similar to: Tag Proposal -> Tag Standard

So there are no command line options like in oggenc to do artist and misc tags? Sure if you've got a solution that I don't have to do from scratch then post away! :-) Thanks!

Well, this is a bit stronger than a proposal; this is "what I plan to do unless people see obvious flaws I missed"... The text comment header is the second (of three) header packets that begin a Vorbis bitstream. It is meant for short, text comments, not arbitrary metadata; arbitrary metadata will be put in a metadata stream, likely an XML stream type. We've discussed this in

Hi, I'm writing a tag-editor for ogg files. What tags, besides ogg-tags, are allowed in ogg files (if any). I'm thinking of id3v1, id3v2, ape tags and so on. I have a (probably small) problem with writing a new "comment header". I have tried opening a file with a valid header, and then simply moved some of the comment tags position, so that the total size and the count still

I have a CD collection of about 20 discs that I currently archive on my hard disk in MP3 format. No, I do not like lossy compression. No, I do not like closed standards. No, I do not like software patents (Fraunhofer). In fact, I do not even need compression at this point, as my hard disk capacity is greater than the sum total of the CDs' WAV-format sizes. However, I need its ID3

Hey all..I'm brand new to FLAC and learning to use it. Can somebody tell me how to insert things such as Artist, album etc. into the FLAC file? I'd like to do this at encode time via the command line. Thanks, Chris -- Only in America do banks leave both doors open and then chain the pens to the counters

I have been following flac development for some time now, but with the release of 1.0.4 I thought I would finally start the task of encoding my entire cd collection into flac format. After looking through the list archives and the webpage I still have a few unanswered questions. 1. What is the best method tagging method to use? Josh mentioned that id3v1 was preferred over id3v2 since it

So I've just ripped my entire 600 CD collection to flac format (200gigs worth) with vorbis comments in the flac metadata. But my gripe is that neither Winamp nor XMMS's flac plug-ins seem to have the ability to read the vorbis comment from the metadata. Are there any flac players for windoze or linux that can access the metadata? Or do i have to add redundant ID3 tags to all my flac

I've been with FLAC since 0.7, and I've loved the FLAC files I've ripped with grip, converted from FLAC 0.8 to 0.9, and played constantly on my desktop. And then I noticed the truncated ID3 tags in my FLAC files. I at first thought the problem lied in FLAC; I posted to this list, hoping for a solution. But then I realized my trusty GRIP was the flawed program. Now re-ripping my

Hi, I just copied 15 GB of Music from my Slackware install over to my laptop running CentOS. Everything's running fine, except a few minor quirks. About 10 to 15% of the 4.000 songs in my collection seem to have broken ID3 tags in XMMS. In the playlist window, there are only truncated fields of a few random letters appearing. But when I right-click on one of these songs, the ID3 info is

Hi, I'm wondering: If you have audio files like foo1.ogg and foo1.mp3, and the Vorbis file has nice comments (title, tracknumber, artist, album, date, etc), is there a tool to copy the information to an MP3 file on a "best effort" strategy? I know that MP3 TAGs are quite limited regarding lengths. Regards, Ulrich

Hi, I just had a problem that is not described in the faq and it was quite hard to find the right fix so I wanted to send it here, hoping it will be added to the faq. The error message is the same as in: http://www.xiph.org/archives/vorbis/200210/0073.html Warning: Hole in data found at approximate offset 5238000 bytes. Corrupted ogg. In this case it was caused by id3tags added by grip.

josh, thanks for the feedback. now i can start encoding like mad knowing that the generated flac files are ok =) (flac -t said the files were ok, despite metaflac's complaints). i noticed that without the flac-for-winamp plug-in installed, winamp correctly displays the id3 filename (e.g. "Bjork - Human Behavior") in the playlist and also displays the id3 tags in the file

Hello, I heard from a coworker that there was something that changed recently with FLAC and ID3. I don't have ANY details on what that means, and was wondering what has changed. The only thing I see (in the changelog) is that plugins have removed support for ID3 tags. I'm curious because I have been using ID3 tags with FLAC (I store extra data such as album art with my media files,

What is the best way to add song metadata (artist, album, title, etc.) to flac files? I want to be able to define an arbitrary number of FIELD=value pairs. Earlier I heard someone mention using id3 tags. I tried this with the command-line "id3v2", and while it seemed to work I noticed that the resulting file no longer began with "fLaC", which violates the format

Hi, I am wondering if vorbis has a standard tag for general music type. I don't mean pop, jazz, etc., but something more in line with describing the mood of the mucic. I am thinking of games which have a soundtrack in vorbis format which could use the user's own repository of .ogg files during gameplay, and use the tag to choose appropriate music for that part of the game. For

after spending a lot of time integrating X-Fixer's winamp2 plugin code, I am on the verge of removing id3 v1/v2 support from the plugins completely. it is really hard to get right in a way that works intuitively for the user, and i18n is also a nightmare. in id3v2 every field can have a different encoding. FLAC tag a.k.a. Vorbis comment support is very good now so unless someone comes up

hey, as far as ogg option goes, am i correct to assume that it is only usefull so that you can use anything that supports ogg to play the files on another note, how can i add id3v2 tags to native flac files? is there are command line player for flac? thanx for the help. ben

Well, my last question about this was in the middle of other stuff, but it's a basic one: why put tag info in the comment field at all? Why not use the XML field that's already there? It gives the flexibility needed to do things like translated tags easily, and keeps tag info in the same format as other data--potentially simplifying editors which read other types of metadata. The only
