Metadata from CDs to files

Ripping a CD with Metadata from FREEDB seems to work.
How does one get this data into the saved file in BWF & Cart Chunk, to use with radio automation? Is there a step by step process? I can not seem to get it to work, except of retyping it in, which defeats the purpose.

I believe you have to choose the option, "Write changes to XMP" to have that happen. For those files that you have already added the information, try highlighting them and pressing Ctrl(Cmd)/S.

if someone can tell me by an little code example then it would be great help.

The sample XAPDumper read metadata in a file (PDF or not) if it is valide. If you want to keep the XAPMeta object, don't delete this object in ProcessSubstring().

Looking for pure Java API to read metadata from an MP4 file.

Hi, I am looking for a pure Java api that can read MP4 metadata. I have been trying to look online for one but have not found anything
suitable. If there are no good api's, can someone point me to resources on how to parse metadata from an MP4, tutorials would be great
as well. I have looked online for that as well but have not found much. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

How do i remove the exif metadata from my jpg file produced with a digital camera photo?

How do i remove the exif metadata from my jpg file produced with a digital camera photo?

The excellent and free utility Irfanview has the option to remove the EXIF data.
Simply open and the file and do a Save, or Save As with the original name.
Surprisingly, the default is to not keep the original EXIF data.

Powershell: How do I upload files with metadata from a manifest file?

I am using the script from this blog to try to upload files into SharePoint, using a manifest file to specify the metadata associated with each file. Right now, the script works, but is not populating
the metadata from the manifest (xml) file. When I write the $metadataManifest variable out to the console, I get the contents of my xml file, so the code is reading the file when it should. However when it gets to the line in bold ($metadataManifest.Columns.Column),
it does not go into that block...it just skips on to checkin the file. Again the $metadataManifest variable shows all the content in my xml manifest file. Here is what the script looks like...

Hi Spawn,
Name should not be a problem.. I will probably post you the entire code (I modified it to meet your goals for having multiple column xml nodes as well)
For the code snippet below:
a. In powershell all my changes will have ## prefixed comments
b. in XML I have changed one column name to "Name" to replicate your case and also added a parent node for making the xml well formed.
and the SharePoint output

Importing metadata from XMP sidecar files into Aperture 2.0?

Has anybody found a way to to do this? It appears that the metadata stored in the XMP sidecar files created by Photoshop and Bridge is ignored by Aperture when it imports images. That is pretty much a show stopper when it comes to using Aperture for asset management.

The XMP import capability is limited to metadata/IPTC type info - NOT ACR adjustments and such - those values are specific and make no sense to Aperture. This is true in reverse as well - ACR/Bridge/LR/NX2, etc, etc may pickup IPTC type metadata from XMP or embedded values but NO software will translate adjustment values from another piece of software that are stored ad metadata.

Itunes can't read metadata from some mp3 files

I'm running itunes on windows 7 64. I transferred my library from my old xp machine and everthing seems to be fine except that about 20 albums have lost their metadata (some have the album name, but no tracks - most have nothing). When I attempt to use the 'get track info' option, it tells me that it can only retrieve track information for files that were imported using iTunes - which mine all were. The tracks all play just fine.
The odd thing is that windows media player has no issue pulling the track info out of the files. In fact, it even displays a field indicating that the mp3 files were created originally using iTunes.
Just for kicks, I copied the files over to a machine running win xp and attempted to do the import there (thinking that iTunes may be flaky on win 7), but no joy.
The tracks all have their data intact, as demonstrated by wmp and I really want iTunes to be able to read it out because it would take forever to hand tag each one all over again. If I don't get them tagged, I'll have a lot of trouble syncing these with my iPod. Suggestions anyone?

When I attempt to use the 'get track info' option, it tells me that it can only retrieve track information for files that were imported using iTunes - which mine all were.
You mean when you go to iTunes menu Advanced -> Get CD track names.
That is different than right click - get info on a track.
In order to Get CD track names, the songs must be rRIP'd using the same iTunes library on the same computer. It will not work if you RIP on one computer and copy them to another computer.
Try this...
Select one of the songs in iTunes, right click - Convert ID3 tags and select V2.3.

How can I extract the metadata from multiple image files into a .csv?

