DSF files losing metatags and album art in MC
« on: September 27, 2012, 12:17:04 am »

It's the strangest thing. In only one directory, while I have DSF files tagged in two directory, an apparently random group of albums lose their tags and album art.

This has now happened twice.

Has anyone experienced the same thing?

Any thoughts or suggestions?

Thanks,

Joel

An update: It appears that even though I update my tags and album art in my files, something is going wrong such that those changes are not being saved somehow. I make the changes and then, even within, minutes after closing and re-opening MC, the changes are lost.

Is there a setting I'm missing that's causing this to happen?

Make sure the files are imported into the library, and also that you have tagging enabled (and file permissions to tag at the file system level).

Thanks a lot for the reply, Matt.

While I have the "Save in File Tags (when possible)" boxed marked in the Manage Library Fields window.

Where do I go to see that tagging is enabled?

How do I check to see that the files I've tagged are imported into the library?

And finally, what do I do if they're not imported?

I've tagged many albums using your software, but it's the DSF files that are throwing me a curve.

Thanks again for helping me out here.

The master tagging switch is:
Options > General > Update tags when file info changes

If a file is imported, it's available under 'Audio' in the tree.  If you're browsing in 'My Computer' instead, right-click files and pick 'Import'.

Fantastic, Matt.

I'll give it a shot.

Thanks for the lightning-fast reply.
