Description Pim Schellart 2007-02-06 16:10:21 UTC

Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.6)
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages
OS:                Linux

Amarok is unable to change tags of iTunes generated AAC files. (it errors on save so a bugreport was in order)

I've got the same problem here. I bought a couple of DRM-free songs from iTunes but I cannot change any tags with Amarok (probably a libtag problem?). As a work-around I use easytag.

Comment 2 Mark Kretschmann 2007-06-16 11:19:05 UTC

From our README: 

    * libmp4v2 (mpeg4ip 1.5 is recommended, faad2 is less reliable)
      (MP4/AAC tag reading & writing)
      http://www.sf.net/projects/mpeg4ip
      http://www.audiocoding.com

So you see, Amarok must be built with libmp4v2 to gain AAC write support. Ask your favorite distro packager.

Hello Arnout. mpeg4ip is not yet packaged for Debian, though it's work
in progress. If you'd like to see it uploaded rather sooner than later,
and are a bit familiar with Debian packaging, you can help out by
filling the missing bits of:

  % svn co svn://svn.debian.org/pkg-multimedia/uniways/mpeg4ip/

I think it's mostly the control and copyright files that need help. Mail
your changes to Sam Hocevar <sam+deb@zoy.org>.

Cheers,

I just saw mpeg4ip is already packaged by Christian Marillat on
debian-multimedia.org. Would it be alright to use his control and copyright
files? I do know the general structure of a Debian package but I've never
actually made one myself.

Cheers,
