    MP3/FLAC to AAC - ID3v1/ID3v2 tags lost

    Hello,

    I have Win7 x64 Ultimate on an AMD x4-940. I installed dBpoweramp 14.2, installed these codecs: AAC, m4a (Nero AAC) Release 10, m4a, m4b, FLAC v14 (FLAC 1.2.1), ID Tag Update, FLAC decoder, etc. A copy of everything is below. Check for updates shows no updates available.

    If I open the MP3 with WinAMP, it shows Basic Info, ID3v1, ID3v2 and APEv2 populated correctly. The FLAC file, it shows Basic Info and Advanced information correctly.

    When I convert the MP3 or FLAC to AAC via right-click and convert or batch convert to AAC (quality 0.65 ~250kbps VBR Forced HEv2 , the ID3v1 and ID3v2 fields are EMPTY. The Basic Info tab shows the same as the MP3/FLAC, and the APEv2 information is populated.

    When converted to m4a (NERO AAC), WinAMP doesn't show any ID3 tag information (there is no tab), so perhaps m4a doesn't support embedded tags.

    Is this a known bug? Note that I had to manually download the Nero AAC plugin from Nero's website, extract and move the files to the folder below:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Illustrate\dBpoweramp\encoder\AAC (Advanced Audio Compression)

    Thanks!
