fix flac file with id3 detection (1.20 KB, patch) 2003-09-12 21:32 UTC, Jeremy Simon	none	Details \| Review

Description John McCutchan 2003-09-01 00:03:10 UTC

I have a large collection of flac files that will not play in rhythmbox.
I have a suspicion it is because they have id3 tags on. Before flac was
included in the vorbis community you had to use id3 tags.
here is a sample:

Comment 1 Colin Walters 2003-09-01 01:33:28 UTC

Can you try running this command:

gst-launch gnomevfssrc location=/path/to/my/musicfile.flac ! spider !
volume ! $(gconftool-2 -g /system/gstreamer/default/audiosink)

Comment 3 Colin Walters 2003-09-01 04:42:17 UTC

Then this is a GStreamer issue.  I'll give the bug to them.  

Personally though - I don't think it makes sense to have flac files
with id3 tags.

Comment 4 John McCutchan 2003-09-04 00:37:20 UTC

until recently id3 tags were the only way to tag a FLAC file.

FLAC detection also fixed in gnome-mime-data:

        * gnome-vfs-mime-magic: detect FLAC files with ID3 headers as FLAC
        * gnome-vfs.keys.in: add image/jpg, the MacOS X Mailer

Comment 7 Christian Fredrik Kalager Schaller 2003-09-27 15:55:48 UTC

Comment 8 Thomas Vander Stichele 2003-10-05 14:20:09 UTC
