Subject: Re: Announce: id3v2 patch 706111 updated

 Display the strings, that was my intention.
 But I belive you have misread the patch, (it contains both new and old
lines).
After applying the patch the code would look like this (browse_id3() in
apps/wps.c

            case 3:
                lcd_puts(0, 0, str(LANG_ID3_TRACKNUM));
                lcd_puts_scroll(0, 1,
                                id3->track_string ?
                                id3->track_string :
                                (char*)str(LANG_ID3_NO_TRACKNUM));
                break;

            case 4:
                lcd_puts(0, 0, str(LANG_ID3_GENRE));
                lcd_puts_scroll(0, 1,
                                id3->genre_string ?
                                id3->genre_string :
                                wps_get_genre(id3->genre) ?
                                wps_get_genre(id3->genre) :
                                (char*)str(LANG_ID3_NO_INFO));
                break;

            case 5:
                lcd_puts(0, 0, str(LANG_ID3_YEAR));
                lcd_puts_scroll(0, 1,
                                id3->year_string ?
                                id3->year_string :
                                (char*)str(LANG_ID3_NO_INFO));
                break;

Potentially, the strings have more information, as in cases like (track)
"11/12" or (year) "1814 (composed), 1982 (recorded)".
