Error at WAV files
Hello everone!
As preamble, see this issue gnome-music#490 (closed)
So, the problem begins when gnome-music didn't show the WAV files, even if they are present in the Music
folder.
Then we think to convert all wav files to flac, but this question urged:
But if a newbie began to use this [gnome-music] program, they can be upset, no?
So, we go diggind this issue and found out that tracker through an error at this files.
Please, see the discussion under:
looks like wav files are not indexed or are not showing up in gnome music for me either
oh, that's fun. tracker says "Extraction failed for this file. Some metadata will be missing. Error message: Crash/hang handling file" on my wav file. it does have some info loaded, but does not indicate that it's an audio file.
Well, I get some from this command `gsettings list-recursively | grep -i tracker`
I found something: https://gnome.pages.gitlab.gnome.org/tracker/faq/

Also, "At present, Tracker simply reads the metadata stores in your music files (often called 'tags')."
running tracker-extract with debug output on the wav file for me shows that it did correctly guess the mime type, and selected the gstreamer extractor, but it's not printing out any info :/
Tracker simply reads the metadata stores in your music files
Is there something we can do about tracker read more than metadata, because WAV files (and others) do NOT have metadata?
Thanks in advance!
