Metadata support is ridiculously awful in [Matroska, OGM, FLAC, OGG], in amounts increasing in that order. If you want metadata to work consistently, use a MP4

Metadata support is ridiculously awful in [Matroska, OGM, FLAC, OGG], in amounts increasing in that order.
If you want metadata to work consistently, use a MP4 / QT container. If you want alternate tracks (for subtitles and audio) to work consistently, use Matroska.

- jimmyjim 17y agoThe one-package container deal to pack it all sounds very interesting and nice. Could you perhaps have the lyrics be in a Matroska audio container? I think there's lots of potential for file browsers that can work off on metadata enclosed in containers. I really hope these catch on.
