is not clear whether this is because: • The TAG data is PASSED in as ANSI/UNICODE • A switch/parameter is used on the call into the DLL Any clues on whether GoldWave can write ANSI TAG...

GoldWave 5.53 and MP3 Tags

It seems that as of 5.53, MP3 tags are saved in UniCode format.
I assume this is a feature of the LAME encoder.
Does anyone know when LAME stopped writing TAGs in ANSI ???

GoldWave 5.52 and ANY level of LAME

Having upgraded to GoldWave 5.52 I find that the LAME encoding behaviour seems to have completely changed. I have tried LAME levels 3.9.2, 3.9.3, 3.9.4, 3.9.5, 3.9.6, 3.96.1, 3.98.0, 3.98.2. I have tried these in the GoldWave installation folder AND as C:\WINDOWS\system32\lame_enc.dll I have always ...

Strange Behaviour

This may be a clue........... If I load an MP3 file on the "failing system", then edit it (say delete a few seconds), then try to SAVE, I am told: "Note: File information (artist, title, copyright, etc.) cannot be stored in this file format." Whereas if I do a SAVE AS, and select...

Well, here I am with egg on my face again!!!! This is very curious. The machine I was testing on for version up to and including 5.23 was my desktop. 5.25 has been running on my laptop. After my last post I though, "oh well, drop back to 5.23 on the laptop"... Well, on the laptop 5.23 cann...

More Specific Explanation

Chris, I should have been more specific.... I have a bunch of several hundred podcasts to process. They are all MP3 files. I use GoldWave to re-sample them (down-sampling with GoldWave AutoGain --- beautiful results).............. Anyway, every version of GoldWave that I have, up to and including 5....

Checking on LAME encoder

I am just checking on whether somehow, a back-level LAME encoder has been introduced.

Can anyone tell me how GoldWave selects which lame dll to use, if there are many of them hanging around the filesystem?

Goldwave 5.24 and ID3v2.4

I can see from my history that the changes probably occurred in 5.24 of GoldWave. Can any one tell me what the "rules" of ID3 processing now are? All I know at the moment is that my ID3v1 and ID3v2 tags are being shredded! Possibly GoldWave no longer copies ID3 tags that it doesn't make us...
