Pete,
I saw there was a mistake in the upgrade of the FreeBSD mp3info's port.
The old port was that from Thorvald Natvig <thorvald@natvig.com> and the new
one is from Cedric Tefft <cedric@earthling.net>.
Looking at the new port version home page I saw this:
----------
Note! Thorvald's version uses different command-line switches than this
version. I have had reports of people accidentally changing the ID3 tags of
their MP3 files as a result of "upgrading" from Thorvald's version to
mine without realizing they were completely different programs with different
command-line switches.
Please be aware of which mp3info you are using. Check the usage syntax. The two
versions are not interchangeable.
On a related note, we are still looking for an alternative name for our version
of mp3info to avoid all this confusion. Suggestions for a new name are most
welcome.
----------
Since I have an entire system running in the "old" mp3info syntax, I
would ask you if its possible to change the port name to avoid this kind of
mistake, ok? =)
Cya
Antonio
