Well, according to
this post, one of the reasons I've been hearing pops and clicks with my SACD tracks, is because the
sacd_extract tool does not properly extract tracks individually to DSF.
So I have started the arduous process of re-ripping affected discs, intending on keeping them as ISO now, even though they're a pain to deal with.
However, I don't want to lose all my metadata changes.
Is it "safe" in Media Center if I simply use the
Rename, Move, & Copy Files… tool to update the filenames to point to the ISO instead, and change the file type?
It needs a little work, as Media Center uses:
\filename.iso;track to identify tracks within the ISO, and I need to restart MC to update certain file properties such as the duration. (which seems to differ between the ISO and the extracted tracks)
So far I've tried it with one album, and it
seemed to work OK, though the track names were replaced with the ones in the SACD metadata instead of the fixed names, but that's not a big deal. It's all my other customizations like custom tags, keywords, ratings etc. that I don't want to lose.
Is this safe to do, or should I simply import the ISO fresh, and re-tag everything?
Is there a way to copy and paste all the metadata from the DSF files straight into the ISO ones?
