I’m grateful for the new build that is populating Artist Genres in flac files. However, it is not recognizing the ‘/’ separator between multiple genres, like it does in .mp3 files. So my artists with flac files get genres like
instead of
Odd. The genres are recognized and separated properly for me on both the artist and albums since the upgrade. I’m running windows, so I don’t know if that would make a difference.
I use MP3Tag and MusicBrainz Picard to tag with. I do know that when I tried using “/” as a separator, I saw results similar to what you posted. If I used “\\” (two back-slashes) as a separator the genres were separated. I don’t know what the linux equivalent to that is, or if that’s part of any tagging standards, but it works for me.
EDIT: I’ve been using that method for at least a couple of years. It’s not something I modified recently. Artists genres were not recognized until the recent fix though.
I think the key is to use 2 separate “Genre” Vorbis comments, instead of combining them into one:
These then appear as separated by 2 backslashes in the main interface of mp3tag.
(I don’t know if this is a standard for entering them as well.)
I believe that is correct. I do recall now reading somewhere that in order to write multiple and separate tags in MP3Tag for both flac and mp3 you use double backslashes, otherwise the tags are wrote as a single genre.
I have no problem with tags written by foobar2000, which afaik uses NULL values to separate.
Okay, so maybe the problem is in the way Puddletag writes the tags. I’ll look into that. Thanks all.
