CS6: old problem... no ID3 tags in MP3s -- solved in Audition CC?

Hi,
known problem: Audition CS6 (Win7) saves ID3 tags only after re-opening a mp3, adding the meta data and saving the file again (as mp3).
You can not edit a file losless as WAV and save this file as mp3 -- the ID3 tags are lost.
Not a usual behaviour
Question: is this bug (in my opinion it's not a feature...) still "implemented" in Audition CC?
thanks!
... a frustrated user

I use CC and I just had to drop ISRC codes into a heap of wav files as well as update the ID3 and RIFF data
I converted them all to mp3 files using dbPoweramp (because that's what I'm used to doing) and all the details were there in both the wav & mp3 files
Hope that helps
PS: I also opened an mp3 and added some ID3 data and saved it and the data was still there

  • Problem with ID3 tags in iTunes

    I was hoping that I could get some clarification on how iTunes uses ID3 tags with mp3s. The problem I am having is that I have fixed all the ID3 tags on my mp3s using another program (Tag & Rename is the name of the program, it does both v1 and v2 ID3 tags) but iTunes still doesn't recognize the changes I have made. I have tried deleting my entire library, and readding all the songs, but for some reason it still has the wrong information. I tried opening the files with other music players, and they read the ID3 tags fine.
    Thanks in advance!
    I don't know if this helps, but the most noticable program is with my compilations. I changed all the artists to the actual artist name instead of "Various" that it used to say, but iTunes still reports the artist as "Various".

    I routinely change file names, change ID3 tags, and edit existing tracks using external programs. Once done, all I do is to double click the track in iTunes to ensure it reads updated ID3 tag info correctly from the track.
    1. iTunes reads track info from the file everytime you play a track and saves any changes that you have made through external software to its internal database at "C:\Documents and Settings\<user name>\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Library.itl" and "iTunes Music Library.xml". As an alternative to playing, you could also press Ctrl-I to display track info, at which time it reads updated info from the track and displays it.
    2. If the filename has been changed for a track, iTunes prompts you to point to the right filename. When done, it populates ID3 tag info, while retaining the playcount and rating.
    Hope this helps.

  • How do you force itunes comments to ID3 tags in MP3 files?

    I have comments all throughout itunes. The mp3 files do not have those comments in the ID3 info.
    How do you force itunes comments to write out to ID3 tags in MP3 files?
    The folder and files all have write permission.

    Yeah, don't do that, you probably also degrade the sound quality... If you've confirmed it is something odd with multiple tags try this.
    Select a group of mp3 files (You might want to start with a smart playlist so you don't mess with any other format)
    Right-click and use Convert ID3 Tags > None (may need to repeat this step if multiple tags)
    Then right-click and use Convert ID3 Tags > v2.3 (v2.4 support still patchy from various accounts)
    Downside is that it will lose any embedded artwork, but it should preserve all other meta-data, both tag-based and stored within the library itself.
    In fact, if you use my CreateFolderArt script before and after updating the tags it should archive any artwork as a local Folder.jpg image for each album and then reinsert that image on the subsequent run... Check it out on a single album first. If it doesn't work as expected let me know and I'll tweak the script to achieve this end.

  • Missing ID3 Tags on MP3 CD burned with iTunes

    I have a Sony CD Player in my car. This Player supports mp3 CD's. To Burn such CD's with iTunes is not the Problem.
    iTunes seems not to set the ID3-Tag in it's Libary. Is it possible to set the iTunes-Libary-Informations (as they are displayed on my Screen) as ID3 Tags to the Files ? Are there Risks within ?

    Ooops. You just created a lot of work by erasing the tag info.
    I think there are some scripts out there that can fill in ID3 tags based on file names.
    This page is from an apple discussions regular poster:
    http://samsoft.org.uk/iTunes/scripts.asp
    You could try the "TagFromFilename" script.
    For future, itunes does not have the ability to update tag info like Windows Media Player does. I suppose you could see what WMP will do, before trying that script.
    Since I haven't used either one to do this, I can't say how well either works.

