Export to MP3
How do you get the Musescore properties like composer, title, lyricist, arranger...etc copied to the MP3 file produced. It is not done automatically? I have to use other software to do this. TIA.

I've wanted this for several years.
Me too and same for PDF and other formats, but unfortunatly the 3rd party libraries MuseScore uses for those exports (Qt, lame, and some more) don't seem to support this

Well, what can i say but (paraphrasing a semi-noted remark of my own), "They don't call it LAME for nothing!" That's too damned bad.

It's really a shame that one has to use another software because Musescore can't do this vital function. Wonder why?

Jojo told you why. MuseScore uses the LAME MP3 encoder, which is a major piece of functionality that MuseScore doesn't have to duplicate and maintain, and, unfortunately, it doesn't provide access to those metadata fields. No one is saying it's great or the way it should be.

hmm.. I do wonder how Audacity handles this, as it also uses LAME afaik.

This argument has the ring of indisputable truth --- I use Audacity to place the metadata that MS doesn't!

Very interesting. Thanks for the info. I also use Audacity to fix this Musescore short coming. We could ask the developer why.

It's open source as well. So all that is needed is to inspect their code and see if the same approach could be valid for MuseScore.

Cool .. Any coders out there that can help fix this short coming?

My first look at https://github.com/audacity/audacity/blob/master/src/export/ExportMP3.c… suggest that it uses the ID3 tag system to do it ex post facto.

Thanks for the link but you lost me, my friend. I'm not a coder. Are you saying Audacity is implementing it differently from MS?

He was telling any programmers who might read this what he found so one of them might implement this in the same way.

Cool.. thanks for the clarification. There is hope we will get this fix :)
