Archives: But No Tags??

PeterGV · #1 (**permalink**) 10-07-2009, 10:38 AM

The audio archives are very nice. But... it seems like the TAGS aren't stored with the audio!

Tags are sooo helpful, I'm very surprised they're not stored with the archives.

Why is this? Any plans to fix this??

It is possible that the streamripping software that we use doesn't record the tag stream data. I'll look into it. Thanks,

After I posted, I thought about this more. Even if you DID save the tags (which you now don't), how could anybody play the audio BACK and display the embedded tags, without the data coming from a server? Answer: They couldn't!

Hmmm... Sounds like another opportunity for a utility,

Thanks Lindsay,

Peter, you are THE most ambitious person I have ever known!

@Baley: Don't be so quick to give me that much credit... I didn't say I would actually *write* that utility. :-)

Heck, I've still got to finish ScannerCast!

But I *have* been thinking about scanner audio/tag storage and playback...
