Bitzi Developer Discussion: problems with certain album cover art

problems with certain album cover art   [forward as email]
I tag most of my files using MusicMatch, what I have noticed is that with certain album art, Bitzi seems to ignore the metadata information including album, track, year, bitrate etc. If I remove the album art, bitzi can correctly incorporate the metadata or if I replace the album art it will correctly take the information. An example of this is would be any beatles song off the 1967-1970 album in which album art is used from music match. The end result is about 3%-5% of the songs I submit I have to re-edit the art and resubmit. The error rate may not sound high but when you submit 4000+ files having to find the 200+ that failed becomes a big deal

You may have discovered a bitcollider bug. Could you post the bitprints of some files that the bicollider fails to report audiotrack for in the presence of album art? I assume album art is specified in an id3v2 tag?

Thanks for the report and your efforts to contribute quality metadata. We do hope to make that easier...
