If anyone has the installation codec of release 11, I would greatly appreciate it if you could e-mail it to me at (aja oki at g mail dot com) (minus the spaces, of course).
I'm incredibly anal about my tags, in fact, one of the biggest reasons I loved dBpoweramp was because it was able to transcode my FLACs to FLACs (ie, upgrade the version) while still maintaining the tags completely as is.
If you're a Winamp user, check the tags in the advanced tab. You'll notice fields like "Artist" "Album" etc. If I defined the field as "Artist", after a transcode, it'd still be "Artist", nothing like "ARTIST" which most others would spew out. One exception was that it would change TrackNumber and DiscNumber to TRACKNUMBER and DISCNUMBER, but that was a small price to pay.
But capitalization isn't the only thing. It maintained order. If I had Artist, then Album, then Track, then, whatever, it would maintain the exact order presented.
Since I upgraded codecs, it doesn't do this. It now interprets my layour of TrackNumber : 1/20 as splitting into TRACKNUMBER : 1 and TOTALTRACK : 20, and the same general thing with DiscNumber, as well.
If I go into the advanced codec tagging options and turn off Vorbis Comment Mapping #'s 5 and 6, the tags are spared, but when transcoding, dBpoweramp doesn't know they are tracknumbers, so the file name when it should be something like "01 - Track.flac" would be " - Track.flac"
Maybe this is too anal for some, but it's perfection to me.