  • ID3 tags in MP3 files

    Hello everybody!
    How can I read the ID3 tags from an MP3 file? Not just the title, artist and album. All of that. I know the last 128 bytes are reserved for ID3 tags in version 1. But in version 2 (and over) have a lot of other tags, like the album picture (APIC), year (TYER). So how can I do that?
    By Gericop
    P.S.: I don't want to use a 3rd party package...
    Edited by: Gericop on Feb 2, 2008 7:17 PM

    It's not an XML format. If you read this last 128 bytes, you can see title, album and some more infos, but you have to parse it yourself. That isn't hard. But I don't know, how can I determine the v2 tags (and their size).

  • Problems with ID3 Tags in iTunes - Desperate need of assistance!

    Hello all...
    Desperately need some help. I just spent a very (very) long time going through my entire music collection making sure all album art is present and all tags are corrected to my preferences. Now I want to back up the entire drive (F: drive, I keep my music on a separate drive) to a new hard drive (H: drive). However, in the process I've noticed that not all the changes that I made to the tags have actually saved to the tags themselves, even though they continue to display correctly in iTunes. If I load them into another application or reload them into iTunes from the new drive, not all the tag changes I made in iTunes are showing up. It seems iTunes is perhaps storing this tag info in some kind of internal database? To be specific I am not talking about meta-data like ratings and number of times played. I'm talking about artist, genre, etc.
    So my question is this: is there some way to force iTunes to save the data that is currently displayed in iTunes to the ID3 tags?
    I've also been disappointed to find out that when adding album artwork, iTunes does not actually save the artwork to the ID3 tags as I assumed. Any way I can force iTunes to do that?
    Lastly, if neither of the above are possible, is there an easy way to backup the iTunes database so that all my tags and artwork are present once I remove the current drive and re-load my collection into iTunes from the new drive? Will the change of path prevent me from being able to backup the database?

    Hi Ed, thanks for responding so quickly. Yes, they are mp3 files, and yes, I had assumed what you told me, that changes made in iTunes would be made to the mp3 files. I also thought it could have something to do with read only, so I made sure that the files were not read only. But yes, strangely enough, even though the tags show up properly in iTunes, they do not show up properly in other players, and don't show up properly in iTunes if I remove the album, copy the album to the second drive, and load it back into iTunes (only for a portion of the files, but with the size of my collection this would still be time consuming to fix). I don't understand it either, but from research I have done online, it may have something to do with an iTunes glitch relating to the ID3 tag version.
    Regardless of how it is supposed to work or what the explanation is, the situation now stands that my tags display perfectly in iTunes but are not all saved to the files perfectly. So I am hoping there is some way I can force iTunes to save the current state of tag info to the files!
    About the 2 drives, it's simple. Right now my collection is on F:, and loaded into iTunes, but I want to get rid of that drive as it is IDE and too small, and store my collection on H: instead. I'm just really worried that after moving my collection and reloading into iTunes I will need to re-tag and re-load album artwork all over again. Any tips?

  • How to edit ID3 tag of mp3 file?

    Id3INFO but I know it's read-only. How can I change the ID3Tag an mp3? Any tutorial or tips?

    to edit ID3 info in an AIR application? I cannot be of help.
    However, there are many free apps available for mp3 editing- one that I use is Audacity (http://audacity.sourceforge.net/).
    Just open MP3 in Audacity(v1.2.6), go to Project > Edit ID3 tags.

  • Preserve ID3 tags in MP3/AIF files when importing to FCS

    I've got 7000 music files in a carefully groomed iTunes library, each track donated by a local musician for use in our local television productions. I need to move them out of this lame iTunes storage system and into Final Cut Server for use throughout our facility.
    When I import files, the ID3 tags are not preserved. I don't want to hand enter 7000 artist/album/track names all over again. That's madness.
    Working with AIFF files mostly, a few MP3s. Final Cut Server 1.5.2.
    Anyone got any tips?

    There is a solution that involves pruning Spotlight records of the said audio files. The only catch is that it requires Spotlight indexing to be on, which may not be desirable in an Xsan environment. Another approach is to use AtomicParsley (http://atomicparsley.sourceforge.net/) to retrieve the tags. Either way, you will need to generate XML files that Final Cut Server can read. I would recommend using Ruby and Jim Weirich's excellent Builder gem (http://github.com/jimweirich/builder).
    So, make a subscription for new audio assets, run a script that retrieves metadata from the original file and then write a setMd XML file to a Final Cut Server watch folder. There are a few things you will need to solve, such as retrieving the path of the original media. If coding is not your thing, you might consider Transmogrifier (http://transmogrifier.sourceforge.net/), which I've never tried, but does seem to solve many of these issues.
    Good luck.

