Thank you Phil, I didn't find this new info yet (just switched to
7.5.x). Here's what it says:
Tag version: FLAC, ID3v2.3.0
Yes, so you do have FLAC and ID3 tags present. If you have the latest version
of 7.5.0, the scanner will now read all id3 tags that it understands, and then
overwrite
The 4-letter tags are ID3 tags.
I have custom id3 tags that are not 4-letter tag frame names. eg. ARTISTSORT
and ALBUMARTIST tags. Would it be better to show these as custom id3 tags,
such as as TXXX name: value?
MP3Tag doesn't show ID3 tags in FLAC files.
It would, if the file only had id3

I fixed a bug today that should fix your problem, the FLAC Album tag

remove your bad ID3 tags as this may confuse other apps in the future.

Could be EAC, if you use it. In EAC, under EAC Compression Options

encode to FLAC, it _will_ add both FLAC amd ID3 tags. Make sure it's
not checked.

I have not come across such a problem before. (two years and four or
five kubuntu upgrades) Some one has slipped up, probably when SBS went

been updated as soon

We are the community :) I like early adoption, it forces out the errors
quicker. Of course that only applies if the developers stay on top of
things. 7.4.1 came out fairly swiftly after 7.4.0 so that's a good sign.
Any idea when 7.4.2 is destined for

It seems to me that 7.4.2 is a developmental cul-de-sac. I'm trying to
determine why the Customize Controller plugin broke as soon as I updated
to 7.4.2 - but not if 7.4.2 is obsolete.
