I've been trying to import the lyrics field from an mp3 file into an audio node, so that when published to iTunes as a podcast the metadata is also passed.

Does getID3 allow this? There are setting in the Audio configuration allowing new metadata fields, but it doesnt' seem to be related to GetID3.

This is particularly important for audio, as iPhones and ipod touches now don't seem to pick up the node text, but instead display the lyrics.

thanks

you want to use the tag name "unsynchronised_lyric"

Much appreciated drewish, and apologies for the cheeky posting of this in 2 places.

I'm still having trouble implementing this - where do I use the tag if I'm using it with Audio module? I tried adding a metadata tag at admin/settings/audio/metadata , but I get this error when writing to file:
ID3v2: Skipping "UNSYNCHRONISED_LYRIC" because cannot match it to a known ID3v2 frame type

I'm using Audio Import and currently the only Id3 tags being read are
# Artist
# Title
# Album
# Genre
# Year
# Length:
# Format:

any final pointers would be great

Sadly not fixed, I'm still desperate to write to the lyrics field in getID3. Anyone managed it?
