Some MUSICBRAINZ metadata written by picard is not shown in FLAC files
cquike opened this issue · 5 comments
I have some flac files that I have tagged with picard (https://picard.musicbrainz.org/) and it seems like there are some comments in the metadata block that are not being shown by mediainfo. They are however shown by metaflac.
These are the ones I found:
MUSICBRAINZ_ALBUMID
MUSICBRAINZ_ALBUMARTISTID (it can appear more than once)
MUSICBRAINZ_TRACKID
MUSICBRAINZ_ARTISTID
MUSICBRAINZ_RELEASETRACKID
Thank you!
For the record, I am using mediainfo CLI 23.10 from Debian testing repositories.
I have also checked with some ogg files, comparing the output with ogginfo and the problem is the same.
We currently disable the display of the Musicbraninz IDs because they "pollute" the output without much value added for the user.
Difficulty to choose between not enough metadata display and too verbose output.
Would it be useful to someone to show such idea, maybe with an option?
Thanks for the reply. I understand your concern, but my problem is that I was struggling quite a bit because I could not see those tags. It took me quite a while to understand that mediainfo was hiding information.
Yes, maybe an option can be added that shows all the information (are there other "hidden" metadata?).
Checking the source code, not much, stuff like "NULL" or repetition of broadcast extensions "bext".
I'll switch to available but hidden (so only available with " --full" option) fields.
Thanks!
