Audio file Overview metadata?

[crusher11 1101]

I have an audio file. It has a filled-out Overview field. There's no NFO with it, and when I view it in Mp3Tag I can't find any sign of the text that's populated the Overview field. Where is that being drawn from and how can I edit it?

This may or may not be your problem, but...

with audio FLAC files at least, the COMMENT tag on an individual song/track will be imported into the Emby Overview field for that song/track only.

I just did a test to double check:

The Comment Field/Tag isn't usually in the default Tag Panel, but you should be able to see it in Mp3tag (if used) with Extended Tags.

If you are using other file formats, then the tag name may be slightly different?

Or, the problem may be something else altogether??? Cheers.

The Comment field has different text entirely. But looking in the Extended Tags, it appears to be using the Synopsis.
