I’ve been using J.River Media Center for my media player/organizer and it has a great feature that calculates replaygain and bpm but I think it is writing the tags incorrectly because when I reload in Jaikoz I see a lot of square symbols at the ends of words.
Anybody know what causes this?
I’m guessing it is an encoding issue.

Ive just tried the Analyse Audio function in JRiver Media Center 12 and the BPM field and the ‘replay track gain’ and ‘replay track peak’ in ID3/User Defined text Info field are displayed fine in Jaikoz with both an ID3v23 and an ID3v24 file. Are you using JRiver Media Center 12 if you are could you send me one of the problem files for testing please.
Try it with a flac file, maybe that is the problem. I’ve corrected all the files that I was having an issue with but if I come across another I will send it to you.
I have had someone in the forum at J.River say that it writes ISO and not UTF-8 and that can’t be changed. Also, they said that it writes ID3v-x even to flac files, even when none previously existed.
I haven’t confirmed this yet though.

Yes the problem occured with Flac, JRiver Media Center is writing a null terminator to the end of every value, this incorrect for Flac and OggVorbis. You might like to raise a bug with them on this.
In jaikoz you can remove these for the columsn such as Album and Artist using the Local Correcter and ensuring the AutoFormat/Remove Undisplayable Charcters option is enabled. But there isnt an option to run this comand against an arbitary column (but its on the todo list)
