[SOLVED] Music tagging & MPD
by Lindgren from LinuxQuestions.org on (#6ETQC)
Hi!
For a while I have been quite baffled with the tagging of music and MPD along with it.
I have quite a collection of music which I want in a a fair order, and when something turns up with like "Other" or "Unknown" or similar I want to fix it.
But for some reason the tagging fails on (some) files, It shows up like an actual Genre in one application and something else when I check with another tool, like in the picture attached.. This file was written a long time ago so it's not like it was too fresh for a mpd database update since then, but as you can see my MPD clients (Cantata and ncmpcpp) shows it as "Other" and exiftool says "PsyTrance". I can even tag it with id3v2 again and there are no changes.
Grepping for "Other" on the file gives nothing, so I don't know where it finds the genre to turn up like "Other"??
Anyone knows why it's like this?
