Description Pete 2009-12-17 18:12:55 UTC

I'm running Ubuntu 9.10 with Squeezebox Server 7.4.1.  When I scan the library, my APE files end up showing "No Genre".  If I convert the files to FLAC and rescan, the converted files show the correct genre.

Thanks,
Pete

Can you attach a small file that shows the problem?

APE music file

I actually converted my library to FLAC to get around the bug.

I've attached a music file converted from FLAC back to APE using J. River Media Center.  The genre tag shows up in the APE file when played in JRMC, but shows as "No Genre" on my SB3 and in Squeezebox Server V7.4.1 - r28947.  I'm running SB Server on Ubuntu 9.10.

Please let me know if I can provide any other details.

Thanks,
Pete

Thanks, looks like an Audio::Scan bug.  No tags are being read from this file.  I'll get right on it.

This file has an APEv2 tag with a footer but no header, which is against the 
spec.  Unfortunately it seems several tag readers do try and support this, so I 
guess we will have to do the same.

Fixed bug 15324, read APEv2 tags without a header, fix reading of binary tag data and cover art

Comment 7 Andy Grundman 2010-02-08 12:24:20 UTC

This is fixed in 7.5.0, not 7.4.2.

Comment 8 Chris Owens 2010-04-08 17:24:52 UTC

This bug has been marked fixed in a released version of Squeezebox Server or the accompanying firmware or mysqueezebox.com release.