  • ID3 Tags and MP3 player

    Hello,
    I can't afford a new iPod at the moment so brought an Archos MP3 player. It is a drag and drop device so all I need to do is drop the MP3 file in the music folder on the MP3 player. The only issue I am having is that the songs are not labeled correctly once I go to play them on the MP3 player despite being labeled correctly in iTunes. Can anyone suggest why this may be happening and how I can fix the problem?
    Thanks
    MAtt

    Can't say I really know. MP3 tags come in different versions, iD3 version 1, then ID3 versions 2.1-2.4 Maybe your player needs a different version? You could try making copies of a file with different versions. Oh, a file can have both version 1 and 2, but I'm not sure if iTunes is the most flexible editor when it comes to doing that. You can assign versions under the advanced menu.
    Even given the above, I think there are still incompatibilities in tagging. I know people have reported seeing tags in some programs but them not being there in iTunes. I have viewed tags with one application only to have a perfectly understandable comment filed entry turn into gibberish in iTunes.
    Musorg is a free tagger (not the smoothest interface IMHO). You could make a copy of a file, edit, and see if the tags appear on your player. The problem with Musorg is it has a very limited set of fields and will delete any others, so I don't see this as a real solution. MediaRage is a lot more capable but is shareware. OSX is sorely lacking on the free tagger options since most people just use iTunes (which has its limitations when it comes to tagging).

  • Problems with ID3 Tags

    My hardware and software work great, I've been using iTunes for 3 years and have a large collection. It helps that I'm 60 years old and have been supporting musicians and the industry since the early sixty's.
    My Problem is that I want to be able to create smart playlists with music from each of the decades. You might think you could use the MP3 tag YEAR but the problem is this field is already used to signify the release date of the album.
    I know someone has already solved this problem. If you don't mind, I want to steal your solution.

    The grouping field, I believe, was intended for smart shuffle.
    Take a look at itunes > edit > preferences > playback
    At the bottom, you'll see that smart shuffle can shuffle by songs, albums, or groupings. So if you put Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon" into a group, and then into a plyalist that has that album and turn on shuffle, you could be more likely to hear the entire album's tracks in order.
    itunes > help says this about smart shuffle:
    +If you select Albums or Groupings, iTunes plays the songs in the order in which they appear on the album or in the grouping, and then chooses another album or grouping at random.+
    I don't use shuffle much, so I use grouping for other stuff, like label or where I got the tracks from.

  • Setting MP3 ID3 tag renders mp3 file useless

    Hi guys,
    I'm using the Java MP3 class Library from www.id3.org and am trying to set the artist and title of my mp3s.
    If anyone has used this library, do you know how I might set this information?
    I've tried using the TagContent object supplied by getArtist() and getTitle(), furthermore I have tried creating a new TagContent and applying the tag to the file, but it just throws exceptions when I next try to read this information from the file.
    e.g I have tried this:
    MP3File f = new MP3File(new File("D:/"),"1999_Prince.mp3");
    TagContent tc = f.getArtist();
    tc.setContent("PRINCE");
    f.setArtist(tc);
    f.update();and also this:
    MP3File f = new MP3File(new File("D:/"),"1999_Prince.mp3");
    TagContent tc = new TagContent();
    tc.setContent("PRINCE");
    f.setArtist(tc);
    f.update();This example only changes the artist to capital letters (I'm just experimenting with the code), but it means when I come to read the file again, I can't read the artist.
    Thanks in advance for any ideas,
    Richard

    Hi,
    I just tried it out too, I was lookin for some java mp3 classes and these look great. I used your code to rename a couple of files as a test and it worked. Onlt difference was I used the single string constructor rather than the (file, String) one. I think that it might be interpreting your D:\ as being the name of the file and it cant find it. I'd try the String,String constructor instead eg ("D:\","file name"). These classes look really interesting. I might create a decent java mp3 editor with um at some stage if I get time!

