package listen tags 422240 unreproducible thanks Le vendredi 04 mai 2007 à 15:25 +0200, Marius Mikucionis a écrit : > Package: listen > Version: 0.5-1 > Severity: important > > I consider the editing of ID3 meta information of mp3 files as > essential feature of listen hence severity important. mmh I don't really agree with this severity but leave it for now. the important severity is meant for bugs with major impact on the utility of a package - listen is a music player, ID3 editing is just an extra feature.

Are the files you try to edit in the music library? Can you please provide an example of ID3 data of these files? Does this also happen with ogg files (or others)? > This window is so small that only two files names fit in it and > it is not resizable and very awkward to scroll. OK, this is clearly an issue I will report to upstream author.

That is why I have chosen to upload it to experimental for the moment. This allows the package to be tested by volunteers and thus helps improving the upstream application. Cheers, Julien
