Rockbox truncating FLAC titles on iPod
« on: January 31, 2011, 03:22:07 PM »
I am running Rockbox version r29009M-110108 on iPod Classic 6g.
When playing FLAC files with the title containing a hyphen, For example:
"Symphony No. 1 in C minor, Op. 68: I. Un poco sostenuto - Allegro"
becomes just:
"Allegro"
Another example:
"Symphony No. 1 in C minor, Op. 68: IV. Finale: Adagio - Allegro ma non troppo"
becomes just:
"Allegro ma non troppo".
This only happens with titles that have a hyphen in them. Is this a bug, or just me forgetting something?

Thanks in advance.

The metadata reader doesn't do anything like that, at least. Have you checked the title tag in a tag editor?

Where does it happen? WPS? Database browser? Tag info screen?

The tag is correct in Easytag, all the various media players I've tried, Nautilus 'properties' window.
I've tried re-copying the files across, retagging the files etc etc. But this is a systematic error across all of the files which have a hyphen in. Other non-alphanumeric characters are fine (colon, slash etc).
Happens in all three of the situations you mention there.

I just tried to add "Symphony No. 1 in C minor, Op. 68: I. Un poco sostenuto - Allegro" as title to one of my flacs -- using Mp3Tag. It works fine and does not truncate anything (sim and iPod Video).

Sorry, but it seems to be my fault entirely. Just checked the output of metaflac for the offending files. Seems Easytag has separated the title up into two tags. So I can't really fault rockbox for picking only one of them.

http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-6001092.html?sid=bc79cc94ae101e715c18ec9ebb4170e8 is a fix though. Will try that. Thank you for your replies.