  • Problem with ID3 tag "comment"

    iTunes seems to allow me to enter a comment tag of any length, but will only store a small portion of my comment (255 characters to be precise).
    Anyone know why comments can only be 255 characters and if there is anything to be done about it. Perhaps it is some kind of design feature that cannot be altered.
    DB

    It's a design limitation. As far as I'm aware the id3v2 tag specification doesn't impoose a limit, but as you've seen iTunes only allows entry of, or displays, a maximum 255 characters regardless of what value might have been stored in the tag via other software.
    I'm sure it could easily be fixed in the software if Apple choose to do so. Suggestions go to iTunes Feedback.

  • ID3 tags messing tremendously up on ZEN MX

    Hello,
    I'm a long time creative user, and had many creative mp3 players up through the years. Never had a problem, and always been greatly satisfied.
    But with my latest purchase of a Zen MX I'm a bit confused about the way it handles id3 tags of mp3s.
    My main issue is that it doesn't seem to read it properly. It doesn't care about track numbers, and plays my audiobooks in a total shuffle.
    Also, when I try to update the tags, the are updated correctly in all my players (foobar, wmp, winamp, vlc) but when I transfer them over to the ZEN MX, it somehow fails to update the player, and the files are still stuck with the old tags, before they were updated.
    Ususally I simply transfer the files through windows explorer, but since that didn't work, I've tried to use Creative Centrale, but that's even more hopeless: not finding all the files in an album, also not registering the changes I've made, etc.
    Has anyone else had similar issues, and come up with a sollution?
    I tried searching the forums, but couldn't find anyone with this problem in particular.

    I am having the same problem.
    Another long time user (prefering creative over ipods!) and never had any problems with transferring audiobooks onto my player.
    Got given this MX for christmas when my last Vision M broke but can not get any audiobooks onto the player in any meaningful way
    I cut a book into about 70 mp3 tracks. In my old players I could just transfer them using explorer. I would keep all the artwork, artist and files names and they would be in order.
    With this MX I loose all the tag details and the MX will not recognise the "Audiobook" genre
    The tracks are in some random order (and shuffle is NOT on)
    Track numbers have been lost as well.
    Artwork details has been lost.
    Artists details have been lost.
    I use my mp3 player for audiobooks and think that this beautiful player is worse than useless and I dont have the heart to tell my children who bought it for me.
    I have tried to change the tags once the files are on the player but nothing works. I have used MediaJukebox, Media player, Explorer and Creative central. All to no avail.
    Is there some software update that will fix this problem?
    Please help.

  • On import, lost many id3 tags

    Using an iPod and iTunes for the first time. Imported my music into iTunes (leaving the files where they are). Of the ~3600 songs, 744 have lost their id3 tags. iTunes knows the name, but not the artist, album, genre, track number.
    If I look directly at the file properties in Windows Explorer, or if I look at the files in Winamp, all that info exists.
    Please tell me I don't have to type that all in. Any easy way to fix?

    I have tried some programs for tag - repair/rename/etc, but none of them can read properly all info from mp3 file. Some of them find picture in file, but they have problem with loading it (pictures looks like bad modern art . Others find picture and ID3v1, but have problem with ID3v2...
    At last, I have tried something in iTunes: right-click on file with tag problem, „Convert ID3 tags...“, on dialog box check „ID3 tag version“ and after „OK“, everything is OK.

  • Convert ID3 Tags

    I've got a problem with ID3 tags. As far as i've been using iPod there was no such problem, but now my iPod is broken and i'm using nokia e50 smartpohone instead. The phone doesn't support ID3v2.4 so I had to downgrade all my tags to v2.3
    But in some cases (later i've found those "cases" were encoded with iTunes) no conversion is possible.
    my question is: how to enable the "Convert ID3 Tags" for iTunes encoded files? or if it's impossible what should I do to convert tags without using iTunes
      Windows XP Pro  

    If you're up to it, the following should work.
    Download and install foobar2000 if you don't already use it. Add the unprotected AAC files to the main playlist window. Select them all, right-click, and choose Tagging > Rewrite File Tags.
    Note: At this point, you may need to remove the same files from your iTunes library and add them back again if you will be transferring the files directly from iTunes to your phone. Otherwise, moving the files from their default location to your phone should work just fine.
