Additional command line problem with "comment", help needed Options

[hydrogenxx]

Hi, this is my EAC additional command line in compression options:

-V -8 -T "artist=%artist%" -T "title=%title%" -T "album=%albumtitle%" -T "date=%year%" -T "tracknumber=%tracknr2%" -T "genre=%genre%" %source%


It works perfect, but I wanted to add the "comment" parameter as well, and have made this change:

-V -8 -T "artist=%artist%" -T "title=%title%" -T "album=%albumtitle%" -T "date=%year%" -T "tracknumber=%tracknr2%" -T "genre=%genre%" -T "comment=%comment%" %source%


But nothing happens, after the ripping process the "comment" field in the created tag remains blank. The test encoder function returns no error. What am I doing wrong?

Exactly. Even more complicated: If you want to have a (hopefully small) front cover embedded in a FLAC file's picture block and use something similar to

CODE

--no-padding --no-replay-gain -8 -V -T "ARTIST=%artist%" -T "TITLE=%title%" -T "ALBUM=%albumtitle%" -T "DATE=%year%" -T "TRACKNUMBER=%tracknr1%" -T "GENRE=%genre%" -T "COMMENT=%comment%" -T "ALBUMARTIST=%albumartist%" -T "COMPOSER=%composer%" %haslyrics%--tag-from-file=LYRICS="%lyricsfile%" %haslyrics%-T "DISCNUMBER=%cdnumber%" -T "TOTALDISCS=%totalcds%" -T "TOTALTRACKS=%numtracks%" %hascover%--picture="%coverfile%" %hascover%%source% -o %dest%

, you'll have to check "Add cover image to ID3V2 tag" in "Compression options - ID3 tag".

Wow. Surfi, you are actually the creator of EAC, admit it ;-)

Btw, no space between %hascover%%source%?

Yes, that's intended. You'll find that space after --picture="%coverfile%" and before the second %hascover%. If there's no cover available the whole block between the two %hascover% (including the space which is not needed anymore) will be removed. If you put the space after the second %hascover% and no cover is present you'll get two consecutive spaces.
It's the same for the second %haslyrics%. The space is before that too, not afterwards.

But I have to remove the "--no-replay-gain" option. It's really needless.
