    We do not have anything that can do this.

      OK, thanks.

      I have just realised that perhaps this could be achieved by two calls to coreconverter.exe with External Tag Scripting, albeit that the first call to read the tags would have to create a redundant audio output file, or find some was to terminate execution.

      If anyone has experience of this, please say.

        FTR, perhaps better to use DMCscripting e.g. this reads the tags in External Tag Scripting %idtagstxt% format:

        ' create shell object
        Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")

        ' Create dMC Object
        Set dMC = CreateObject("dMCScripting.Converter")

        ' Write tag fields to stdout
        For i = 0 To 10000
        Dim ElementValue
        ElementValue = dMC.ReadIDTagElementValue("testin.wma", i)
        If ElementValue = "" Then Exit For
        WScript.StdOut.WriteLine(Replace(ElementValue,": ","="))
        Next



        but I don't know if it suffers the Rating problem reported here: http://forum.dbpoweramp.com/showthre...-rating-on-WMA
