m4a (ALAC) questions

<< < (2/3) > >>

Peter_T:
just wondering... is ALAC support coming in the future?  I'm guessing no... but I'd love for someone to tell me I'm wrong.

Thanks!

Yaobing:
Download DC-Bass Source filter.  MC plays ALAC m4a when this filter is installed.  Read wiki on Mp4 and m4a for more details.

Tag writing to mp4 will come in the future.

How far into the future are we talking about?

Because I have an iPhone and a lossless library (FLAC), I've had to live with the cobbled solution that others use - MC to transcode to MP3 and iTunes to load media on the iPhone.  Now that iTunes finally supports transcoding high bitrate files on the fly to AAC (http://forums.applenova.com/showthread.php?t=34339), I'm ready to ditch my MP3 shadow library and allow iTunes to see the lossless files in my main library.  Of course, iTunes doesn't support FLAC so I would need to switch to ALAC, but MC doesn't support ALAC.  I could just use iTunes for everything, but I really prefer MC for my library management.

Also, with tag writing will we get embeded artwork and lyric support?  Please?

dcpoppy:
Perhaps this would get a reply in the MC 15 forum since dev is complete in 14?
