Hello, trying to load a cover in the tag but even though yate tells me all the files are tagged with the cover, Finder and iTunes tells me only files 2, 3, 4, 7 are properly tagged. Any idea ? Thx

I thought of something else. As these files are mp3s it is possible that they have leading padding before the start of the audio stream. Leading padding while rare, does sometimes occur when capturing a stream or when .... some other application messes up the file. Some applications gets messed up when playing the file, others simply when looking for the metadata. Yate does not care as it always looks for the start of the audio stream.

You can easily test for this by selecting a single problematic file and looking at the Audio Properties panel. (under the main window's File Browser or on the Audio editing panel).

If the properties panel has a "Leading Pad" entry, this may be the problem. If so, you can get Yate to fix the issue by creating a one line action. Place a Save statement in the action configured as in the attached image. Select the files then run the action.

I've just seen the log and the fix is easy. The file contains ID3v2.2 tags inside of a ID3v2.4 container. If Yate had read a v2.2 based file it would have automatically corrected the tags. As it is, Yate more than likely initially read a v2.3 or v2.4 container already containing the bad frames and ignored them. In this case the frames are improperly placed items more than likely done a long time ago. You can fix the issue by removing the "Unhandled Frames" and rewriting the files.

Unhandled frames are not necessarily an error which is why Yate ignores them. In fact Yate will preserve them in case they are specific to a particular application.

Load the files in Yate, select them all and display the Unhanded editing panel. (Right click on any editing panel header and Unhandled will be in the list or on the Others menu.)

Select everything in Unhandled and delete the items. Save the files. I cannot tell from the log, how the frames are 'actually' encoded. If there are no records on the Unhanded" panel, then Yate has decided that they are bad and serve no purpose. In this case simply force a save of the files by File>Save Selected Files>Save Always

This can also be done in an action as follows:

Clear the Unhandled Frames field
Save all files if modified

iTunes and the Finder do not like the unhanded frames and they precede the artwork in the file. Mote than likely they stop reading as soon as they hit the first

It worked. Thank you very much.
