    TuneFusion conversion from FLAC to M4A does not support Gapless ITUNSMPB tag

    Hi,

    I switched from Batch Converter to TuneFusion at your recommendation for my workflow last June:
    https://forum.dbpoweramp.com/showthr...103*post192103

    However, I have now noticed that TuneFusion's "m4a FDK (AAC)" encoder does not support the ability to configure Gapless Signaling as does Batch Converter/Music Converter. The latter has an Advanced Settings button that allows you to pick the encoder Profile and the Gapless Signaling option (iTuneSMPB). When selected, the post-conversion M4A file contains an ITUNSMPB tag that supports gapless playback.

    Is there a way to enable the generation of the ITUNSMPB tag when using TuneFusion to convert my FLAC files to M4A?

    Thanks,
    Dennis

    On TuneFUSIONs configuration page, the encoder settings are exactly the same as for Music Converter, it is the same codec, there is an advanced button which allows access to the Gapless setting.

    Thanks for the prompt reply, but I see a different encoder settings page for TuneFusion 1.2 than for Music Converter. Please see attached images for both. There is no Advanced button on the TuneFusion page.

    Is there a different TuneFusion configuration page I should be looking at?

    Thanks,
    Dennis

    Thanks Spoon. But I am unable to install it. I started by installing it over v1.2 as recommended, but each time I do, I get the dialog box in the attached message. I have rebooted twice now, and then I try the 1.3 install again. But I get the same dialog box each time.

    Running Windows 10 on latest updates.

    Any suggestions?

    Thanks,
    Dennis

    Thanks Spoon. But I'm unable to install v1.3 beta over 1.2 (as recommended). When I try, I get the dialog box shown in the attached image. I have rebooted 3 times, but still get the same message.

    So I reinstalled 1.2 and tried to then install 1.3 beta again; but I still just keep getting that same dialog box even after rebooting.

    I am running Windows 10 with the latest updates.

    Any suggestions?

    Thanks,
    Dennis

    Related question: TuneFusion 1.2 is configured to do a 1:1 copy of my existing M4A files from the source to the destination directory. The M4A files do appear to be copied (rather than re-encoded) because the process is instantaneous. But the ITUNSMDB tag that is present in the source directory copy is removed by TuneFusion and is no longer present in the destination dir.

    Two questions:
    1) Is this fixed in 1.3 beta?
    2) What is it that TuneFusion changes during the 1:1 copy of M4A or MP3 files?

    Thanks,
    Dennis

    It was fixed yes, in 1:1 copies the tags are re-written. I will have to check if itunsmpb is preserved.

    We will start work on TuneFUSION again soon and release a new beta update.
