Embed art deleted after lame conversion

Post by ren072 »

Hi,

I have some mp3 containing large cover art (>128kb)
It seems TGF 0.86b2 embed lame 3.98.4. Now, lame 3.99 adresses this 128kb limit.

Would it be possible to update TGF with the last version of lame?

Thanks

I am not using lame to copy over the ID3v2 tags so you should not have any issues with that.
But you can use any lame.exe binary you want, just copy it to the bin folder, (I will probably update in the next version as well).

Hi,

I have indeed upgraded the lame included in TGF with this one:
http://www.rarewares.org/mp3-lame-bundle.php

I want to reencode this mp3:
https://soundcloud.com/a-skillz-1/a-ski ... kuts-beats
I'm using this command: lame -m j -q 2 -V 7 -b 32 -B 128 --vbr-new --priority --resample 44.1 a.mp3 b.mp3
When I do it through a dos command line, it works. The mp3 is converted and the artwork is embedded.
When I use TGF, the mp3 is converted, but the artwork is not embedded.

Can you check this?

Thanks

I checked the file, the problem is not lame its that the tag version is ID3v2.2 and uses an outdated way of embedding artwork that TGF does not support.
But since sites actually use those tags I build a new beta with added support for them, please download and test again.
