tagging issue again

<< < (2/2)

Awesome Donkey:
Another edge case would be files and folders that begin with a period being treated as a hidden file/folder in Linux. This can cause issues if you don't enable hidden files and folders in the file manager you're using, and they won't be imported as they're hidden. I used to encounter this with albums by artists that used ... at the beginning of the album title. Fortunately I use an expression on all my freshly imported files that takes that into account and renames files/folders so there's no periods at the beginning and everything imports fine.

Nonetheless I highly recommend mounting your NAS via fstab to a folder with a sane location and name, e.g. /mnt/Media would probably be a good choice. I use something similar with my NAS and my SMB shares in fstab and MC itself, and have no issues..."

Thank you Awesome, that's how I had it done before. Same thing.

Alex_W:
thank you all for the ideas.

to blanket-answer the questions: yes, all files are visible/playable.

I haven't tried to copy/move them using MC... just the file manager in the VM (no issues there).

again, the weird thing is: these are just a few stubborn ones that refuse to tag... the rest of them got tagged no problem (confirmed by looking at the tag dump)...

Alex_W:
the rabbit hole goes deeper than I thought... it seems to be permissions/ACL issue after all. now to figure out how to fix it...

thanks all for ideas.

Alex_W:
An update:

short version -- weirdness continues.

long version -- I digitized another 12 CDs (EAC), transferred all of them to NAS, tagged... 11 CDs tagged no problem, and ONE of them simply refuses no matter what I do. "Update tags from library" was initially failing, but now just hangs ("Saving tag changes, 29 remaining").

Tried to delete the folder with the CD in question, do another copy -- no dice. Next step -- I will try to re-rip and copy/re-import...

Just for sits and giggles, tried to convert some stupid .ape/.cue pairs to separate .flac... -- it worked no issues, and it tagged appropriately (looking at tag dump, shows "Tool=Media Center").
