Like duration, bitrate, and genre. How do I get them in there?

[BryanC]

Genre is a user-defined field so that will be up to you to fill. However, duration and bitrate should be automatically populated. It is possible you might have a borked FLAC header. One possibility is to transcode your FLAC collection to the latest version of FLAC.

You can do this by downloading the FLAC binary from their main site and using the --force option.

flac abc.flac --force

Automated batch script that will reencode all flac files it finds recursively:
Save as something.bat and run in the top-level music directory

for /r %%i in (.\*.flac) do flac %%i --force

To run at the CMD prompt instead:

for /r %i in (.\*.flac) do flac %i --force

I think Library Tools > Update Library (from tags) will also set these values (assuming the flac file is not corrupt).

[theloniouscoltrane]

Thanks for the advice. Turns out the files were corrupted so Library Tools > Update Library (from tags) didn't work. Luckily, I still had all the .wav files, so I redid the conversion and now everything is fixed. Thanks again. I'm new here and I am so happy to see an active and engaged forum filled with helpful folks.
