           Summary: Not loading genre (TCON) sometimes
           Product: taglib
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Gentoo Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: wheeler kde org
        ReportedBy: thamus kc rr com


Version:           1.3.1 (using KDE KDE 3.3.2)
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages
Compiler:          gcc 3.3.5  
OS:                Linux

I have a lot of mp3s which taglib (used by amaroK) can't seem to read the TCON field.

Long story short, the files are from Emusic.com and they originally had the genre \
information in TIT1, which wasn't read by anything. So I used id3v2 ( \
http://id3v2.sourceforge.net/ ) to modify the TCON field to be the same as TIT1.

After that, amaroK was able to load the Genre information for some of them, but not \
the majority of files.  Something might have gone wrong (including operator error), \
but both id3v2 and id3info are able to read TCON from the files even when my taglib \
test program can't.

An example file is:
http://www.thamus.org/brokenTCON.gz
It's a gzip mp3 file (the provider doesn't like mp3s).

Let me know if you need other examples.

Here is the output from the various apps:
