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.

Thank you for the bug report.

As this report hasn't seen any changes in 5 years or more, we ask if you can please confirm that the issue still persists.

If this bug is no longer persisting or relevant please change the status to resolved.

This project is unfortunately no longer maintained.

If a new maintainer wants to step up and take care, the project is archived here:

https://invent.kde.org/unmaintained/kaudiocreator

You can just clone it in your private namespace on invent.kde.org and if you have started to work on it and fixed/implemented something get it reviewed and the project unarchived.

Sorry for the inconveniences.
