OGG / FLAC Tag Data

[Guest]

Hello,

I am trialling the software and I seem to be having an issue where Silverjuke is not recognising the tag data on my FLAC files.

I have checked the files in Tag&Rename and the album and artist info is defintely there - just not seen / used / displayed on Silverjuke.

Any ideas ?

Thanks,

Joe

Currently, the only possibility to read meta-information from non-MP3-files (or non-ID3-files) is the file name. However, OGG and FLAC files can be played using the correspondung modules and, for the foreseeable future, we've planned at least a better OGG-support for Silverjuke.

Best regards,

Dear Mr,
Even so I prefer your software to MediaMonkey, I will never use a software that do not allow to rip and manage perfect copy of my audio cd (e.g. use and tag FLAC or other).
Cordially.

So basically, if you keep your music in a folder titled "Music" try looking for your .flac and .ogg albums under "M". Or if your music folder is called "Albums" look for the aformentioned formats under "A".

Is this a problem that can be addressed with a patch? Will this be fixed in upcoming releases/versions?
This is probably the only issue preventing me from purchasing Silverjuke. I spent a lot of time taging my music files. For an application not to utilize that information, especially an alphbetized jukebox application, makes this little more than a project in testing. I cannot consider this a product to purchase when it cannot properly read or file half of my music collection.
Don't get me wrong, I really like it so far, but I just can't recommend it with these kind of problems. I will gladly pay for this software when this flaw is fixed.

The next version of Silverjuke will be Silverjuke 1.22 (is already in the release queue). Currently we are working on a better format support, which will be availabale in the version coming after 1.22 including ...

- The capability to read and write Tags of MP3, OGG, FLAC and MPC files

- Tags will be read from WMA files

- Better playback support for these files

We think this will fix some of the problems mentioned above.
