Bug Description

When running `dir2ogg -tr` on a directory, the resulting ogg files will sometimes have tags/values which are from different mp3 files.

I just executed the command above (plus --delete-input) on a directory with multiple subdirs and many mp3s from different artists/albums, of which not all where tagged entirely. Some directories contained files of multiple artists/albums. I ended up with a collection of ogg files of which many had wrong values for their tags, e.g. an album name of a completely different artist.

To me, it seems like empty tags will be overwritten with the value of the previously processed file. I read the manpage and the readme but I did not find any notice that points out this kind of behaviour.

The patch solved the issue that some tags got wrong values. But I noticed that some tags which are present in the mp3 will be missing in the ogg (most noticeably the tracknumber). This happens with the unpatched version also.

Sorry for replying 6 months too late, but the email seems to got lost. And yes track numbers are not implemented, I don't know why. I will fix it this week.

I just discovered dir2ogg (since mp32ogg is not supported anymore in Ubuntu Lucid) I plan to use it on a regular basis on a server.

I found a bug regarding "tags". Converting mp3 to ogg removes the "Comments" tag and create a Tracknumber ("114" in the example I did)

Hope it can be solved,
thanks for the good job

if it helps :
- the original comment (set with 'mp3info -c') was an url (including "http://..."), in case "://" are guilty there
- I tried changing the original comment to a simple word, then the output of dir2ogg still doesn't contain any comment and no werid Tracknumber field created
