Bugzilla – Bug 2304
Flac files, inherited tags
Last modified: 2008-09-15 14:37:04 UTC
Hi, I'm using FLAC with embeded cuesheets. My embeded cuesheets are EAC CD-TEXT generated, and they do NOT contain GENRE, YEAR (DATE) nor REPLAY GAIN info. All that info is present as Vorbis comments in the flac file. As an example: . . . vendor string: reference libFLAC 1.1.2 20050205 comments: 9 comment[0]: ARTIST=Astor Piazzolla comment[1]: ALBUM=Live at Cine Teatro Gran Rex, Buenos Aires comment[2]: DATE=1981 comment[3]: GENRE=Nuevo Tango comment[4]: REPLAYGAIN_TRACK_PEAK=0.85516357 comment[5]: REPLAYGAIN_TRACK_GAIN=-2.20 dB comment[6]: REPLAYGAIN_ALBUM_PEAK=0.85516357 comment[7]: REPLAYGAIN_ALBUM_GAIN=-2.20 dB comment[8]: CUESHEET=CATALOG 0000000000000 PERFORMER "Astor Piazzolla" TITLE "Live at Cine Teatro Gran Rex, Buenos Aires" FILE "Astor Piazzolla - Live at Cine Teatro Gran Rex, Buenos Aires.flac" WAVE TRACK 01 AUDIO TITLE "Invierno Porteño" PERFORMER "Astor Piazzolla" INDEX 01 00:00:00 TRACK 02 AUDIO TITLE "Otoño Porteño" PERFORMER "Astor Piazzolla" INDEX 01 06:47:47 TRACK 03 AUDIO TITLE "Concierto para Quinteto" PERFORMER "Astor Piazzolla" INDEX 01 13:01:62 TRACK 04 AUDIO TITLE "Viyuya" PERFORMER "Astor Piazzolla" INDEX 01 22:11:70 TRACK 05 AUDIO TITLE "Muerte del Angel" PERFORMER "Astor Piazzolla" INDEX 01 28:25:42 TRACK 06 AUDIO TITLE "Adiós Nonino" PERFORMER "Astor Piazzolla" INDEX 01 31:38:37 TRACK 07 AUDIO TITLE "Tangata" PERFORMER "Astor Piazzolla" INDEX 01 40:08:30 TRACK 08 AUDIO TITLE "Verano Porteño" PERFORMER "Astor Piazzolla" INDEX 01 49:52:70 TRACK 09 AUDIO TITLE "Libertango" PERFORMER "Astor Piazzolla" INDEX 01 56:59:67 The current behaviour of Slimserver is to ignore the GENRE, DATE, and REPLAYGAIN comments , I guess because it assumes everything is on the cuesheet, so I end up with no genres in my slimserver. Is there any chance for this comments (GENRE , DATE, etc) present on the flac file, at the comment level (and coincidentally the 4 TAGS Slimserver uses to Browse music: Album, Artist, Genre and Year), to be considered the default values , unless they are superseeded by information inside the cuesheet comment? (The idea is that every song in the cuesheet "inherits" the GENRE,etc for the album). Currently is pretty straigthforward to change the Genre comment for example by using a Taging tool, without touching the cuesheet itself. (Gordon has provided me scripts to modify cuesheets, but I would prefer to modify just a comment in the file than modify the cuesheets). Also I prefer the replay_gain tag to be at the comment level than at the cuesheet level. Any idea if this is possible? Thanks a lot!
Nestor - what version of the server are you running?
Hi Dan, Slimserver 6.2b1 , at this moment running last night's. Sometimes Im a week behind , but I try to keep it updated. Last night's is revision 4657 .
Ok - could you attach the first 30k (or so) of the FLAC file in question? I'm having troubles getting SlimServer to see the cuesheet at all.. does that part work for you?
Let me see how can I cut the beggining of the file and I will send it to you. Yes, embedded cuesheets work for me (I also have to insert the "CUESHEET" FLAC metadata block, to have all songs offset). Im uploading now the whole metadata contents for the file.

Can you actually use metaflac --export-cuesheet-to=filename ? Thanks

There are 536 bugs in the database with targets of '---' that were fixed prior to new year 2006. I am setting them to targets of 6.2.1 to keep them from showing up in my queries.
