Description Steve 2009-12-18 18:38:55 UTC
Description of problem:
See the two pictures (Screenshot-EasyTAG 2.1.6.png & Screenshot-11 -Properties.png). The firt one is what easytag writes. The second one is how other systems (testet on linux & mac) read the tag.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
easytag-2.1.6-2.fc12.i686
flac-1.2.1-6.fc12.i686
taglib-1.6.1-2.fc12.i686

Flac file

Comment 4 Matthias Saou 2009-12-19 17:48:18 UTC
Could this have something to do with the "Write ID3 tags in FLAC files (in addition to FLAC tag" setting from easytag? Does changing it produce the same result?

The next question would be : Have you managed to get the wanted tag written to then read from those FLAC files using the same programs to read but a different program to write?

Because the problem could be just about anything and needs to be nailed down :
 * Easytag truncating the fields when it finds a dash (you could try long fields without dashes too)
 * The FLAC tags not supporting dashes inside the fields (I don't know enough)
 * Multiple tags being written, and one with limitations being read first
etc.

No, rhythmbox is the only player who can read the tag.

Comment 8 Steve 2010-01-24 10:51:20 UTC
Ok. This is definitively a problem of easytag. If i write the tag with rhythmbox or another "tagger", then all other players can red the tag. If there is a " - " in the tag, then easytag does not write the tag correctly. And this happens only with the FLAC-tag, there is no problem with MP3 or similar.

Comment 10 Steve 2010-01-26 13:41:25 UTC
Easytag writes a "\\" instead of a " - ". And most players (or all?) can't read the tag after the "\\". I saw this by opening the FLAC-files with Mp3tag (Windows program) with Wine.

Please fix this!

Comment 11 Matthias Saou 2010-04-08 09:59:32 UTC
A tested patch for this would be more than welcome. I've just searched the easytag mailing-list, but didn't find anyone reporting this with a possible fix.

Comment 12 Matthias Saou 2010-04-30 15:11:42 UTC
I was looking some more into this, and just found the upstream report, which points back to here. No replies yet, though.

Comment 13 Steve 2010-04-30 15:14:57 UTC
Yes this upstream report if from me ;o|

Comment 14 Steve 2010-05-27 15:55:40 UTC
Still not fixed...

easytag-2.1.6-5.fc13.i686

Comment 15 Matthias Saou 2010-05-28 15:07:04 UTC
Yeah, I've included only fixes for which tested patches were already available. If you ever have someone provide a patch to fix the issue, I'll be more than glad to include it.

Comment 16 Steve 2010-05-28 15:29:34 UTC

Comment 20 Steve 2013-01-20 09:59:48 UTC

Comment 21 Steve 2013-07-03 14:37:08 UTC
This bug is not fixed in easytag-2.1.7-3.fc19.

Comment 22 David King 2013-07-03 22:06:37 UTC
EasyTAG 2.1.8 has settings to disable the tag splitting "feature", where any tag which has a " - " is split into multiple tags, so updating the package to 2.1.8 or above would fix this bug.

Comment 23 Steve 2013-07-18 14:53:49 UTC
easytag-2.1.8-1.3.x86_64.rpm for openSUSE Factory is working very well with this feature on F19.

Comment 24 Steve 2013-08-02 07:03:38 UTC
Can someone please update this package to the recent version?

Comment 25 Steve 2013-11-20 07:02:06 UTC
Why it takes so long to update this package?

Comment 26 Steve 2013-12-18 07:08:13 UTC
Bug seems not to be fixed in F20. Changing version to 20. Please update Easytag to version 2.1.8.
