Hello all, it seems that SoX cannot read a "Comment" ID3 tag in an MP3 file, even though it can create one. Is this a known issue? ## test Comment tag $ id3 -l test1.mp3 test1.mp3: No ID3 tag $ sox test1.mp3 --comment Comment=foobar test2.mp3 $ id3 -l test2.mp3 test2.mp3: Title : Artist: Album : Year: , Genre: Unknown (255) Comment: foobar Track: 0 $ soxi -a test2.mp3 ## test Comment and Title tags $ sox test1.mp3 --comment Comment=foobar --comment Title=My-Song test3.mp3 $ id3 -l test3.mp3 test3.mp3: Title : My-Song Artist: Album : Year: , Genre: Unknown (255) Comment: foobar Track: 0 $ soxi -a test3.mp3 Title=My-Song $ sox --version sox: SoX v14.4.2 The Comment and Title tags are created as expected, as shown by "id3 -l", but soxi sees only Title. All other tags work fine as well, only Comment is invisible to soxi (or sox --i). What gives? Nicolas
