Description Jeffrey 2011-09-12 03:04:57 UTC
Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.6.5) 
OS:                Linux

For an MP3 file, neither the Information Panel nor the right-click > Properties > Information screen list the Artist, Album, or Song title.  These aren't always included in the file name or folder structure, and should be available in multiple places in Dolphin.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Find a random MP3 file and try to get the information about that file.

Actual Results:  
olphin can't tell me the artist, song title, album title, nor year.

Expected Results:  
I should be able to see all metadata information in Dolphin for MP3 files (but also for so many other filetypes as well, like photos).  I would like to see this in the Information panel if I have that; or in the right-click > Properties; or in the Details viewmode, it would be nice to sort by this information.

Thank you for KDE

Could you please give us more information which distribution you use and whether you've installed strigi? Information like mentioned above are displayed here without problems also when disabling Nepomuk. Thanks!

I'm running Debian Sid x64, currently at KDE 4.6.5 and I've not disabled Nepomuk nor Strigi.  I can see the mp3 files' Average Bitrate, Location, Channels, Tags, and more, but not the Artist, Album, Year, and other mp3 info.
Comment 3 Peter Penz 2011-09-12 12:11:02 UTC
Did you right click in the Information Panel -> Configure... and check whether Artist etc. are disabled when selecting an MP3?
Comment 4 Jeffrey 2011-09-12 12:13:11 UTC
Yes, and that gives options to show the Average Bitrate, Location,
Channels, Tags, and more, but not the Artist, Album, Year, and other mp3 info.

Ah sorry, I was wrong in my comment #2: You are right, the information you said is not available there with 4.7. This is most probably an issue in the corresponding MP3-analyzer of Strigi and http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=171000&atid=856302 would be the correct way to report this. However as the Strigi analyzers seem to be very unmaintained I think it is better to leave the report open here. I'm not sure whether I've the time to fix this quite soon (I'm not very familiar with the Strigi analyzers) but I'm sure it worked somewhen in the past -> it definitely should be fixed in the scope of Dolphin.
