Description Stephan Ritscher 2008-06-17 13:27:15 UTC 
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #500034 +++

Under preferences, I opted for Banshee to write metadata to files.  However, I found that Banshee does not write "play count" to the ID3 tag of the mp3 that I'm playing.

Also, Banshee doesn't seem to read the existing play counts in files.  This is a problem as I am moving between players and won't have smart playlists any more.



mutagen (from quodlibet) can display such additional frames in mp3 headers. I
used foobar in Windows which can create arbitrarily named tags. The tag
"RATING" e.g. is displayed as "TXXX=RATING=4", so the type/name of the frame is
"TXXX" and the value is "RATING=4".
I'd also love this option because all my music is already tagged!



This is still true for current svn version (1.0.1) of banshee.
Sorry, I didn't know how to change version number in the old bug and therefore cloned it.
Comment 1 Stephan Ritscher 2008-06-17 13:37:10 UTC 
A short glimpse in the documentation of TagLib# reveals that it already supports TXXX frames via UserTextInformationFrame class.

Definitely a duplicate, I'll update the version on that bug.

In the future, if you can't change the version yourself, just leaving a comment to that effect on the existing bug is sufficient. Cloning has a very narrow use.