Hi.
I'm looking for what I believe is a simple task but I am not sure how to go about it. I want to get the relevant data (seen in the screen grab below) into a spread sheet. I need to get the File Name, Size, Dimensions, Resolution and Kind into the spreadsheet so I can better analyze the data for my purposes. I have tried to find EXIF and IPTC extractors but only come across products that show me the info with no way of transferring it. I figured there must be a way to do this in the Finder. Maybe it's a simple Automator task (which I am not very good at) or a Script.
Can anyone guide me thru or suggest a tool that would work?
I was given a suggestion in another Disscussion to use a Plug-In for iPhoto. I found an old one but it dosnt have all of the metadata I need. It's missing the File Name and Resolution as options.

Website is caching metadata from orig AI file within the PDF?

I had an Illustrator file and printed as a PDF. Uploaded to the web under a different file name.
Why when I do a Google search is the search engine displaying the name of the AI file?? How would it even know this?
Is metadata getting captured within the PDF and the web crawler picking up on?
Please explain and tell me how to control this?
Thanks!

As noted you should look at the meta data of the PDF. This is part of the PDF properties and with the addition of XMP data, there is a lot data retained by the PDF during Creation. Be sure to investigate the 'Additional Meta data' and 'Advanced' buttons. If this is a problem, look at removing the data by manually deleting it or using a redaction tool.

C++ code to get XMP metadata from pdf files ??

Hi,
I am new to this field and now I have to write a C++ code which will read the XMP metadata from any pdf files. Could anyone please tell me how to do that or where to start? Is there any sample code available for that?
I am reading the Programmer's guide and XMP specification to have the whole idea.
I really appriciate your help. Thanks in advance.

Hi,
The same code for reading other formats will go for Pdf too.
Only difference is while reading PDF it is not calling any smart filters.

I think you should test this with one or two pictures - import/convert, save metadata to file, geotag, read metadata. Also try import/convert, make small adjustment, save metadata to file, geotag, read metadata. In iView I often write metadata to DNG's that have been adjusted, then read the metadata in Lightroom - sometimes I add more data in iView and do more adjustments.
I have seen the problem you describe, but it has been with raw files which I have adjusted in Lightroom but haven't saved out the metadata. I have then created an xmp sidecar in iView, and read the metadata in LR. So the sidecar had no ACR/LR instructions. The result was that my adjustments were wiped out. What I suspect is that something similar is happening with your DNGs - that conversion creates them but doesn't write the ACR/LR fields.
So try a few alternative sequences.

How do I move an audiobook file from my song files to the audiobooks file?

I downloaded several audiobooks, from cds, the files are in with my music files. I don't see how I can move the files in with my other audiobooks. can someone tell me how to move them?

Hi
You should change media type from music to audiobook. You will not be able to do this with match turned on.
Options -
turn off match and make change or
delete books and rerip, changing media type before import or
delete from library and cloud, keep file, readd book and change media kind before match scans your library.

Metadata from InDesign to PDF via PostScript

When I check the PDF the metadata is gone. When I check the PostScript file I see the placeholders for metadata, just no metadata.
Any suggestions for how to prepare the PostScript file ?
Thanks

Metadata (along with color management profiles, tagging, and many other things) are lost when you make a PostScript file, then use Distiller. The PostScript format predates all of these things are was never prepared to preserve them. That's why creating PDF in a different way is essential.
That's not entirely fair. PostScript certainly predates the PDF metadata structuring, however when PDF was introduced, Adobe extended PostScript to define a way to include PDF data in PostScript files (pdfmark; though I want to say there's another way as well). There's no reason that InDesign's Postscript export couldn't or shouldn't support inclusion of simple metadata in PostScript output (XMP metadata, on the other hand, I don't know if there's a good way to include such that Distiller would pick it up).
Of course, it would be possible to extract the metadata from the InDesign file seperately and shove it into the extracted PostScript file prior to distilling, or shove it in to the produced PDF file after distilling. Just a simple matter of scripting.

Dov, I feel like you are being a little disingenuous here to make a political point. As many have observed, often distilling InDesign's postscript produces more compact PDF files than any reasonable direct PDF output setting from InDesign. That makes it legitimately attractive to some people who care a lot about minimizing file size while maximizing quality. It is diffficult to tell them they are wrong.
I guess I haven't looked closely at this question, but it seems like this disfavored workflow does have some clear advantages. (I don't use such a workflow, so, take that with some salt.)
