Title: FLAC Tags
Post by: barren4 on October 25, 2003, 07:39:50 AM: I'm using FLAC frontend. I fill out the "Tag Conf." form and encode. No problems. When Flac frontend is done I get a message (in the dos screen) listing all my tag info and the bottom line says "FLAC tag written."
OK, here's the question. When I decode, no problems with the .wav (that's the important thing), but the tag info doesn't show up in the dos screen and I havn't been able to figure out how to access it. Any suggestions?

Thanks cpclark, that would explain why the tag info doesn't come available on decoding.
