Pull Meta Data from Media Rage and The Tagger not working

Post by Pedro »

Hi,

I used Media Rage and "The Tagger" to clean up my ID3 tags and when I add the songs to the library the meta data is not pulled into kJams. iTunes, Preview, and others can pull the information, and display it correctly.

I tried versions 1.0d52r29 and 1.0d52r30 and had the same behavior. I this a known bug? Is there a work around?

found the reason why ... The Tagger and Media Rage do not write UTF8 encoded tags, and kJams does not pick up the encoding used by them. Using http://code.google.com/p/mp3-tag-iconv/ i was able to convert all the tags to UTF8 and it worked, kJams was able to pull the meat data from the files.

Anyway I still fill that that this is a bug that needs to be solved to make kJams more robust.

kJams can read UTF8 and non-utf8 tags.

i just tried media rage and it worked perfectly. perhaps you could send me a sample mp3 file that has tags that kJams does not read?

are you on mac or windows? what version of media rage do you have?
