Meaning
Validator keeps track of errors that occur in six of the seven INFO-tag fields.
•
Vendor ID
•
Device Type
•
Device ID
•
System Version
•
SDK Version
•
Distributor ID: This is the only field for which a specific string is required. In most
cases, it should contain "www" to indicate that the field is a URL. Make Distributor ID
a configurable value with a default setting that represents the vendor
(www.vendor_company_name.com, for example). When the device is installed in the
field, the Distributor ID should be reset to represent the client's organization.
•
Audio CODEC (no longer checked)
If a setting is missing or invalid, Validator declares an error. The PCM-to-ID3 SDK
Developer's Guide identifies the length and format of each field. Because all INFO tags
are identical, the SDK does not deliver a message for each observed error.
In most cases, Validator simply verifies that the field is filled and that it does not have any
characters considered "illegal" for that field.
