Fingerprinting FLAC files?

Hello,

Are there any plans to implement fingerprinting for FLAC files?

Thanks!

Isn't it that FLAC files contain no tags?

Copping Flac

Flacs have tags so do ogg files. Will lastfm support ogg and flac scrobbling? Many bought downloads now are in flac andogg os very common.

FLAC files use Vorbis comments for tagging - so the possibilities to use custom tags are virtually limitless.

FLAC scrobbling works fine when playing the files in players like Foobar, Winamp, Windows Media Player (with a free FLAC plugin) and using the Last.fm cilent (with the corresponding plugins installed) to do the Scrobbling. However FLAC fingerprinting is not implemented yet - for each FLAC I play (and I only play FLAC files) I see a message in the Last.fm client log stating that fingerprinting will be skipped because it is only implemented for MP3 files.

So I was wondering if this feature will be implemented for FLAC any time soon...

As mentioned, you can scrobble these files already. All the client does is take the metadata that it's fed by your media player. If you media player can read the metadata properly, you can scrobble it.

I can't say when, but the idea is definitely there for us to implement fingerprinting for other file formats in the future.
