Library & File Issue: Flac "Comment, Label, & Remixer" Tags Not Being Saved

bascurtiz 9:18 PM - 9 August, 2018
I'm setting up a customized version of foobar, to quickly tag Energy, Genre, Mood & Characteristics to MP3 & FLAC files:
See snapshot here at gyazo.com

The Energy rating I want directly translated from Low, Mid & High, resp. 1, 3 & 5 stars.
In order to do this for MP3 & FLAC, I write character ★, ★★★ or ★★★★★ to COMPOSER field.

The Genre goes into GENRE field;
The Mood goes into REMIXER field;
The Characteristics gets written in the LABEL field (PUBLISHER);
With MP3 all gets read out in Serato.

Though with FLAC, only COMPOSER & GENRE are read.
The REMIXER & LABEL field wont show content.

So I did it the other way around.
Entering some dummy text in REMIXER & LABEL field within Serato.
Serato shows it is saving, the moment I hit Enter.
When closed, I look these files up in Mp3tag, but also Foobar.

Guess what... That extra dummy text is not present in these FLACS(?)
Is Serato using its local database for these values?

Is this issue not fixed: serato.com ?

Hi, I started another thread related to this. Please check it out. Any constructive input you can give would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

(hopefully someday serato Flac will work properly, but until then maybe we can combine our knowledge to best work around these issues)

I have been doing the exact same sort of thing and experiencing the same problems for years.
