(Get the code!)
I'm using 1.7.2 and 1.8.0 beta 1. What I'm talking about here is what happens in 1.8.0 beta 1.
I'm having this problem, but have more symptoms I haven't seen mentioned. My FLAC files were created with crip on Linux or the later ones were created with Max on OS X. If you're not familiar with crip, it's FOSS and under GPL. It's in Perl, but I can't remember which library it uses to get tag data or encode. I see I'm not the only one here using Max.
Many of my FLAC files have no artist listed show no artist, while a number of others show the track number in place of the artist. ALL my FLAC files have a duration of 0:00. There are some I've created with Audacity that show up differently, but those still show something like the filename or the title as the artist.
These same files play in Songbird, played in Amarok on Linux and play in Amarok built using MacPorts on OS X. They also play in VLC. And by "play" I mean they come up with all the right information and play perfectly.
I'll be glad to post a logfile if you tell me where it is and I can post a sample file if you need it.
