| Summary | 0019396: FLAC Comment/Description inconsistency with File Explorer | ||||
| Description | MediaMonkey and others write COMMENT for FLAC files, but File Explorer reads/writes DESCRIPTION instead. MediaMonkey does read both DESCRIPTION and COMMENT. This means: A File Explorer can't display Comment from MediaMonkey, as MediaMonkey only writes Comment B MediaMonkey can show Description value on scan instead of Comment value written by MediaMonkey (not consistent) MediaMonkey should: 1) Always prefer COMMENT over DESCRIPTION when reading tags a) Or allow user to set read preference in ini 2) Write both COMMENT and DESCRIPTION on tagging FLAC files a) This could be set to be done when DESCRIPTION was unknown or when COMMENT and DESCRIPTION original value matched and be skipped when original COMMENT and DESCRIPTION are a mismatch. b) Some user control via ini (like for date) could be added. EDIT (peke): Vorbis comment official page state DESCRIPTION is short description of file https://xiph.org/vorbis/doc/v-comment.html MM, MP3TAG and all other apps I have ever tested uses COMMENT https://age.hobba.nl/audio/mirroredpages/ogg-tagging.html , https://www.legroom.net/2009/05/09/ogg-vorbis-and-flac-comment-field-recommendations , https://www.google.com/search?q=flac+vorbis+comments&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8 It was LIKE THAT from early days of MM Only BUG I see is that MM prefer DESCRIPTION over COMMENT even it writes COMMENT. NOTE: MM currently strips DESCRIPTION from FLAC if it exists on tag save. That makes File explorer not reading the tag | ||||

Fixed in build 2666. MM now reads DESCRIPTION and COMMENT fields and in case they are different, concatenate them separated by new line. We save still only to COMMENT field, as it is de facto standard and tagging SWs use this field for comment (DESCRIPTION is cleared to avoid duplicity). Windows 10 Explorer has buggy FLAC tagging, users should avoid tagging FLAC there, I have found out, that they e.g. create new copy of genre and artist tag every time user edits FLAC tags. |
