Is there a way to use iTunes (or any other mac apps or functions) to remove RIFF data chunk info written by other applications?

Hello,
I am a DJ and I currently use iTunes to manage and organize all of my songs which are in .wav format. After I have everything organized the way I want, I import the songs into my DJ software called Traktor. Traktor can then read all of the xml tags that I set for the .wav file in iTunes, like artist, genre, etc.
I found that when I play songs in Traktor, the software will write some meta-data tags in the RIFF chunk of the .wav file. (Example: song title, music genre, artist name, comment, etc). I can see this meta data info when I show info on the .wav file (see screenshot below)
The problem comes when I try to update some of the info in iTunes, then re-import the song in Traktor. Traktor will not over-write the meta-data info into the .wav file. I'm probably making a big assumption, but I'm hoping that if I can somehow remove all of the previously written info, then re-import the song into Traktor, it should be able to write the info.
Does anybody know if there is an iTune script that can remove this meta-data information? In other words, I'm looking to revert the .wav file to a "clean" state where there is no extra RIFF meta data stored in the file. If not in iTunes, are there any other OS script commands or tools I might be able to use?

And some more info I just found...
I found a web article that confirms that it is possible to clean ("sanitize" or "scrub") the files manually on Mac. It even provides a link that (I am assuming) details how to do it.
Unfortunately, the link doesn't work for me. Does the link work for anybody else?
Here's the article: http://lawyerist.com/remove-metadata-with-batch-software/
Scroll down to the 3rd section "How to remove metadata?" to see the link that I'm referring to.

    I have a MacBook Pro with mountain Lion, I was wondering if I could use dictation or any other application to have a voice password.

    I'm not aware of any application that will allow this.  Most applications won't launch until after you login (which would include any utility that could do this).  I'm not sure how much use there would be for something like this.  For obvious reasons, a spoken password isn't particularly secure.  I would imagine a blind person using a computer would still be able to manually enter a password.  I would make sense for folks with other types of disabilities I suppose... so long as there isn't anyone around whenever they use their password.

  • Use itunes gift card in mac app store

    Hi,
    I just got an iTunes gift card, can I use this in the Mac App Store to buy, for example the new OSX when it comes out?
    I'm not talking about the app store in iTunes / iPhone.

    You can use iTunes Cards in the MAS...
    However, it should be noted that some Purchases may require a Credit Card.

  • Is there a way to use Itunes with a windows phone?

    I just bought a windows phone and would like to bring in tracks from my Itunes library to use as ringtones. I have 5000+ tracks in my Itunes (for windows) library and refuse to purchase any more as ringtones.
    Is there a Itunes for windows phone app I can get? Or is there a good 3rd party software utility that I can use to import tracks to my phone, either using the web; or with a direct connection. My phone has the Zune software and it will not allow tracks within it used as ringtones.

    No.

  • Is there a way to use the photos from iphoto in a collage like the itunes artwork screensaver?

    is there a way to use the photos from iphoto in a collage like the itunes artwork screensaver?

    Yes except i would like it to look like the itunes album artwork screen saver does.  the itunes album artwork screen saver shows a bunch of squares and when one of the boxes changes it spins and goes to the next album artwork
    what you have indicated above is kind of like a slide show where it shows you one of your pictures and zooms out to show you a collage version of another one of your pictures.  i would like it to be formatted similar to the way the itunes screen saver is.
    if you click on itunes artwork on the same menu as shown in your last post, you will see what i am trying to achieve.

  • Is there a way to download itunes 10? I only have OS X 10.4 and want to use my new ipod nano which needs at least itunes 10. I currently have 9.4

    Is there a way to download itunes 10? I only have OS X 10.4 and want to use my new ipod nano which needs at least itunes 10. I currently have 9.4

    In order to run iTunes 10 you need OSX 10.5 or greater.  You will have to upgrade your operating system, if that is possible.   What you can do to upgrade will depend upon your computer and software you run.  To get more information about your computer, go to the Apple in the upper left corner of any window, then "About This Mac", then "More Info..."  Copy and paste the information here, but omit the serial number.

  • 4 people in our family have an iphones or ipod on the same apple id ..so that we can all share the itunes library. however  this means that we all get each others imessages. is there a way of sharing  itunes library with 4 separate ids?

    4  of us in the family with iphonesor ipods share the same apple id so that we can share the itunes library . However , this means we all receive each others imessages, unless we disable imessaging. Is there a way of sharing itunes library (ie.g with 4 separate ids) that avoids the sharing of imessages? .

    Thanks, Terence, but if she was inclined to upload things, I wouldn't need access!
    Here is an example: we go on vacation, she takes 250 photos, edits twenty of the best shots, and uploads three to facebook.  I want to make an album including some of the edited shots and some of the less perfect but still fun shots - so I need all 250 photos - uploading that many photos to a photosharing site takes forever even if she did it - but she won't.  I used to just hijack her computer for a day, but I'd like to be able to hijack her iphoto library without stealing her computer...if possible!
    Thanks for any help you can offer!

  • Is there a way to use ipod with new computer without erasing entire library

    I'm not really tech-savvy, but I'm tossing my old computer and getting a new one - is there a way to use my ipod on my new computer without erasing my existing library? It won't let me make changes to my ipod and wants me to erase everything that is on there right now - HELP!

    Connect your iPod to your computer. When you get the message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod. When your iPod appears in iTunes enable it for disk use, this is required for most if not all the utilities listed below so they can access the files: Using your iPod as a storage drive
    Once you are safely connected there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. If you have any iTMS purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. A paragraph on it has been added to this article: Transfer iTunes Store purchases using iPod
    The transfer of non iTMS content such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can also read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
    TuneJack Windows Only
    iPod2PC Windows Only
    iGadget Windows Only
    iDump Windows Only
    iRepo Windows Only
    iPodRip Mac & Windows
    YamiPod Mac and Windows Versions
    Music Rescue Mac & Windows
    iPodCopy Mac and Windows Versions
    There is also a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows or a Mac. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available at this link: Two-way Street: Moving Music Off the iPod
    Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync. I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay.
