Tagging FLAC?

Most certainly version differences.  I am using 0.9.4.5

ok I installed it, had the files in the live show tagger, hit update files and got Could not load info (Unsupported file format) from:
"D:\oldd\wsp1991-02-09\wsp1991-02-09.sbd.flac16\wsp1991-02-09.txt"


huh?

If this is an older show where the txt file and flac naming aren't really to etree standards there could be a couple things going on. However I would simply start by renaming the .txt file as wsp1991-02-09.info, as that can be a hangup for it.

Also to strip any old metadata/tag info you should be able to : highlight files - right click - choose "properties", that will bring up the manual meta/tag editing page where you can delete (or add) older information.

it is simple and fast.  right click > tagging > live show tagger.  it pulls everything from the textfile.

Wow, how easy!

it really is. the only thing you might want to do after that is go in and update the 'album' info, which LST doesn't do. i use Tag & Rename for that.

this is a good topic to keep at the top. i'm surprised at how many people still aren't tagging their FLACs.

I can't seem to get either Foobar or Tag&Rename to work right. Foobar worked once or twice but that's about it. I've been trying to follow the same format but nothing still. What gives? Reinstall maybe?

Working so far...Thanks for the tip!

OK, I am having problems all of a sudden.  It is taking only the first three songs and naming all of the songs from each of three sets with the same name.  My text file is arranged the exact same way that I have been doing it for years.  I am stumped.  To top it off I think that one can only strip the tags off of mp3s and not off of FLAC files using FOOBAR.  UGH!

Edit to strike out an incorrect statement.
Edit #2: fuckin-a.  It did not want to tag properly because I named the files phish2009-10-31Set1t01!  I had to change it to phish2009-10-31S1t01

I was using tag and rename for that portion to then someone pointed out you can do it in foobar.  highlight all tracks > right click > properties.  you can then add and change all the info you want.
