BSI-MP3tag Project
Hello everyone,
my name is Serge Thibeault (Sergius). I've been volunteering in the radio and media industry in Quebec since 2009…
I've had the privilege of working at three different radio stations, with Live Radio Broadcast Automation Software.
Learn more / Learn less
All the radio stations where I've volunteered used BSI Simian software, which is one of the best live radio broadcast automation software programs.
The only knowledge I was taught was how to insert audio files into the Simian program at my assigned time, so that I could do my live broadcasts.
In 2014, when I became a volunteer for a 2nd Radio station, during my stay at this radio station, I had excellent basic training for the BSI Simian and Natural Music programs, by the big boss, Jocelyn of this Radio station, I had several programming tips from the excellent Denis K7 and over the years, I had the great privilege of learning new programming techniques from the teacher of teachers in Canada, Daniel Robert.
We have a 35-tag programming software for BSI Simian, called:
BSI Info Editor: This software was once an excellent tag configuration program for Simian, originally designed for older versions of Windows 95 and 98. Since 2003-2004, it has not been updated.
Despite repeated requests to the Broadcast Software International technical team to update the BSI Info Editor program, no updates have been made.
However, if you encounter a technical issue with BSI Simian, the Broadcast Software International technical support team will help you resolve it.
Many tags in the BSI Info Editor have not been updated since 2003-2004 and do not comply with current ID3v2 standards.
BSI Info Editor limits the number of characters that can be written in each of its tags. This limitation may be due to the much smaller hard drive size and less powerful RAM memory that supported older Windows operating systems at the time.
Here's a common example:
The Title Tag
BPM tag:
"BSI Info Editor" uses a user-defined field TXXX:BPM instead of the official ID3-standard field TBPM.
COMMENT tag:
"BSI Info Editor" uses a non-standard field TXXX:Comments instead of the official standard COMM, which should also include the language code like "eng".
BSI Info Editor does not handle images of MP3 audio files
Why I am introducing this new project to you: BSI-Mp3tag:Mp3tag is a tagging program that has existed since 1999. This software is updated several times a year...
→ Is Mp3tag compatible with BSI Info Editor? yes, with a tag panel specially programmed for BSI tags ←The BSI Comments tag:
With an Mp3tag Tool, after each backup, the conflicts of the 3 tags that prevent a correct writing, will be canceled and the tag "Comments:", will be perfectly rewritten in BSI format, in the audio file(s) after each backup, if the "Tool" (CTRL+1) is activated.
The BPM (Beats per minute) tag will be perfectly rewritten in BSI format, in the audio file(s) after each save, if the "Tool" (CTRL+1) is activated
Mp3tag seamlessly manages audio file images, ensuring compatibility with BSI Simian. With the "artist-album.jpg" programming data (Programming: Mp3tag Options: Tag Source: %artist%-%album%), audio file images can be sent directly to the BSI Simian folder via Mp3tag's "Actions" command, with a single click:C:\BSI32\Album Art Tools can be added for free, for the Mp3tag program: AutoBoot and Toolbar (for Windows 7, 8, 10, 11)
I had the honor and privilege of participating in this project by contributing my ideas for the development of this program that did not exist, with Marc Pohoryles, who is among the best programmers in France.
The program I had in mind is called “AutoBoot” and automates recording and Ctrl key usage. A toolbar has been created and is visible on the screen for the first 10 Mp3tag tools:Ctrl+0 to Ctrl+9,
I have not forgotten, those who will work their BSI-Mp3tag tags with Windows XP , I made a taskbar (Toolsbar), with the program Hot Virtual Keyboard, free trial of 30 days, this programming that I made, works with Windows XP, 7, 8, 10, 11On the other hand, there is a toolbar style that is not visible on the screen in Mp3tag, we must choose one or more audio files in the right column, we right-click, we must choose Tools and we can choose the appropriate tool
I'm sharing my project with you to help you work with the Mp3tag program, for your tags and images of your BSI audio files, in a simpler and faster way.
To conclude,..
For those who would be interested in knowing more data commands, which would help you better manage your tags and images for your BSI Simian program with Mp3tag ↓
Mp3tag Community (English and German): This community has a group of volunteers, who like to find solutions to help us work well with our tags, there are formulas that can allow us to manage the specific data of certain tags and Florian, the designer of the Mp3tag program, also intervenes in this group, to give us his help, fix the bugs, that we can find, take our suggestions, etc...
