ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Comment 1 Nate Graham 2020-11-28 19:31:56 UTC 
Cannot reproduce with some mp3 and m4a songs of mine. Any chance you can attach the song in question?
Comment 2 David Hart 2020-11-29 22:56:48 UTC 
None of the 8,000 or so flac audio files show genre in the column. I tried to attach one but I have no sample which does not exceed the attachment limit. Here you go: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1T9uRSjbIeeNPGkiLbn94rgzlyIadpQK3/view?usp=sharing 

I suppose that I could dd a sample if you prefer.
Comment 3 Nate Graham 2020-12-01 18:37:31 UTC 
Can reproduce. Seems like an issue with KFileMetadata being unable to read the genre from FLAC files. Thanks!
Comment 4 Méven Car 2020-12-02 07:03:04 UTC 
I had a look at kfilemetadata code, it supports Flac Genre just fine. It has unit tests.
And the info panel data comes from kfilemetada, so having Genre there means it works fine.

Do you have baloo enabled and running ?
If not this is a duplicate of bug 406506
Comment 5 Nate Graham 2020-12-02 15:18:30 UTC 
Ah looks like Baloo turned itself off due to failures to index some files. So yes indeed, this is a duplicate of 406506.

Perhaps we should port Dolphin's column view to use KFileMetadata.
