Hi, just ran Batch Converter over a series of Wav files with an embedded ID3 tag and converted to Flac. It has done a great job of converting the audio and standard fields like album, artist ectera but there is a problem with the TXXX fields. BatchConverter has converted these so they exist in the Flac tag however the problem is that the conversion just uses the same value rather than mapping to the correct equivalent Flac name for the field.
So for example MusicBrainz Picard and other MusicBrainz and my own compatible applications such as Jaikoz and SongKong store the MusicBrainz Release Id in a TXXX frame with the description MusicBrainz Album Id when using ID3 but when tagging a Flac file they use MUSICBRAINZ_ALBUMARTISTID, but BatchConverter just creates a field called MusicBrainz Album Id which is not recognized by any MusicBrainz compatible tagger.
The upshot being that if I convert a set of files with BatchConverter I have to rematch them all again.
I'm not entirely sure why different field names were used for TXXX/Flac but I think it was to try and abide by existing naming conventions, but these fieldnames are clearly defined in the link below and have been used for a long time so would it be possible to support these conversions in DbPoweramp ?
