Title: Creating tags on aac export
Post by: bwa on May 08, 2009, 04:25:01 pm

I converting my FLAC files with MC 13.0.166 to AAC with NERO AAC encoder (using external encoding). I seems like the ID3 tags are lost when converting... Is there a way co get the tags into the new aac file.

And BTW, it's a bug when converting. The files is renamed to .dat after the convert is done. .aac is specified i the options.

Media Center has limited AAC tagging support.

This will be fixed in a coming build.

Great Matt.

I'm using NERO AAC Encoder, Is that the only way to create AAC files with MC 13 ?

It there planned support for internally AAC encoder ?

MC could use Neroaactag.exe to tag aacss:

Cited from Hydrogenaudio:

User-defined Encoder:
Program used: C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe

additional commands:
/c ""C:\path\to\neroaacenc.exe" -q 0.425 -if %s -of %d && "C:\path\to\Neroaactag.exe" %d -meta:artist="%a" -meta:album="%g" -meta:track="%n" -meta:title="%t" -meta:genre="%m" -meta:year="%y""

To work with media center we change %s to %IN and %d to %OUT, but it seems that we need metadatata switches like %a, %g, etc.

also the command "-add-cover:<type>:<jpegfile>" can be used to set cover art in the aac file, eg. -add-cover:front:folder.jpg

OR developers could add nero aac encoder into mc13 with little gui like the lame one, what do you say??

Yes, we want AAC support in MC13 ... 8)

I far as I have found, 320 kb AAC is better than 320 kb MP3. But what about WMA ? Better or worse than mp3 320 kb ?

EDIT: Using dbpoweramp to convert files using nero aac and the tags are writted correctly, how to use that feature from MC13?

as far as i can go:

EXE path: "C:\Program Files\Illustrate\dBpoweramp\CoreConverter.exe"
Parameters: -infile=%IN -outfile=%OUT -convert_to="m4a Nero (AAC)" -q .45

but dont know if exist commands to directly tag the file as dbpoweramp does when coding from it.
