megatavi Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 v3-build-874-arm64-play OnePlus 8 Pro (IN2020) Android 10 (OxygenOS 10.5.12) When I try changing the metadata of a FLAC track, the data does get embedded but nothing else in the app changes. For instance, changing the album name of any other file type should change the library/lists and track labels, but with FLAC files it stays like nothing happened at all. Is there a reason why this happens, or is this a bug? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewilley Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 The library entry is meant to change to reflect the edits. Try a Settings > Library > Rescan to force it to update. Andre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
megatavi Posted July 26, 2020 Author Share Posted July 26, 2020 @andrewilley I just tried that, but it's still the same. When going into "Info/Tags", the new info is inputted and shows that the change is made, but the library and labels do not update/sort like they would with, say, an mp3 track.

andrewilley Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 Strange, I have no idea why. You could try a Full Rescan. If that does not work then probably there is/was something wrong with the file format after the data-rewrite that is preventing PA's scanner from picking up the changes. If that's the case, please can you send a sample of one of the updated files to @maxmp (use the Send feature within the app - long-press on song title > Send > Gmail > gpmaxmpz @ gmail.com). If you have a backup copy of the same file from prior to the changes being saved, that might help too. Andre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
megatavi Posted July 26, 2020 Author Share Posted July 26, 2020 I think I found the issue. Some of the FLAC files are CUEs so that's probably why I couldn't edit or even delete them through the app. I'm not familiar with this type of file, is there a reason why PA has such an aversion toward CUEs?

andrewilley Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 CUE files are not audio files, they are a list of 'pointers' to an audio file (or files) which create pseudo-tracks. If your physical FLAC files were created one file per track, you do not need the CUE files at all. CUE files were originally designed to describe a CD's layout (tracks, titles, etc) when all of the audio was in one large hour-long file. You could re-burn the CD using the one large file and a CUE file to describe where each track begins and ends. Andre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
