Description S. Burmeister 2005-12-31 15:59:20 UTC
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.0)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs
OS:                Linux

I got an encoding error that stated something like: Klassik, genre-tag not supported/known.

I am not sure why this should stop lame from encoding since it is up to the user to decide which genre-names to use, but anyway.

For most users it would be very helpful, if KAudioCreator would check whether the tags passed to lame are actually accepted, e.g. if Klassik is a "standard-conform" genre-tag and if not, give a notification that it has to be altered before proceeding.

Well, does anyone of the developers read these bugreports?

I had the same problem, at the Preferences where you can set up the encoders, you should add to the lame arguments the following "ignore-tag-errors" and lame will set the genre tag to "Other" and will not refuse encoding the file.

Look at bug 119656, it causes data-loss and nobody cares. I think kaudiocreator needs a new maintainer.

I have the same problem. The workaround: I have to give the album a new standard genre, that lame recognizes.

There are two solutions: change the lame command so it accepts all genres or ask for a genre before the ripping starts.

Why is this bug classified as "wishlist"?

This bug is serious, nearly two years old but nobody cares.
