Reply With QuotePlease please have this working in CF2. The awful behavior with FLAC files is my biggest problem with Streetdeck, and I'll gladly pay for CF2 if it works nicely with them.
I'm having trouble getting CF 1.47 to recognize album names and album art for FLAC files. I believe the tags are are ID3v1. Created in media monkey. I can get them to display no problem in WMP. I searched the forums but found nothing. The files show up under artist in unknown album. Which is kind of a pain because it's only a handful of artists and like 4000 songs. Which makes for really long albums. Any help is appreciated.

No luck, still the sameOriginally Posted by johnk
Hey..
Any CF rep input on this? I too am excited about cf2.0 but plan on heavily using flac to preserve audio quality.
thanks,
I run Flac also. How bout an answer?
I think the real question is what type of tag should we be using to get all of our tag info to show up in centrafuse? Flac tags? ID3v2? If anyone has been able to do this successfully, what program do you use to tag your files? The files will play just fine in CF, the hard part is finding them without the proper tag info.
Are ID3 tags actually used in FLAC files? I thought FLACs just used a tag specific to the FLAC format.
Most of my FLAC files are just tagged by the flac.exe encoder at the time they were created. Some of them I have later touched up with Media Monkey.
I think Centrafuse should do whatever Winamp does.
According to the flac site at soundforge.net you can use ID3 tags although it is discouraged. They recomend the use of mp3tag for tagging flacs if you aren't tagging them directly with the encoder. I don't know how that program tags them. I too use media monkey but CF will only read the song title however they show up fine in Windows Media Player. Does the tag information show up for you after fixing in media monkey?
Maybe I will try mp3tag. Encoding the files with the tag info is not an option. Most of my music is live music downloaded legally (grateful dead, phish, and the like) I'm not going through my 1TB and re-encoding all of them.
Alright I've tagged a test file using the program mp3tag v2.41 as the flac site recommended with APE, ID3v1, ID3v2.3 ISO, ID3v2.3 UTF 16, and ID3v2.4 UTF 8 tags. And Hurrah!!! It read every one of them. Now it didn't diplay album art for any of them. But it's getting late, I'll play more tomorrow. Here's the link if you want to check the program out.

I haven't installed Centrafuse yet. I wanted to wait until it got more stable first... but maybe I'll try installing it on a test PC.
