Re: [kde] AudioCD tags

Hi all,

My question is simple: what program should I use to set the tags?
Actually, I need to change tags of audio tracks before burning them with
k3b. I am not sure if those tags are the same that can be changed in mp3
files. I tried to change tags through:
1) KDE Konqueror (right click on a filename -> Properties -> Meta Info);
2) tagmp3;
3) k3b (right click on an audio track -> Properties... ->
Title/Performer, no Year/Genre tags there).
I can see all the tags in KHex editor; I can see differences in tags
when I change any of them using any of the aforementioned methods. But
when I burn AudioCD and play it with KsCD, I see that some of disks were
burnt with correct information (Performer / Album / Title), but many of
them didn't have this information at all, so they are shown as Unknown
Performer and Track 1 (2, 3, etc.). It looks that my changes had no
effect at all.
Is it a problem of setting tags? Or is it a problem of KsCD recognizing
tags? Or is it a conflict of tag writing software versions? Or is it a
problem with character encoding? Or is it simply a problem of my
configuration?

Many thanks in advance for your advice.

Andriy

You will probably have the lame library installed - doing all the actual
mp3 encoding work behind the scenes. If, in a console window you type
"man lame" you will see the very many options that lame has available,
including id3 tag options like --tt title and --ta artist --tl album etc
etc. So you can use lame to achieve what you want with commands like :

lame --tt 'Penny Road' --ta 'The Beatles' file_in.mp3 file_out.mp3

This approach has certainly worked for me. Plus if you learn about other
lame options you can make the new track louder, quieter, more/less
compressed etc.
