How to show "Encoded By" TAG info in MC?
« on: March 25, 2006, 06:29:57 pm »

Is there any way how to persuade MC to show the information from the TAG "Encoded By" (TENC)?

A full tag dump is shown in Action Window > File Properties > File Type Info

Well after the encoding process - yes (I use LAME in Exact Audio Copy for MP3). But after proceeding "Remove Tags" and "Update tags (from Library)", the information (TENC) is not visible anymore (in the File Type Info window).
BUT when taking a look at such file in dBpowerAMP, the information is obviously still there...

Remove Tags removes the tags.  No ID3v2 information will remain.

You may have better luck ripping with MC.  It's more secure and has LAME support.

Well if the TAG is being removed, how is it possible that the information about being encoded with LAME is still present?

And thanks but I am fine wit ripping in EAC  8)  Nevertheless I sometimes do encode in MC (but using LAME 3.93)

LAME writes a custom header (which MC supports for gapless playback).  It is not related to TENC.

I see... My fault. dBpowerAMP actually shows "Encoded by" twice:
1) "Encoded By" (LAME 3.93)
2) "Encoded by" (Exact Audio Copy) - this is TENC I suppose
Once the TAG is being removed, TENC is gone. Understood.
Is there any way to make MC show the information "LAME 3.93"? MC only shows "MPEG-1 Layer 3" and bitrate (in File Type Info)
