Bug Description

nautilus-script-audio-convert is missing a dependency of the libid3-3.8.3-dev package.

The program uses id3tag and id3info which are in the libid3-3.8.3-dev package but this isn't a dependency.

Without these programs is unable to read or write id3 tag in mp3 files.

Hi WhilelM,

if a bug is assigned, that means that someone has in fact started working on a fix. Also, please don't assign bugs to teams, as then every member of the team gets an email (which is quite a bit). (the better choice is to subscribe a team. IIRC then the bug contact address of the team is used - but no guarantee on this).

Hence I'm unassigning this bug again,
    Stefan.

id3tag works, as of Xubuntu 8.10.

But to get the metadata from ogg, you must change

314 artist_name=`ogginfo "$1" | grep artist | cut -d \= -f 2`
315 album_name=`ogginfo "$1" | grep album | cut -d \= -f 2`
316 song_name=`ogginfo "$1" | grep title | cut -d \= -f 2`
317 track_number=`ogginfo "$1" | grep tracknumber | cut -d \= -f 2`

to

314 artist_name=`ogginfo "$1" | grep ARTIST | cut -d \= -f 2`
315 album_name=`ogginfo "$1" | grep " ALBUM" | cut -d \= -f 2`
316 song_name=`ogginfo "$1" | grep TITLE | cut -d \= -f 2`
317 track_number=`ogginfo "$1" | grep TRACKNUMBER | cut -d \= -f 2`

where line 315 must have a tab preceding ALBUM. (Otherwise it grabs a bunch of replaygain data, too.)
