This bug has already been mentioned here, years ago:
https://forum.chaosforge.org/index.php/topic,7188.0.htmlI had this issue on Linux too. I fixed it by running the following script, which strips all the metadata and cover art from the mp3s:
#!/bin/bash
mkdir -p mp3_fixed
for f in mp3/*.mp3; do
ffmpeg -i $f -vn -codec:a copy -map_metadata -1 "mp3_fixed/$(basename $f)"
done
Then configure the
musichq.lua file to point to the newly created directory with the fixed mp3s:
-- High quality remixes of the original Doom music are a courtesy of Sonic
-- Clang ( http://sonicclang.ringdev.com/ ) used with permission.
-- Doom the Roguelike theme, Unholy Cathedral, Final Showdown, Hells
-- Weapons, Something Wicked, Of Skull And Bone, The Brick Song, and
-- Too Hot Down Here tracks composed by Simon Volpert (thanks!)
