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,

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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!

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

there something fishy going on, have about 21 flac files, in a folder, and 9 of them still showing meta tag data in juk. When running metaflac --list, show nothing on all 21 files, however in amarok and juk I can still see some info on 9 flac files. Howdoes one fix these flac files? are they corrupted? flac -t came back ok on all Anyone ? Richard

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

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

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

All, I've been setting up an Asterisk PBX over the past few days and I stumbled across a problem with mpg123 that I have not seen documented anywhere. If you put mp3 files into your mohmp3 directory and these files have ID3v2 tags, mpg123 will throw an error message "Found new ID3 Header", regardless of the -q flag. This, in turn, will cause Asterisk to crash (yes), although

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

All, FLAC is nearing an official version. I am going to release a 0.9 version first with the winamp2 plugin fixes (and some other small inprovements). but I want to ask the question now: As a user, what do you think is left to do before 1.0? FLAC is bound to have incremental improvements but are there any fundamental format or feature changes/additions that you think that should be made? I am

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
