Description

« Hide

Currently, Picard stores the language of the text representation in the tags. It would be far more useful to store the language of the lyrics instead (now that we can). The old behavior is even wrong according to e.g. the ID3 standard:
"The 'Language' frame should contain the languages of the text or lyrics spoken or sung in the audio."

So where is the language of the text representation now stored then, or have you just dropped saving this data ?

Yes, it is not saved by default. However, users can do that by something like:

$set(language,%_releaselanguage%)

(or any custom tag)
