When WMA files are converted to MP3, the MP3 files end up wth blank tags. I've attached an WMA file and the MP3 file which pacpl converted using this command-line:

find /home/paulo/stage/cd/Natalie\ Dessay\ -\ Bach\ -\ Cantatas/ -print0 | xargs -0 pacpl -t mp3

with these config options changed in ~/.pacpl:

DEFOPTS = 0
EOPTS = --preset extreme --noreplaygain --id3v2-only

    Some digging into the man page for Audio::Scan, this web page about ASF tags, scanning some WMA files, and I managed to fix this: the tag names were wrong. I've attached a patch.

    As mention in one of your previous bug reports this is an ASF file not WMA hence why the tags aren't being copied.

    Your code is wrong, it needs fixing: my patch will handle it. The least you could do is to look at the patch: I took time and trouble to debug the issue and fix it.
