Lack of the MD5 data or presence of an ID3v2 tag shouldn't break the scanner. To get to the bottom of this I really need to see one of your files. -- andyg andyg's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=

My Ipod started working again. Here is the output when I used the "flac" command on a flac music file that won't scan in and was ripped using Sound Juicer with flac v 1.1.2: l...@led-desktop:~/Music/All my music$ flac -t barrytest.flac flac 1.2.1, Copyright (C) 2

Hi Andyg and Matka * When I run "flac -o test01.flac badTrack.flac" it says that the flac file contains an ID3v2 tag and quits. The flac files do not however contain ID3 tags - I used both kid3-qt and EasyTag to confirm that only vorbis tags exist. I can provide screenshots of this if you would

Your flac files do not look right, md5sum should always be calculated. I've seen some posts on Ubuntu forums when there were problems with Sound Juicer and one of the recommendations to fix it was to rerun thru flac again. I had some flac files with the "libFLAC 1.1.2 20050205" and after passing t

Hi all * Mnyb, you asked "Does it work if you remove the tags completely from a file ? and play via browse music folder ?" Nope, no change, I still can't scan in flac files even with all tags removed. It is only the flac format that has this problem. Mp3 and wav scan in ok. I can play all flac f

server.log and scanner.log files location is OS dependent look in the information tab in settings in the web-UI of sbs. Btw try with a commercially aviable flac file with tags untouched by you, to see if it works at all ? This is very weird as flac playback is native to the players and have been

Hi Snarly D Ta for the tips. Hopefully 7.4.2 is released soon. I need a miracle. My flac files only have Vorbis tags so I don't know what else to do to get them to scan in. I guess if 7.4.2 fails then I might have to consider generating ID3 tags from the vorbis tags. Not ideal, but I'm very desp

7.4.1 removed (accidentally, though not a totally bad idea) support for ID3 tags in flacs. 7.4.2 returned that feature (or misfeature) Vorbis tags are MUCH more flexible than ID3 tags, so it would be best if you used them instead of ID3... But if you don't have a tagger you like (I use Musi

Hi I get the message "ERROR SCANNING Unable to read tags from file" in scanner.log when scanning in flac files on my Squeezebox Classic. All other formats (mp3 and wav) scan ok. I'm using Ubuntu 9.04 and Squeezebox Server v7.4.1 installed via Synaptic. I imported all music from CD using Sound J
