Please zip or gzip the file and add it to a forum post here as an attachment. The attachments section is just below where you type your reply. You need to put the filename in the New Attachment box (use the Browse button to make this easier) and then press the Add Attachment button on the right-hand side of the page.

Here goes. Title is not very imaginative. I shall date and number in future but this one is just Test.tar.gz

I'm not sure yet. Perhaps I'll have some ideas when I see the writeAllTags file.

It would be very helpful if you could let me know what is the audio format of your files (FLAC, MP3, ALAC, etc.), and what tagging program you used to enter the tags (exact version and platform).

OK. Most classical files are FLAC. Earlier ripping was to MP3 until I had renderers which would handle FLAC and now I only rip to FLAC. The basic tagging from public databases is hopeless and now I am using EasyTAG 2.1.7. I might also have used earlier version. Platform is:-
System OS: Linux 3.1.10-1.16-desktop x86_64
System: openSUSE 12.1 (x86_64)
Desktop: KDE: 4.7.2 (4.7.2) "release 5"

Quote:Amongst the genres listed I can see the delimiter \\ and commas where I have not yet edited correctly. Is this how files for which I have two genres should appear in this list?

They should appear as two separate tags of the form:
GENRE=value1
GENRE=value2

If they're appearing as:
GENRE=value1\\value2
or:
GENRE=value1,value2
this means the Genre tags in your files aren't in the correct format.

As I suspected. Something is wrong. I have Puddletag installed but will need to get used to it. Will wait for your next instruction.
Best wishes and many thanks again.
Budgie.
