I transcode from mp3 to ogg. Original file's tags: Track: 03 Title: Third Movement Artist: Glenn Branca Album: The World Upside Down Year: 1990 And in resulting .ogg I get: Title: 03 Third Movement Artist: Glenn Branca Album: 1990, The World Upside Down What is the rationale behind this behavior? Compatibility reasons? (as far as I know ogg comments are not well standardized) I didn't tried conversions from and to other formats though..

I'd like to point you out on another interesting tool with the same purpose as of mp3togo: audconvert (http://www.linuxhardware.org/article.pl?sid=06/03/10/2043224). It is not as flexible and configurable as mp3togo, but has a nice gui, is very easy to use and can transcode using multiple processing threads.

Unfortunately it hadn't solve my problem. Sorry, I didn't noticed it at first - my problem is not in the handling of 'year' and 'track' tags. Tags for resulting ogg's are taken from filenames and directory structure (look at examples given at the beginning and notice the difference in 'title' for example). Here comes the diff (sorry if it's not a standard patch format - I have never tried to make patches before :) ): +++ 97c97 < if self._type == 'mp3': --- > if self._type == 'mp3' and HAVE_ID3: +++ I have no ID3 installed and so the whole branch for reading mp3's tags (including needed eyeD3 sub-branch) were passed and then tags were guessed from filenames. After this small fix tagging works as expected. I think it would be nice if the user would get noticed of the fact that tags were not found in original files and mp3togo tries to guess them from directory structure.

The actual bug was a failure to use eyeD3 in the absence of ID3. This problem is now fixed in 0.5.12 Additionally, Konstantin suggests that mp3togo should produce a warning when guessing missing tags. It now does this and the guessing can now also be disabled with the --no-guessing-tags switch. Thanks, -- sim
