Shoot! I would have NEVER thought of copying the files locally to try, but yeah, copying the files to the local drive did in fact make their tags readable by Amarok.
I did some further tests, and it looks like the problem manifests itself on read-only samba shares.... another share pointing to a different root path (but having access to the same directory) but set read-write allows the tags to be read/etc. The one I was trying to use was a simple read-only share - and apparently the tag reader doesn't process those files (?), but amarok still plays the files. I copied an mp3 or two to the directory the read-only ogg share looks at, and they too aren't recognized by the tag library when I import off of the read-only share - so the issue appears to be with the tag reading library, and of course the issue is with me for setting up the share to begin with. Thank you very much for your ideas and help on this. If I can help in trying to nail down the issues with taglib with read-only samba shares, I'd be glad to as well. -- [feisty] Amarok doesn't read vorbis tags https://launchpad.net/bugs/91229 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
