Full Version: FLAC Tagging

I recently aquired 3 shn files and then decompressed them to wav files. Once they were wav files, i compressed them to flac files. Now here is where my problem comes in.

Everytime I try to tag the files, the tags will not stick. I have tried Foobar and it gives me an error abuot trying to write to these files, but it looks as though the tags worked. However, when I close Foobar and reload any of these songs, the tags are gone.

So... then I tried Frontah. It assures me that the tags of these files are Vorbis, just like all my other files I have encoded. Well, I tried changing the tags with this program, and it will not change them either. It just stops and gives me a stop sign next to the file. :/

Any idea what is going on? No matter how many times I try to tag the files, nothing works. I am trying to find the files again and see if I can convert them in different ways so the tags will work.

Thanks for any help.

My first guess is that the files are read-only. Check their attributes.

I haven't tried tagging in Foobar... but I do know that the Winamp2 plugin is an easy way for tagging FLAC files. Also, the FLAC frontend can batch-tag when converting from wav > FLAC.

Yep, the files were read-only. Sometimes I really feel like an idiot. laugh.gif Thanks for the help.
