Involved People Incomplete

[GHammer]

Hello,

When I get metadata from AMG, the INVOLVEDPEOPLE tag is not complete.
There will be one or sometimes two categories shown, but no data.
Like INVOLVEDPEOPLE=Engineer

This with FLAC files.

Any ideas?

I will need the album you are trying to grab as URL so i can test what happens

Here's one. But this happens on all albums.

Does the tag field display correctly in tgf?

[GHammer]

In the AMG capture screens, it shows the info. It does not tag the file.

[jtclipper]

Send me a flac file please.

[GHammer]

Done

[jtclipper]

The file is tagged fine using the same technique to store the involved people list (IPLS frame) as the ID3v2 standard and that is by using #0 ( Chr(0) ) as a delimiter, I am afraid that the utility you use does not support this char correctly.
Also there is no standard for Flac files (Vorbis comments) as to how this field will be implemented.

[GHammer]

Hmmm. It does not show using metaflac, foobar, or mp3tag.
I don't have any good ideas, but perhaps doing whatever others are doing to have data in the field would be good.
