So I will have to check if JRiver is not writing the tags to the .MKA files?
Can you check the tags with MediaInfo to see if they all show up their?

It seems that the tags are not being written to the .mka files in jriver.
JRiver folks, can you please check that?

I have used MKVToolnix to convert my Rush Signals 40th to .MKA files. But I had to add each track 1 by 1 and then create a new job for each track.
Do you know if there is a way to drop multiple songs onto MKVToolnix input and them have them output individual .MKA files without having to create a batch file by file?
Also I thought I read it here somewhere but I can't find it now. I used DVD Audio Extractor to create the .thd files from the original disc. Took about an hour but it gave me the RAW .thd files to work with. Can't believe I have had that program for about 10 years and only now found out it could do that lol. (I am sure it was added sometime in the meantime but I have no idea when).

Check out Music Media Helper - it'll rip the Atmos track into individual files (MKA, M4A, etc) from an MKV. Has tagging support as well. Still a bit buggy in some areas (mostly UI) but it works well.

with various tips from here and other places I have found a method that seems to work quite well. I use DVD-Audio extractor which I have had for many years.
for an actual disc I use the "Direct Stream Demux" option. This gives me the tracks with ".thd" extension. Then I just change the file extension to ".mka" and that seems to work just fine.
If I have only a BMDV Folder as I do for some. I use "Daemon Tools Ultra" which I have also had for years and create a custom .ISO file. Then Mount the .ISO file and use the DVD-Audio Extractor as described above.
Both of these programs I purchased "Lifetime" licenses for years ago. It's nice to see apps with "Lifetime" long term licenses that still get updated regularly.
I would still like to see tags work for the .MKA files. I am not sure if it is a limitation of JRiver or the .MKA file type. But tags are not written to the files. They do not even show basic info like "Track Length" for some reason?

you can use MKVToolsNix to add a Tag file (XML format if I recall) - the MKA container supports it. What JRiver would do with those tags I am not sure.
I also have DVDAE - same as you, used it for years for a lot of MLP authored discs. Changing the .thd extension to .mka I don't think really produces an MKA file. You will know I think it you try to open it in mkvtoolsnix.
In any case, the gaps in playback make this not a great solution. Too much of my music has tracks that flow one into another.
BTW - just saw Porcupine Tree in Manchester - another fine show! Although was odd as the bassist was sick and so that part was pre-recorded. Must have made timing by the other members pretty challenging live
