Wavepack which tags are commonly used

I am busy writing the WavePack codecs for dBpowerAMP and I want to ask what tags are used for wavepack (all of them? - id3, ogg, ape1/2), and which should dB write as default.

WavPack Winamp plugin supports ID3v1 tags.
Foobar "extra-officially" supports APE2. It's not an issue, because the decoder is robust enough to ignore any "corrupted" data at the end of the stream.

I would stongly recommend APE2. Upcoming WavPack 4 will probably use APE2 only as default.

Spoon,

I agree with Roberto that APE2 tags should be the default. Foobar supports them now, and I will add support for them in the winamp plugin as soon as I can figure them out.  And, as Roberto says, the WavPack unpacker ignores anything appended to the end WavPack files.

BTW, I noticed that I stupidly left on the "static" keywords on some variables at the beginning of unpack_samples() in the unpack.c module. These don't need to be static and the keywords can be removed (actually Z caught this when doing his port).

If you have any questions about the code (or if there's anything I can do) please drop me an e-mail. And thanks for working on including WavPack in dBpowerAMP.

The Decoder + Tagger are working A-Ok, the encoder is just writing garbage  so a few days to 2 weeks.
