      I transcoded a bunch FLAC songs to AAC (mp4) in my Linux Strawberry collection so I could copy them to an external hard drive and then to my Mac laptop to sync to my iPhone with iTunes.

      Weirdly, I don't see the mp4 songs in my Strawberry Library. I did a full rescan and also rebooted to no avail.

      The mp4 files are in my Music directory so it won't affect my syncing plan, but I'm wondering why Strawberry doesn't see them.

        @mrbluebudo Apparently, the mp4 songs were in my library but they had no tags so they didn't show up anywhere, at least not in the artist/album collections.

        So now the question is: why were there no tags after I transcoded the songs?

          @mrbluebudo Is this possibly related to the inline editing issue discussed here? https://forum.strawberrymusicplayer.org/topic/815/inline-tags-editing-flac-seeking-bugged?_=1682352478856

            I'm aware of it, it's a known issue, MP4 does not get tagged by the transcoder.
