Uncaught exception: Unable to covert the following frames to version v2.3: TMOO

eyeD3 dies trying to convert an ID3 v2.3 to v2.3 that contains TMOO field.

Tested in Ubuntu default version 0.8.4:

Workaround --text-frame="TMOO:" removes TMOO field before converting.

File was created by importing a CD into iTunes.

eyed3.id3.tag.TagException: Unable to covert the following frames to version v2.3: TMOO

This is due to ID3 v2.3 not supporting TMOO. eyeD3 COULD put these in a TXXX with description: 'mood', but that's not too portable. i.e. Would TXXX:mood convert to TMOO? prolly, but that is very eyeD3 specific, but would allow conversions without exceptions.

[schenklklopfer]

I do not know why my original ID3 v2.3 file could contain TMOO, due it is not possible, but it did.
So eyeD3 crashed.

As ID3 v2.3 does not support TMOO, so maybe just remove it instead of getting crashed trying to do something that cannot work?

[nicfit]

Sounds like you have a IDv2.4 tag where it is valid and you are trying to convert to 2.3 where it is not. If you feel like sharing the file it's be a good addition to my test set.

[schenklklopfer]

The file is v2.3 not 2.4. That's why i am wondering how it could have TMOO, but eyeD3 seems to detect this field in this file.

I managed to remove the audio from the file that only the ID3 tag is left.
With this file you can test it.
How can I send you this file? Mail?

[nicfit]

If you zip it you can attach to this github issue. Thanks. TMOO is not legit in 2.3 but I'm not surprised you have one with it, tags are generally mayhem with respect to the specs. Apple just invented new frames, etc.

[schenklklopfer]

I've attached it here.
broken.zip

Just unzip it, and try it.
eyeD3 --to-v2.3 broken.mp3 will fail with the exception above.

I'm attempting to remove cover arts from mp3 files using eyeD3 --remove-all-images --max-padding 1, and a few of those songs with the RGAD (ReplayGain Adjustment) tag are throwing similar errors:

The error remains even after deleting the ReplayGain tags. This only happen to a few, not all songs with ReplayGain.

This is the output for id3v2 -l for one of the songs in particular:

Edit: ReplayGain values are not the issue. Check comments above.
Edit (Solved): All it needs to be done is to run eyeD3 --remove-frame RGAD, remove the images later.

I'm encountering the same issue for a TKY2 tag. Similar to flipMWD's comment, id3v2 lists it as an empty frame.

[nicfit]

@Nightfirecat That's not a standard ID3 frame.
