Bug 643

Summary: Won't play files with ID3v2 tags
Product: SDL_mixer Reporter: Julien Jorge <julien_jorge>
Component: miscAssignee: Ryan C. Gordon <icculus>
Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE QA Contact: Sam Lantinga <slouken>
Severity: normal    
Priority: P2 CC: voights
Version: 1.2.8   
Hardware: All   
OS: All   

Description Julien Jorge 2008-11-15 03:29:05 UTC
Mix_LoadMUS_RW() checks the type of the file to play by looking at a magic number at the beginning of the buffer. Since ID3v2 tags are placed at the beginning of the file, the magic number will never be matched.

SDL_mixer should whether use something to deal with those tags, or just observe that the magic number matches "ID3" and skip the tag.

Regards,

Julien
