Kubuntu 12.04 32 bit I dont' know if there were some work since 2.5 to correct issues noticed with Id3 tags. In the doubt I re-post : The cause of this problem are now (to me) clearly identified: it is when a track lacks a title and/or an artist name) e/g 1) The picture "amarok_version" shows id3tag of a specific track. When it comes straight from a collection re-scan there is Title: Alarma Interpret: the field is empty Album: Paradoxx Track number: 666 Genre: Makina The artist name (666) has been typed by myself just before the screenshot. If I save now, it will be recorded in amaroks own data but not in the file -> all information are lost after another re-scan 2) The picture kid3 version shows the id3tag of the same track at the same moment with the kid3 software. As you can see, the "True" tags are Title: empty Interpret: 666 Album: Paradoxx Track number: 666 Genre: Makina Please note the difference for the Title and Interpret fields for the two softare, which to me demonstrate that: Should amarok finde a track that has no Title and or Interpret field in its tag (or empty one? ) it will: 1) guess the tag from the name of the file 2) for some reason it won't be able to save any modification on this track Reproducible: Always
Created attachment 71551 [details] This shows the amarok version of the tag
Created attachment 71552 [details] this shows the ki3d version of the "True" tag
