Re: [Rhythmbox-devel] Tag wierdness



Thanks, that was it! Now how do I remedy it?

On a side note the correct command is:

gst-launch -t playbin uri=file:///path/to/file/foobar.mp3

How do I strip APE tags from my mp3 files?

It may have APE tags in addition to ID3 tags.  At the moment rhythmbox
will prefer APE tags (because they appear first in the file) over ID3
tags, see: http://bugs.gnome.org/362876

id3info won't report APE tags, nor will it report ID3v2.4 tags because
it uses id3lib which only reads tags with <= ID3v2.3.  You should be
able to see ID3v2.4 tags in the exfalso tag editor (part of
quod-libet).

You should be able to see all the tags which gstreamer can see (which
includes ID3v1, ID3v2 and APE) by:

gst-inspect -t playbin file:///path/to/file/foobar.mp3

it will print out something like:
