Ogg music files that are copied to a collection (e.g. on a USB drive) and transcoded to mp3 lose their metadata. The command line for transcoding looks like ffmpeg -y -i '/home/itsme/Dokumente/Musik/Alben/Radiohead/Kid A/01 - Everything in Its Right Place.ogg' -acodec libmp3lame -aq 3 '/media/CRUZFIT/Radiohead/Kid A/01 - Everything in Its Right Place.mp3' and doesn't use the -map_metadata switch. Reproducible: Always

How do you get Amarok - do you compile it?
I got Amarok from packman: <http://ftp.uni-erlangen.de/pub/mirrors/packman/suse/12.2/Essentials/x86_64/> Metadata of tracks that aren't in my collection path are presented correctly. I now think that it's rather a problem with ffmpeg. When I execute the command line I mentioned above, no metadata is written to the target file... ffmpeg origins from the same source as Amarok.

This wors for other people AFAIK.
I performed some additional tests and finally added the -map_metadata switch with parameter "0:s" (default is "0:g"): $> ffmpeg -y -i 01\ -\ Everything\ in\ Its\ Right\ Place.ogg -acodec libmp3lame -map_metadata 0:s -aq 3 test.mp3 ffmpeg version 0.11.1 Copyright (c) 2000-2012 the FFmpeg developers built on Jun 10 2012 22:43:48 with gcc 4.7.1 20120723 [gcc-4_7-branch revision 189773] configuration: --shlibdir=/usr/lib64 --prefix=/usr --mandir=/usr/share/man --libdir=/usr/lib64 --enable-shared --disable-static --enable-debug --disable-stripping --extra-cflags='-fmessage-length=0 -O2 -Wall -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -fstack-protector -funwind-tables -fasynchronous-unwind-tables -g -fPIC -I/usr/include/gsm' --enable-gpl --enable-x11grab --enable-version3 --enable-pthreads --enable-avfilter --enable-libpulse --enable-libvpx --enable-libmp3lame --enable-libvorbis --enable-libtheora --enable-libspeex --enable-libxvid --enable-libx264 --enable-libschroedinger --enable-libgsm --enable-libopencore-amrnb --enable-libopencore-amrwb --enable-postproc --enable-libdc1394 --enable-librtmp --enable-libfreetype --enable-avresample libavutil 51. 54.100 / 51. 54.100 libavcodec 54. 23.100 / 54. 23.100 libavformat 54. 6.100 / 54. 6.100 libavdevice 54. 0.100 / 54. 0.100 libavfilter 2. 77.100 / 2. 77.100 libswscale 2. 1.100 / 2. 1.100 libswresample 0. 15.100 / 0. 15.100 libpostproc 52. 0.100 / 52. 0.100 Input #0, ogg, from '01 - Everything in Its Right Place.ogg': Duration: 00:04:11.42, start: 0.000000, bitrate: 265 kb/s Stream #0:0: Audio: vorbis, 44100 Hz, stereo, s16, 256 kb/s Metadata: KDE-ENCODER : kio_audiocd TITLE : Everything in Its Right Place ARTIST : Radiohead ALBUM : Kid A GENRE : Electronic track : 1 DATE : 2000 METADATA_BLOCK_PICTURE: [...] Output #0, mp3, to 'test.mp3': Metadata: KDE-ENCODER : kio_audiocd TIT2 : Everything in Its Right Place TPE1 : Radiohead TALB : Kid A TCON : Electronic TRCK : 1 TDRL : 2000 METADATA_BLOCK_PICTURE: [...] TSSE : Lavf54.6.100 Stream #0:0: Audio: mp3, 44100 Hz, stereo, s16 Stream mapping: Stream #0:0 -> #0:0 (vorbis -> libmp3lame) Press [q] to stop, [?] for help size= 5927kB time=00:04:11.45 bitrate= 193.1kbits/s video:0kB audio:5897kB global headers:0kB muxing overhead 0.512607% (The metadata fields are now named differently.) According to the ffmpeg documentation (<http://ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg.html>) per stream metadata is copied, which results in mp3 files containing the metadata and is different from copying the global metadata. In the end this is not a problem of Amarok. However, I would like to know, if my Ogg files lack some critical information for successful transcoding of metadata, or if my installation of ffmpeg is flawed in some obscure way.
Interesting, so: a) Output #0, mp3, to '/media/CRUZFIT/Radiohead/Kid A/01 - Everything in Its Right Place.mp3': Metadata: TSSE : Lavf54.6.100 Stream #0:0: Audio: mp3, 44100 Hz, stereo, s16 Metadata: KDE-ENCODER : kio_audiocd TITLE : Everything in Its Right Place ARTIST : Radiohead ALBUM : Kid A GENRE : Electronic track : 1 DATE : 2000 METADATA_BLOCK_PICTURE: [...] Stream mapping: Stream #0:0 -> #0:0 (vorbis -> libmp3lame) b) Output #0, mp3, to 'test.mp3': Metadata: KDE-ENCODER : kio_audiocd TIT2 : Everything in Its Right Place TPE1 : Radiohead TALB : Kid A TCON : Electronic TRCK : 1 TDRL : 2000 METADATA_BLOCK_PICTURE: [...] TSSE : Lavf54.6.100 Stream #0:0: Audio: mp3, 44100 Hz, stereo, s16 Stream mapping: Stream #0:0 -> #0:0 (vorbis -> libmp3lame) Where b) works but a) does not, right? Now I wonder how metadata of a) actually look like. Can you use a tool like MP3Diags to diagnose it? Or upload the 2 files somewhere? (there may be copyright problems however) Can you also try older ffmpeg? (your 11.1 is rather new, a version like 0.10.x is more tried) The thing is that Amarok could use `-map_metadata 0:s`, but I fear that it could break other things. Additionally we try to be compatible with both ffmpeg and avconv (from libav), and I don't know whether
...whether avconv supports -map_metadata the same way as ffmpeg does.
Created attachment 74034 [details] Sample of one of my ogg files, shortened using Audacity
Created attachment 74035 [details] Transcoded version of the sample
Sample was transcoded using Amarok's facilities.
Thank you for the feedback.
Can reproduce this in v2.6.90-26-gbcdd84c
Set version and status correctly.
Regarding avconv: I am affected by this bug on Ubuntu 12.04, using the ffmpeg command from libav-tools package. Contrary to what Franz said in comment 5, the -map_metadata 0:s option doesn't work here: hactar% ffmpeg -i Breed.ogg -map_metadata 0:s /tmp/bloh.mp3 ffmpeg version 0.8.4-4:0.8.4-0ubuntu0.12.04.1, Copyright (c) 2000-2012 the Libav developers built on Nov 6 2012 16:50:25 with gcc 4.6.3 *** THIS PROGRAM IS DEPRECATED *** This program is only provided for compatibility and will be removed in a future release. Please use avconv instead.

The ffmpeg command needs a slightly different option, -map_metadata 0:0,s0: hactar% ffmpeg -i Breed.ogg -map_metadata 0:0,s0 /tmp/blih.mp3 ffmpeg version 0.8.4-4:0.8.4-0ubuntu0.12.04.1, Copyright (c) 2000-2012 the Libav developers built on Nov 6 2012 16:50:25 with gcc 4.6.3 *** THIS PROGRAM IS DEPRECATED *** This program is only provided for compatibility and will be removed in a future release.

On the other hand, if using the deprecated ffmpeg fake command from libav-tools, the slightly different -map_metadata 0:0,s0 is needed.
Note to self: solve this by actually writing original metadata to transcoded file, we trust taglib more than ffmpeg.
Bug reproducible with v2.8.0
