Copy extra files using Batch Convert

[Benji99]

Hey guys,

With most of my music, along with my FLAC tracks, I have a cover.jpg and support.zip (which has extra covers, logs, sfv, etc...)

I was wondering if it's possible to have the Batch converter copy those files after having converted the tracks to the destination directory.

Is there a DSP for this?
Thanks!

There is no dsp to do this.

Hi Spoon,

I think I just discovered a bug in the tags while converting files.
dMC will preserve all tags except for non-standard multi-value tags.

For exampled, multi-value tags such as STYLE, or COMPOSER are fully preserved, but I have a multi-value tag called CREDITS. dMC only preserved the first instance and wiped all the other ones out :( All my other non-standard tags are single-value and seem to have been preserved fine.

Can you confirm this bug, and any chance this could be fixed?
I'm very dissapointed that this doesn't work, I purchased the reference precisely for the batchconverter, and now I have to wait for this to be fixed before I can do the rest.

Thanks in advance!

Converting which format to which format?

From FLAC to FLAC
I was recompressing to a newer encoder using the maximum compression.
I've noticed the same problem with other non-standard tags that I use which have multi-values such as ARTIST2 and ALBUM_TYPE

Now I will be forced to re-tag all my files properly since I didn't notice this behavior before I deleted the source files...

Furthermore, a lot of my files came up with errors that said this:
md5 did not match decoded data, file is corrupt.

From the eading that I've done, this means that the source files are corrupt. However, I checked all the re-encoded files and they are the exact same length as the source files and I can't find any problems with them audibly.
The only issue in fact is that dbpoweramp failed to copy over any tags, which is equally irritating. Could you shed some light on this too?

Thanks!

Ok I can also confirm that the exact same thing occurs when I view the tag info from the ID-Tag info in the track properties from windows explorer. I never noticed this before since I've always used Foobar to view the tags.

The codecs will be looked at quite shortly to see what can be done.
