m4p tag changes will not hold
« on: June 26, 2004, 11:09:20 am »

I use MC to make various tag changes to my music files. This works great on .mp3 clips, but not with Apple's AAC .m4p files. The changes render okay on MC's views, but in the event I reimport the files to MC, the changed tag info is gone and the cliips revert back to their original state. Help?

duesy,

MC is unable to write the tag info into AAC files. When you make changes to the tags, those changes are part of the MC library, but cannot be written to the file.


Check out this thread for some additional ideas on this....

Is there a tag editor available for modifying AAC clips at the file level?

Tag&Rename most definitely works with AAC files, and also supports several fields not found in iTunes.  I give T&R my highest rating.  ;D

They also offer a new FREE app called AudioShell that supports all files and tag standards that Tag&Rename does. ;D
