After I export an MP3 with Audacity, exiftool shows errors in the metadata, and does not show the information I entered in Audacity. I have Audacity v3.1.3 and exivtool v12.42 in Fedora 36 fully updated. For example, the attached mp3 gives me this: IDv2 tag info for uru_SitioVirtuoso-220904-GN10_102035_db13.mp3. hexdump -C shows that the information is inside the mp3 in the first chunk, and I can read the metadata with mutagen mid3v2. The error is: Warning : Invalid ID3 frame size None of the tags I entered with Audacity is shown.

Phil has previously expressed… dislike… of the ID3 standard and problems with writing it. It seemed to have gone away with Audacity 3.02, but I guess it's back. The fact that mid3v2 can extract the data is interesting. Yes, I found that discussion, but it is incomplete and I could not extract any solution from it. Thanks for bringing this to my attention, and for the sample. The problem indeed seems to be with ExifTool - as far as I can tell it isn't handling the extended header properly. It looks like I missed looking into this back in the spring. It looks like I dropped the ball on this one. The whole community appreciate that deeply.


Thanks a lot to you, Phil, for your quick answer and spectacular work. What if I really wanted them to be sideways or upside down!?) They also automatically appear correctly when opened with VLC.

Mysteriously, they all appear upright when opened on a Windows 10 machine. Some of my videos are sideways (portrait) and some are upsidedown when viewed on Windows 7 laptop or on Roku TV or other TV's that play videos directly from USB. My rotated video was created on an Android phone. 2020 topic started by "beernoo" and have found new difficulties.
