Title: MC17 Doesn't read all Vorbis comments in FLAC files. Why?
Post by: d2b on July 16, 2012, 02:22:29 pm

We have FLAC files in our radio station library. Each file contains Vorbis comments, some of them from the basic Vorbis list of field names and some custom ones, like ALBUMARTIST. We added the custom tags to the list of default tags. After doing so, we ran the Update Library (from Tags) routine. In an example file, there are seven Performer tags. Only four were listed in the tag display, with the fourth one's value showing several 'periods' after the value, like this:

PERFORMER     Jane Doe (Lead vocals, guitar)
PERFORMER     John Doe (Bass)
PERFORMER     Jimmy Doe (Mandolin)
PERFORMER    Joe Musician (Fiddle)...

The other three PERFORMER tags were not listed at all.

Why?

You can click on a field in the Tag Action Window to zoom in and see the full list.

You could also add the field as a column to your views, and look at it that way.
