Public bug reported:
I have many .ogg music files with valid metadata, but the metadata does not
appear in the Clementine "Library" nor playlist queue display. ie. the
following file:
{{{
$ ogginfo 02-Sisters_of_Mercy.ogg
Processing file "02-Sisters_of_Mercy.ogg"...
New logical stream (#1, serial: 00007da8): type vorbis
Vorbis headers parsed for stream 1, information follows...
Version: 0
Vendor: Xiphophorus libVorbis I 20011231 (1.0 rc3)
Channels: 2
Rate: 44100
Nominal bitrate: 160.032000 kb/s
Upper bitrate: 4294967.295000 kb/s
Lower bitrate: 4294967.295000 kb/s
User comments section follows...
ALBUM=The Best of Leonard Cohen
ARTIST=Leonard Cohen

GENRE=Folk
TITLE=Sisters of Mercy
TRACKNUMBER=02
Vorbis stream 1:
Total data length: 4293559 bytes
Playback length: 3m:36.106s
Average bitrate: 158.942214 kb/s
Logical stream 1 ended
}}}
... appears in the "Unknown" part of the Library feature, and when
queued appears with title "02-Sisters_of_Mercy.ogg" and length "3:36"
but no Artist nor Album.
If I use Clementine's tool for editing information, and make an inconsequential
change, I see that Clementine adds a new tag:
{{{
$ vorbiscomment -l 02-Sisters_of_Mercy.ogg
ALBUM=The Best of Leonard Cohen
ARTIST=Leonard Cohen
COMPILATION=0
DATE=1975
GENRE=Folk
TITLE=Sisters of Mercy
TRACKNUMBER=2
}}}
If I use `vorbiscomment -a -t "COMPILATION=0"` to change other ogg
vorbis files, the "Library" and playlist in Clementine updates and
populates the UI with the metadata.
According to the Vorbis Comment spec, "COMPILATION" is not a required field, so
I feel Clementine should not refuse to process the other valid metadata if this
tag is absent.

Workaround: write a bashscript to add the superfluous "COMPILATION=0" tag to
all my *.ogg files.
