I wrote an mp3/ogg/flac/acc metadata parser over 10 years ago, and it was an absolute shower of shit with regards to character sets and compatibility between players and encoders. Has anything changed?
- toyg 5y agoAs others said, the only thing that changed is that most people stopped caring and moved on to streaming.

- Hello71 5y agoIt's worse now, because there's more formats. Unfortunately, MP3 and AAC are still popular enough that software needs to support it, so you now need to support mp3/ogg/flac/aac plus opus, which is usually ogg container, but has its own additional metadata, and also sometimes it's in matroska container instead.
