Flac version 1.4.x and tags

[fpefpe]

as is turns out, with version 1.4.x of flac if will flag the flac file to be in error if it contains a ID3v2 tag --- is there anyway that mp3tag can find and edit them out?

[ohrenkino]

you could filter for files with
%_tag% HAS ID3 AND %_tag% HAS flac

Then you cut and paste the tags. This will leave only the vorbis comments in the FLAC files.

I am not sure where / how to use

%_tag% HAS ID3 AND %_tag% HAS flac

flac files were created with EAC, when I view then with mp3tag, the column “tag” has the value

FLAC (FLAC ID3v2 ID3v1)

When I checked the forums for EAC I was told to “uncheck” the ID3 flag, and when I did that the file now just have

FLAC (FLAC)

in the tag column. The also noted in the comment at eac forum that mp3tag can remove the ID3 tag, but did not say how — any pointers would be appreciated

Thanks

it seems that this is a known issue --- I found that ctrl-x / ctrl-v works --- thanks for the info

And on the problem in general:

Flac files and id3 tags

Hello — Just to clarify, there was a post on the another forum about TAG and FLAC files. I think the question was can FLAC files have ID3 tags — I was not sure of the context of the question, but is it possible to gerry-rig the ID3 format/schema into a FLAC file? If so can mp3tag parse it and somehow correct it and write back the tags in “vorbis comment” format? Thanks

thanks again --- just one curious question -- does the 64bit version now allow the cut/past to also "past" the cover art back to the files?

[ohrenkino]

have you tried it? That would be the fastest way to find out.

[fpefpe]

yes I did and found the cover art back in the tracks after the past ---- there was an old post about this issue --- thanks again
