Thanks for the testing. I'm only looking at a Windows build from 12 days ago of course, but importing FLAC tags back into Audacity works perfectly.

Thanks. The VLC version I tested before which couldn't read Audacity 1.3.4's MP3 tags was only a few months old, but I grabbed the latest version (0.8.6d). It can see MP3 tags from the Audacity build I mentioned. It can't see Audacity FLAC tags but as you say that's not a regression on 1.2.6. Gale |
