Patch for APE tags on MP3s?

(1/4) > >>

lee321987:
   I read in one of the Archived threads that there was an patch to view Ape tags on mp3s. Is or was there such a patch?  (I tried Flyspray)

Question:
What does APE even stand for? Are there any advantages to it? Will it ever be accepted into rockbox?

Rockbox does support this codec already.  This patch would add support for APE tags in mp3 files.  It would be a change to the metadata parser.

They're monkey's audio tags.  They're like ID3v2 but much simpler and have to go at the back of a file (ID3v2 can go front or back).  Since the patch was rejected, I don't think they'll be supported.
