The game doesn't seem to be recognizing my flac files even even though it says flac is enabled. MP3 does work as the mp3 versions appear if I add my transcode directory to the search path. I haven't yet checked if other non-mp3 files are being recognized. Any ideas?

Hey! Do you mean the FLAC tags or the files themselves? Are they on a Mac HFS drive?

Thanks for the response.

I did some more digging, and it looks like the flac tags are not being recognized and/or are being read incorrectly (some were under <unknown>, some were single tracks under a nonsensical numerical album). I've attached a screenshot showing the tags for a song (these are all songs I ripped/encoded/tagged myself).

All of my music (including the mp3 files, which are read correctly) is on a mapped network drive (samba share, ext4).

Edit:
Tags are generated by mp3tag.

Hey!

For your FLAC files, are they vorbis tagged? I think that's what we support. Also, right now there is a bug (I just made a fix attempt with a beta on Steam) where the tags need to be capital letters right now (stupid bug).

Ah, I THINK we support network drives, but you might run into issues... we can't promise the game will work if your network connection dies... in fact, that would return an error in our song scanning...

I don't know how to check if they're vorbis tagged, but when I checked the tags with metaflac they do contain lower-case letters. So, that may be the issue. If the next patch fixes this, I'll mark the subject as solved.

The network drive is on my home gigabit LAN, so I'm not too worried about it going down.
