FLAC Tags are not saving/displaying properly

2003-12-18 02:57:19

I'm going crazy here. I've spent the last few days using Masstagger along with tradersfriend to tag all of my FLAC files. Now, when I try to open some of the files that have been tagged already (either on the local machine or a remote computer) some of the tags don't display properly.

When this happens, the first thing I do is check the file info for each of the files that seems to not be displaying the proper information. I usually discover one of the following:

1. The tag data shows up on in the file info GUI. When this is the case, I try to reload info from file and sometimes the file updates itself sometimes it doesn't.

2. The tag data doesn't show up in the GUI even though I know that I  tagged this file already. I tried to reload the info from file, but this never works. I then update the tag info again and generally, the tag info again doesn't save. What the heck is going on? There doesn't seem to be anything unique about the files where the tag doesn't save. I've already checked to make sure that the file isn't READ-ONLY.

FYI, whenever tag info doesn't diplay, I generally remove the files from the playlist, restart fb2k, and reload the files. 9 times out of 10, this doesn't do anything.

Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated.

Preferences > Database > make sure "Don't write modified tags to files." isn't checked. That's all I can think of atm. Perhaps related to this thread?
