Thanks for the replies.
The .APE tags from EAC all work fine.
As to looking at the MPC encoder settings, I am not sure how to do this.
plugin manager ... encoder ... MPEGplus has no user changeable settings on it.
tools ... options ... encoding allows me to choose from a drop down list (I range between standard and insane, depending on the music). The advanced button only goes to a parameter list which repeats the chosen option, ie. ~insane or ~standard.
The Naivesoftware site is down for overhaul.
The site that plug-in manager points to suggests in the FAQs that MPC supports IDv1 tags, but does not suport IDv2 tags, and may support APE tags in the future. I am not sure when this was written, or whether it applies to the 'Micahel Rhoades' encoder used by MJ.
I cannot see anywhere in MJ to specify between the two tag formats (I seem to remember that it was there once though).
When looking at the format properties of some of my mpc files, they are showing "tag type: none"
After I analyze the replay gain, they show "tag type: ID3 1.1"
This (presumably) appends a tag with the replay gain data attached. This seems to work, but it does not copy the custom data (I presume this is a limitation of ID3 1.1). I will now have to analyze everything
and copy them across again.
1. How can I turn tags on the MPC file encoder?
2. How can I check to see what is actually tagged onto a file (as separate to what is in the library)
Many Thanks,
Pinner.
PS. your plugins page shows the latest mpc encoder to be 2.06
This dowbloads OK (according to the messages), but still reports itself as being 2.05 (even after a restart).
Is this an error on the plugin website page, or an error with the plugin itself, or just me again?
