Localization

[kos]

I am working on a project that needs to extract ID3 tags from songs submitted by users. I have no problems installing the getID3 and it works good for English character set. However I am not in control of what users are submitting to me. It could be ID3v2 ID3v1 UTF-8 local character set.

Any recommandation how I should approach this?

The best way I see so far is to analyze character set accepted by browser, but this way I will need to change getID3 source code for each request, which doesn't sound good.

I am posting mp3 file with russian charcter set that wasn't properly identified by demo.php but shows properly in iTunes on Mac Os

getID3 should work with pretty much any character set, assuming the file was tagged properly. Can you send a sample file (or link to) to info@getid3.org for analysis, please?

Sent it.

And what about this question? Problem solved or not?

correct the getid3.php file:

Code: Select all

   // public: Settings
   var $encoding        = 'cp1251';   // CASE SENSITIVE! - i.e. (must be supported by iconv())
                                 // Examples:  ISO-8859-1  UTF-8  UTF-16  UTF-16BE

   var $encoding_id3v1  = 'cp1251';   // Should always be 'ISO-8859-1', but some tags may be written in other encodings such as 'EUC-CN'
