Split from Bug 51 for greater visibilty. As of end December 2013, "Support lyrics and album art in metadata tags" has 28 votes on Feature Requests.

Comment 1 Peter Sampson 2018-06-09 09:59:52 UTC

As of 09Jun18 it now has 57 votes on Feature Request (placing it in the "Top 10")

Comment 2 Peter Sampson 2020-06-14 10:09:16 UTC

Demoting this to P4 as we know we have a generic and much broader problem with our poor handling of metadata.

There is no proper release note provided by Gale either

Comment 3 Peter Sampson 2020-06-14 10:18:36 UTC

See this proposal:  https://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/Proposal_Metadata_Options

Comment 4 Steve Daulton 2020-11-28 10:16:39 UTC

We are still receiving complaints about this bug (7 years later).

Comment 5 Peter Sampson 2021-02-09 16:49:37 UTC

restoring this to P3 - it should be release-noted - and we get Forum complaints about this

Comment 6 Peter Sampson 2021-08-19 10:15:57 UTC

upping this to P2 as it involves data loss

Comment 7 Peter Sampson 2021-08-19 11:12:06 UTC

I have transferred this bug to GitHub as the primary bug log for Muse - as it really deserves some attention
