Re: Weird behavior on overwritten files
Could you send me a small sample file that's causing this (No 20 minute wav's please 
)? If there's no tag then it should show the file name in place of title, but if audacity is just blanking the tags, then you'd get something like that.

Re: Weird behavior on overwritten files
Thanks!
$ file Synclevels.mp3
Synclevels.mp3: Audio file with ID3 version 23.0 tag, MP3 encoding
$ id3v2 -l Synclevels.mp3
id3v2 tag info for Synclevels.mp3:
TCON (Content type): Pop (13)It looks like it has an ID3 tag but just no artist/title. This is definitely a bug. I'll make a trac ticket for it.
Re: Weird behavior on overwritten files
More work... and you had just gotten below 20. Wish I could do more than pile up problems.
Re: Weird behavior on overwritten files
Ok, in audacity a dialog opens, that asks me to fill in the metadata. It asks if I want ID3v1 og ID3v2. It is on ID3v2 as a default, says more flexible, less compatible. (Clue, maybe)
I just press done, without filling in anything.

Re: Weird behavior on overwritten files
Right, it writes an id3v2 tag, but only fills in the Genre entry. Cog currently assumes that if you have an id3 tag (of any type), then you also have artist, title, etc info, which is what's causing the problem.
