![]() ![]() If Metadatics is using ID3v1 tags it is way behind the times. I suggested testing first with flac files because they use Vorbis, and not ID3 tags. I haven't seen a resolution yet, but the cause is the Code Page or Character Set used in creating the Special Characters. There are a lot of threads discussing that now. ![]() The Special (or composite) Characters are another issue. Google will find it, but be careful where you download it from, as it is everywhere and some of the sources would definitely have put malware or viruses in the download. I use "Tiny Hexer" version 1.8.1.6 because it is small, fast and free. Using a HEX editor to look directly is the best way to do this, as most tagging applications manipulate the data they display, and don't show the raw tag entries. Investigate what Metadatics actually writes into the files. Well documented so all applications should produce the same result.Īs you mentioned Comments aren't shared correctly between MC and Metadatics, it looking more like an issue with Metadatics not saving tags correctly. In that case if I were you I would investigate with flac files first, as they have the best and most consistent tagging structure. These files you imported, MC has never seen them before has it? You haven't imported the files previously, then removed them from the Library, and just added them back? Or had files of the same name and location in the Library previously? Some more investigation to do for you I think AJH. So the source data from online could also be the issue. There isn't a lot of information on his web site, but I see he uses Amazon and MusicBrainz as his online sources. That usually isn't a problem, but maybe he changed something, like indexing or standardising Genres with index numbers, and is unintentionally saving the index number instead of the Genre name. It seems to be a small App created by one man, Mark V. I can't think why there would be a difference between MC26 and MC27, but the data has to be coming from somewhere, so my first suspect would be Metadatics. AJH could also look in one of the files using a HEX editor and see what the Genre is actually set to in the file. Mp3tag is now available on the Mac App Store for $19.99, but you can download a seven-day trial version from the official Mp3tag website.That's a good suggestion Will. ![]() If you really need to edit metadata for multiple audio files, Mp3tag can definitely make this task quicker and simpler.

Examples are formatting tag fields, performing case conversion, removing unwanted fields, or adjusting embedded cover art to match required sizes.Īnother great feature offered by Mp3tag is the integration with third-party online services that provide music databases, such as Discogs and MusicBrainz. Since some of the tasks in managing a digital library are repetitive, Mp3tag allows for combining tasks into action groups, which serve as workflows for keeping consistency and order.
