AIFF to FLAC conversion does not include all metadata

[lucasvickers]

Hello,

I'm converting an AIFF to FLAC. Most of the metadata gets correctly transferred, but certain pieces are not.

Missing metadata:

• Grouping
• BPM
• Remixer
• Release Time
• Official Audio File Webpage
• Publishers' Official Webpage

Things that are correctly copied:

• Title
• Artist
• Album
• Year
• Track
• Album Art

Any idea what may be causing this and what can be done? I did some Googling and I don't think there are any DSP processors that can address this.

Thanks,
Lucas

right click on the original aiff file >> Edit ID Tags, are all the tags listed by dBpoweramp?

do the same no the FLAC file.

do the same no the FLAC file.

Thanks for that -- getting closer. I was using Yate to view the tags which is giving a slightly different result.

Within dBpoweramp, it's showing identical tags.
Within Yate, I found the missing tags defined under the "User Defined Tags" section.

Any idea why this is? I wonder if readers will have issue if tags get moved to the User Defined Tags section?

You would have to ask Yate, the tags are written with a simple element name, so 'BPM' will be stored as 'BPM'. It sounds like yate only expects certain tags in FLAC and all others are 'user defined'
