Preserve Metadata

[kkittleson]

Hi,

I'm using the converter and using "preserve source attributes" and it's doing a pretty good job of not changing my metadata except for a couple things...

I do have a few things in there that doesn't match up to ID tags or BWF Cart chuck or so but need to let them remain. Is there any other setting or option i can use that guarantees it won't remove anything?

Thank you!

Re: Preserve Metadata

The tags are read then only the ones dBpoweramp understands are written out. Which tags are missing?

Spoon For my use case I am missing the attributes "Make" and "Model" which I rely on.

Here is the RAW metadata:
