MJ not recognizing Ogg genre tags
« on: October 18, 2002, 06:05:01 am »

... or it may be my EAC configuration ... but  MJ is not recognizing the tags, specifically genre and my comment.   My EAC is setup for extracting & ripping Ogg with the compressions option "add ID3 tag". and "use ID3 v1.1  (not v1.0)", and ID3 v2 is disabled.

 ... suggestions, ideas???

 MJ v8.0.382

See my first post in http://www.musicex.com/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.cgi?board=general;action=display;num=1034837296

After setting up EAC as shown, uncheck all options related to tagging

thanx xenno ...

Regarding ... "Additional Command Line Options put in the following: (replace the 8 with whatever quality value u want)
%s -q 8 -t "%t" -a "%a" -l "%g" -c "comment=EAC: v1 ogg @ q8" -G "%m" -d %y -N %n" ... can you elaborate, otherwise point me to a reference.  Presumably some of these commandline options point point to ID tag fiels as defined by EAC.  The options which are caps (or not) are a bit confusing (e.g., '-N' & '-d' ... but I think I can figure it out).

Oops! ... didn't seem to work.  I'll look again to see if I did something wrong ... but I copied the commandline options in (copy&paste), and then changed only the -q option, and then made appropriated changes inside the comment field.  The result of EAC is to extract the WAV only(??).
... hmmm ... I see "user defined encoder"!.  So, I make that change and the DOS window says:

"Unicode translation error 87
Couldn't convert comment to UTF-8, cannot add
Opening with wav module: WAV file reader" ...

but then continues to create the Ogg file.  I'll report the result ...

Case is, of course, very important

For complete tag description click on this link:
http://home.revealed.net/xen/oggenc.html

Any place that you see a % sign (ie %s which is the source file name) is where oggenc fills in data from EAC.

Vorbis Tags are far superior to MP3's IDvX tags. I think even APE uses Vorbis Tags.
For instance, if you want to create a quality tag you insert the following in the ACLO:
-c "quality=q8"

 The result was still no genre recognized, but the comment field was recognized(?)

 I see no mistakes with my reading your instructions, but I do notice my "compression options" dialog is different ... the tabs are different.  I'm using v0.9 beta 4.

I am too (V0.9 beta 4 - 22 May 2002)

Make sure the syntax of your ACLO string is exactly the same as mine. Better yet, copy & paste my string.
%s -q 8 -t "%t" -a "%a" -l "%g" -c "comment=EAC: v1 ogg @ q8" -G "%m" -d %y -N %n

I assume you have the following:
latest MJ
latest Oggenc
latest EAC (since we have differences - maybe redownload/reinstall)

You say your compression dialog looks different, yet were running the same version (is yours 22 May 2002 also?). That could be a clue.

Here's the string section that does the Genre tagging:
-G "%m"

I don't remember how I found out it was %m. Since our versions look different, maybe %m is not correct for yours (but I really doubt it).

Can u make a screen copy of your Compressions Options>External Compression like I did?

Xenno

PS: To summarize, all tagging is correct except for Genre? And you are filling in the Genre field before Rip/Encode? (sorry :-[ had to ask)

edit>
"Unicode translation error 87
Couldn't convert comment to UTF-8, cannot add
Opening with wav module: WAV file reader" ...

I get this sometimes too. No problem, though. It will still tag correctly. I see you did "copy & paste" by one of your earlier posts. So syntax should be correct

 My EAC shows 22 May 2002 too ... but (e.g.) mine does not have a "LAME DLL" tab ... wierd!

 Yess ... all tags show 'cept genre, which is empty ... and "togger" implies genre didn't get written either (... and yes, I did fill out the EAC genre field ...<g>...

 ... I investigate futher ...

 Argh!!! ... it's apparently because I have a tendency to use non-standard genre tags ... e.g., "country rock".  Who would of thunk???

Using non-standard genres is a problem I've always had with EAC, too.  Lately, I've been using EAC to rip, and Winvorbis to encode.

I gave up my favorite non-standard genre's (such as acid country, jap rap, eskimo jive, and christian punk to name a few) in
favor of rock, alternative, avante garde, soundtrack, etc. just to simplify things.

Non-standard genre's should be written, just that MJ won't read them.
Verify non-std tag did get written with WinVorbis (small & fast loading tag editor/encoder w/ VorbisGain).
Funny thing, you can define non-standard genre's in MJ.
I'll try ripping a tune w/ a "xenno" genre to see what happens.

PS: What's does "togger" music sound like?

tOGGer is a program for batch tagging OGG files.

I get it....tOGGer 8)

Verified: Non standard tagging is a problem w/ EAC. When Genre tagged (with WinVorbis) w/ "Xenno" for instance, MJ reads tag just fine.

 EAC not writing non-standard genre tags finally begs the question ... "is that complex command line really necessary???"  If simply I use '-q 6.0', all tags are recognized.

 I'll take that back.  The preferred comment isn't recognized ... and there's probably a big difference between these OGG tags and ID3 tags.
