Tags lost after converting DSF to Apple Lossless

[cbank8]

Both artwork and tags are good when editing DSF using Music Converter. After conversion from DSF to Apple Lossless, artwork is good and tags are mostly lost. e.g. title, artist, album are lost. genere is good. this is really weird?

any way to solve?

Re: Tags lost after converting DSF to Apple Lossless

Same issue reported here:

https://forum.dbpoweramp.com/showthread.php?44901-Cannot-tag-album-information-into-the-Apple-lossless-file-format/page2

Tell me about your computer, Windows version, any security software? Please as a test convert the FLAC file to m4a AAC (FDK), do the tags get written?
