Hi,
I had an idea, but I'm not sure how difficult it is to work it out.
The idea: Mc12 knows the tags, even if it doesn't support it like aac, tak, shn, optimfrog...etc. because the Directshow filter handles it. Would it be possible for conversions to aac to modify the command line parameter that it handles two programmes? So mp3 to aac... decoding to wav, encoding to aac and then start tag.exe from http://www.synthetic-soul.co.uk/tag/ (http://www.synthetic-soul.co.uk/tag/)(source code available and LGPL right) to copy tags from the mp3 to aac and you have a fully converted .mp4, etc. That would be cool. Is this possible? A equal system is used for Foobar etc.

Don't see why it isn't possible if you call a script that does all you mentoned.
Right click in MC->Send To->Send To (external)-><your script name here>
-
Small correction, license is LGPL.
Looks like quite a cool tool.

upps yeah thx Mr. Chriz
to hit_ny:
yeah it would be cool if it would work out but when I mark hundred files it opens hundred times this process and that doesn't work out.
I wouldn't request if I would have an other solution.

There is a little trick to use here with the batch script, but it only will work if
- all the files are in the *same* directory. Is this the case ?
- tag.exe can process all files in a dir given *only* the path name.
..you select one of the files in the directory then call your script and it processes all files in that dir. One instance, but all files in the dir get processed. In the batch file
"<path to tag.exe>" tag.exe "%~dp1" %~dp1 expands %1 to a drive letter and path
%1 being the filename of the file selected in MC
..otherwise that's the best you can get atm.

Thx I try it.
But however it would be a cool feature to connect the tagging process with an external encoder...so the range of supported codecs would increase dramatically.

Unfortunately it does not seem to support m4a files, only id3 tags on raw aac files.
I use mp4tools in combination with a batch file which I call from mc's send to command to achieve basically the same thing...which is sufficient for me since the other formats are supported natively anyway.

sry .... maybe the main idea wasn't that clear. thr request itself wasn't to inbound tag.exe.
The idea is to have the possibility to connect two processes.
Like:
neroaac.exe -q0.4 -in - out && tag.exe -artist -album, etc.
that would work out with every programm. Like in foobar where you can add programm queues
