![]() Thank you for your post and for providing all the details.įLAC uses the Vorbis Comment tagging format which has distinct fields for the track number and the total number of tracks. This doesn't seem to happen with other text fields such as lyricist, composer, comment, etc., but only with the artist field (as far as I've been able to discover).Īpologies for the long post, but I hope the detail may help you in resolving the issues. In short, it appears that within the track and disc number tags, fre:ac is consistently reversing the form of the source, removing '/total' when present, and adding '/total' when not present in addition to stripping leading zeros.įinally, regarding the artist tag, it appears that whenever the source file does not have an artist tag (or that tag is empty), that fre:ac fails to clear that tag, and instead inserts into the output file the artist tag left over from the previous file that fre:ac converted. With the disc numbers, the '/total' has always been lost. In addition, the track numbers which were of the form 10/12, have become of the form 10 (the '/total' has been lost), and the track numbers which were of the form 08, have become of the form 8/20 (the '/total' has been added). mp3 files, as shown in Mp3tag and also as shown in fre:ac's tag window, the track numbers have all lost their leading zero. flac tags to make them all consistent of the form 01/20). They are always two digits, with leading zero where necessary. The track numbers are of the form 01, 02, etc. The disc numbers are of the form 1/3, 2/3, 3/3, etc. flac files, every track has track number and disc number filled in. ![]() I've tried several different source directory trees, each containing either two or three CDs (directories), and each CD containing between 12 and 20 tracks. In each case I've used Mp3tag to examine the tags, and have also confirmed that fre:ac's job list tag tab shows the same results that I am going to describe. The one issue I've run up against is with tags, specifically the file numbers and disc numbers in tags, and the artist tag. After a bit of learning and experimentation, I have achieved an excellent result, including reproducing the directory tree, copying the tags, and copying the artwork (just a single picture per file). ![]() flac files (ripped from my CD library) to. Hello, and thanks for fre:ac, which I've just downloaded in order to convert my library of.
