My problem is that these 2 programs need different versions of the cygwin1.dll.


id3v2.exe needs version 1005.24.0.0, otherwise german ä,ö,ü are not

We on this list are not set up to help you with 3rd-party executables that come with their own copy of Cygwin. If you want help on this list, you will need to build those programs from source against an official version of Cygwin, downloaded with http://cygwin.com/setup.exe


There are several shells available for Cygwin, one of which -- bash -- comes with the base installation. If it doesn't work for you, try ash, ksh93 or pdksh.

The id3v2 program you're using is probably this one:

http://freshmeat.net/projects/id3v2/

It's probably simple enough that it builds out of the box without any special help.

That rebuild alone may fix all of your problems. If not, it will at least get you a long way toward a fix.
