FLAC TO ALAC - Not All Tags Convert

[davidi]

Hello everyone, I've noticed that when I convert FLAC to ALAC, the 'Description' tag is empty in the ALAC file. Am I missing something? I tried to use 'ID Tag Processing->Map' and map Description to Description but that did not work either. All the other tags seem to convert ok. I don't notice any other tags missing, just the Description tag. Any help would be appreciated. I am using the latest version of dBpoweramp (2024-05-30) on Windows 11 :-)

Like you said, most tag fields will map across both codecs during conversions, but there are just some that won’t. (STYLE is one that I run into trouble with.) The easiest solution I’ve found is to add the field after conversion. A bit annoying, yes, but not that big a deal since I always run my files though a tag editor anyway.

I get it, it's really more annoyance than anything lol I understand that not everything will map correctly. I was really hoping there was solution other than opening up a tag editor and adding the Description field back in. Ahh well. Thank you.
