Description Matt Whitlock 2010-10-15 04:39:26 UTC
Version:           2.3.2 (using KDE 4.5.2) 
OS:                Linux

I had a few MP3 tracks in my collection that had valid ReplayGain tags ("aacgain -s c" showed the correct data), but Amarok wasn't importing the ReplayGain values into its database. I discovered that all of them had an extra block of tags between the ID3v1 tag and the APETAGEX block. The block begins with BEGINLYRICS and ends with LYRICS200. Apparently this block is a Lyrics3v2 tag: http://www.id3.org/Lyrics3v2

I don't care if Amarok does anything with the information in that (in fact I'd prefer that it didn't since Lyrics3 is evidently an abandoned standard), but the presence of a Lyrics3 block shouldn't prevent Amarok from reading the APETAGEX block and picking up the ReplayGain info.

Perhaps Amarok could just detect the Lyrics3 block immediately preceding the ID3v1 block, read its size, and skip over it to find the APETAGEX.

Reproducible: Always




OS: Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.34-gentoo-r6
Compiler: x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc

For the tracks without these lyrics blocks, are the ReplayGain values read correctly? (You don't say.)
Comment 2 Matt Whitlock 2010-10-26 17:01:09 UTC
Yes, all the tracks without a Lyrics3 block have their Replay Gain values read correctly from the APETAGEX blocks.
Comment 3 Jeff Mitchell 2010-10-26 17:48:45 UTC
I've verified that all of our tags for this are coming from TagLib -- so if the tag isn't being found, it's due to TagLib not finding it.

Reassigning to TagLib so they can take a look.

I ran into the same problem and wrote a patch - hopefully that's something to build on. It doesn't work with all files though.

Ok, fixed a stupid mistake, now it's working with all of my files.
