Hello everyone.


I hope some of you can help me out or at least enlighten me.

The category "Unknown artist" in my music collection seems to grow bigger and I wonder why this is happening. What am I doing wrong.

What I do is I rip my CDs with AutoFlac and EAC. I wonder if "android" cannot read ID/tag on flac files?

At the moment I use froidvillain 1.4.3


Thanks, Mikos.

wow all failing, and i assume programs in windows are reading the id tags correctly?

probably just not a supported feature of the apps, flac always gets left behind :(

well in the category (unknown) they seem to be in right order according to their respective albums. It´s not like all the songs are mixed together.

But yes, I hope something can be done. At least it´s great to be able to play flac files. :)

Yes, programs in windows are reading the id tags correctly.

The solution

Yes! I found a great tool to deal with this issue. Its name is:

" 'Extended media scanner' - A scanner to scan FLAC or cue sheet music files into Android's database."

Thanks everyone! :D
