A followup-

With the Sweet Georgia Brown track as an example, here's what the VORBIS_COMMENT metadata block contains

Code:

METADATA block #2
 type: 4 (VORBIS_COMMENT)
 is last: false
 length: 243
 vendor string: reference libFLAC 1.3.2 20170101
 comments: 9
   comment[0]: TITLE=Sweet Georgia Brown
   comment[1]: TOTALDISCS=1
   comment[2]: TOTALTRACKS=24
   comment[3]: DISCNUMBER=1
   comment[4]: ARTIST=Benny Goodman
   comment[5]: ALBUM=The Complete 1947 - 1949 Small Group Sessions
   comment[6]: GENRE=Jazz
   comment[7]: DATE=1995
   comment[8]: TRACKNUMBER=01
METADATA block #3
 type: 6 (PICTURE)
 is last: false
 length: 277162
 type: 3 (Cover (front))
 MIME type: image/jpeg
 description:
 width: 1000
 height: 1000
 depth: 24
 colors: 0 (unindexed)
 data length: 277120
 data:
   00000000: FF D8 FF E0 00 10 4A 46 49 46 00 01 01 01 00 60 ......JFIF.....`
...

At a glance, this looks good, so getting rid of the ID3v2 nonsense should suffice.

I bow to the master of flacmeta :-)

What command are u using?

Master? Nah. Just a guy who's spent a lot of time in the trenches:-)

Have a look at flac , which checks validity of FLAC encoded file, and metaflac, which allows viewing and manipulating the metadata of one.

Examples:

Code:

rho@m915blue:/mnt/SDCARD/Studio_Sessions $ flac '01 Sweet Georgia Brown.flac'

flac 1.4.2

ERROR: input file 01 Sweet Georgia Brown.flac has an ID3v2 tag

and

Code:

rho@m915blue:/mnt/SDCARD/Studio_Sessions $ metaflac --list --block-type=VORBIS_COMMENT,PICTURE '01 Sweet Georgia Brown.flac'
