Some parts of the mp3 chapter's metadata are incomplete

[StructuraIism]

I'm new to this program so I hope this problem isn't caused by me, but here we go :

Audiobook fix-ups config : split the books into multiple files by chapter, strip audible branding, download books as mp3

Sometimes, when downloading a book, the metadata will be messed up. What I've noticed is that the second chapter will be alright and have everything correct. All the others (including the first chapter) will have incomplete metadata

• the date will be incomplete (for example "12" instead of "12-May-2017")
• the chapter title will be incomplete (only in the metadata title, there's no problem concerning the file name) (for example : "3 - Lecture 2: Geography Is De" instead of "3 - Lecture 2: Geography Is Destiny")
• the album title will be incomplete (for example : "Foundations of Western Civiliz" instead of "Foundations of Western Civilization II: A History of the Modern Western World")
• the genre will be "other" instead of what it's supposed to be
• the album artist will be missing
• and the cover art will be missing too

Here are some examples of audiobooks that follow that pattern :

https://www.audible.ca/pd/Foundations-of-Western-Civilization-II-A-History-of-the-Modern-Western-World-Audiobook/B071LCWKGK

https://www.audible.ca/pd/Great-Philosophical-Debates-Free-Will-and-Determinism-Audiobook/B071HS5QSB

https://www.audible.ca/pd/Philosophy-of-Science-Audiobook/B0725MRT5W (this one the album title is fine but it seems to be because it's rather small "Philosophy of Science")

https://www.audible.ca/pd/Europe-and-Western-Civilization-in-the-Modern-Age-Audiobook/B0716VX67B (this one will have these problems seemingly at random and not follow the rule of "chapter 2 is fine, all the other are weirdly incomplete" meaning chapters at random seem to have these problems)

https://www.audible.ca/pd/The-Enlightenment-Invention-of-the-Modern-Self-Audiobook/B071493RFS (this one too)

https://www.audible.ca/pd/The-Modern-Intellectual-Tradition-From-Descartes-to-Derrida-Audiobook/B071F6KTCT (this one too... seems like what I thought was a constant pattern isn't really one)

Hope this isn't due to some bad manoeuvre on my part, but this problem isn't constant and many other audiobooks are perfectly fine...

I'd love to help, but I think I'll need your audio files.

Can you please:

1. Go to Settings > Audio File Settings and check "Retain the aax file after successfully decrypting"
2. Re-download one of the problem books
   2.1 If a book is already marked as "Downloaded within Libation, you'll need to set it to Not Downloaded. Click the "Edit Tags" button in the far-right column of the grid and change the downloaded status to "Not Downloaded"
3. In your downloads folder you'll find two additional files:
   3.1 [BOOK FILE NAME].aax
   3.2 [BOOK FILE NAME].key
4. Upload both of those files to https://wetransfer.com/ and send me the link (mbucari1@gmail.com)

Thanks!

Never mind, I've identified the problem. I'm orking on a fix.

@rmcrackan Upgrading to AAXClean.Codecs v0.2.11 will fix this

The error was inside NAudio.Lame, so I had to make a custom build and nuget package to fix it..

[rmcrackan]

Wow, good find!

[StructuraIism]

Thank you for your work!

[Mbucari]

@rmcrackan I hope you're not waiting on me to do something. I've fixed everything, you just need to update the dependency and publish a new release.

[rmcrackan]

Oh damn, seriously? I watch aaxclean via atom. How did I miss that? Thank you for saying something 😊

[Mbucari]

Np lol

Are you watching AAXClean.Codecs? That was the only package I updated. AAXClean remained unchanged.

That was the problem. I added AAXClean.Codecs to my feed.
