Title: Files Burnt To Data CD Missing Tags/Metadata
Post by: winterminute on March 24, 2007, 03:38:19 am
I just burned my first CD with MC and everything went pretty well, except that the files on disc have no metadata associated with them.  MC correctly shows all the data and I don't see any options for stripping metadata before writing it to disc.

Did I miss something?

Metadata may not be stored in the files, depending on how your options are set. 

You can correct this by using MC's Library Tools (under File) and doing "Update tags from Libary".  Try a few before you do very many.

That's not it.  I checked the same file (on CD and on disc) and one has metadata and one doesn't.  Any other ideas?

Umm.  You are burning an encoded file type (data cd) not an audio cd, right?  Which format are you using?

Yes.  A data CD.  I'm not sure what you mean by format, but I think the answer is ISO 9660.

No, sorry, I meant which format is the encoded file in (mp3, flac, ape, etc.) ?

A mix of MP3/WMA.  I told MC to not convert since my library only contains those options.

In data mode burning, files are simply copied byte for byte. There is no stripping of meta-data. You can verify this by doing a file compare between the one on CD and the one on your hard drive using the "comp" program in a command window.
