    FLAC to Apple lossless tag problem

    I am using dBpoweramp (17.2 [64-bit] in windows 10) to convert my Flac files to Apple Losseless for many months.
    Suddenly, since yesterday, my Apple Losseless file is missing some of the info in the tag (as you can see in the photo attached, on the left side is the tag of Flac file and on the right side is the tag of the Apple Losseless file).
    Can please someone help me with this?

    Do you have a DSP effect 'id tag processing'? if so remove it.

      Hi Spoon.
      No, I don't have any DSP effect...

          Your screenshot shows the audio properties for a m4a file, not an alac file. Just to mention that...

            Unfortunately, I have this problem with all of my flac files.
            I have sent you a personal message with a link.

              Hi Dat Ei.
              You are correct!
              That's the conversion I am using.

                But didn't you talk about an Apple lossless conversion in the first post?

                    Ok, my fault, thought that m4a is always lossy.

                      I don't have any Apple Lossless files to confirm, but I recall reading that Apple Lossless files are also stored in an "m4a" container, just like an AAC file can be in an m4a container. Confusing I know.

                          Please update to R17.4, we cannot find an issue with the file you sent, it converts to Apple Lossless with all the tags.

                            I have updated to R17.4. I have made conversion from a flac file to wav, dsf, mp3 & aif and all of these files are ok, with full tag info.
                            Only the conversion to mp4 has this problem.
                            Bellow are some screen shots of my dbpoweramp and my settings. Please help me if you know that I must change a setting or more.

                              We release R17.5 in the next 2 weeks, it could be a change in the background libraries has fixed this issue, but for now on that advanced configuration page, enable the debugging option and convert the file in your image to m4a, the log will show after conversion, paste the contents here please.
