this is a little off-topic, but i want to get a sense of "best practices" for tagging flac files. i want to archive my entire cd collection as flac files (onto a few of those new western digital 120GB drives). as part of encoding the flac files, i'd like to add 1. id3v2 tags (preferably automatically gotten from freedb) 2. timed lyrics a la lyrics3 v2 (is there a freedb-like

> A good number have id3v2 tags... say 20-30%. Do you find that it's stuttering on id3v2 files? Since those contain data that is counted by the timing code, but not played the the player, that seems a likely suspect. Ie, you'll get _playable_ data too slow. Try a stream with _no_ id3v2 files and see if the problem persists. > > What version of linux? glibc? > > RH 7.2

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

I tagged some FLAC files with ID3V2 information (by the id3v2 program), but their metadata does not show up in XMMS. Anyone else have this problem? Anyone have a solution? (I tested the tags using the --list option of id3v2; they are there. XMMS and the FLAC plugin just don't seem to respect them.) -- Asheesh.

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.

Hi Josh, I found id3v2 didn't work on v1.1.0. I checked source codes, macros- (in such cases as FLAC_HAVE_ID3LIB) ware moved to config.h. That is good. But the place to do include is the after of #ifdef FLAC_HAVE_ID3LIB. The result of configure script isn't reflected. And it doesn't always have id3lib with this. Move place of 'include "config.h"' to the top. I

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,

Alright. So, the tag proposal that has been labored over for some months has now been reclassified a bit. There new URL is now here: http://reactor-core.org/ogg-tag-recommendations.html And is prefaced by the following statement: "The following recommendations were developed by a community of Ogg/Vorbis users for their own use." I believe the implication is that this document

Firstly, a big thank-you to Josh for FLAC. Someone mentioned it in a post on Slashdot, so I came over to sourceforge for a look-see. This is just the sort of thing I've been looking for. Can anyone relate any general tips for using flac on Windows for the purpose of archiving cd's? If I can nail down a solid, easy-to-use process, I'm happy to write it up and contribute it to the

Hi. Seeing as the topic appeared a while ago I was wondering: How do people feel about adopting ID3v2 for Vorbis aswell. This would, of course, mean it's given a stream of its own and even allow interleaving. It could be usefull, seeing as it would cut down on both initial development and software support, since a lot (most?) audio players already support it. It could also allow for code

The protocol of sending of metadata over a stream (which is HTTP) does not allow for this type of thing. The problem is not necessarily the fact that the id3 tags are at the end of the files, as id3v2 does not have this restriction, but rather just the "agreed" upon protocol for handling metadata for streamed mp3s (and I'm only going to talk about mp3s here, since it's

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!

OK, that's what I thought, but wanted to be sure. I've been updating some metadata handling routines in our application and heard something about this and was curious. > the spec

Does anyone know if there are any players that use the id3v2 album art people mention every so often? -- imalone

i've tried to make rpm package of flac 0.10, but compilation fails near start, 'cause compilator couldn't find .h files in libFLAC directory, when it tries to build this library. generated makefile in this directory contains "-I.$(srcdir)" in compilator options, though it should be "-I.$(includedir)" strange, but ./configure; make; make install running from

Ok so I can use any ID3v2 or v1 tagger (say the perl one) for FLAC files and things will be kosher? I'd LOVE to be able roll my own tagging scheme like you can in Vorbis and I don't mind doing some code either..I wasn't aware that FLAC was able to do that..or at least I didn't userstand how to do that. I guess that is where you register for your own developer ID eh? Josh

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hiya folks, I've been hacking on an audio metadata library (creatively called TagLib) which we'll be using in KDE in the next release ( == I need to get around to finishing it). I've got the Vorbis comment implementation working, but just wanted to clarify a couple of things: *) The vendor ID -- "vendor" is ambiguous here. Is

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
