Read AIFF metadata

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi Everyone,

I bought some AIFF tracks from Beatport the other day.  I prefer them
over WAV because the AIFF have embedded album art, song name, etc.

I loaded them up in Audacious (F17+GNOME) which played them happily.
But, it's not reading any of the metadata.  All of the fields are
displayed as empty.  I tried VLC and mplayer, too.   Still nothing.

I downloaded the same tracks on to a Windows 7 PC and listened to them
with VLC.  VLC read the metadata without any problems.  Hmmm....

I then installed Kid3 to see if it could read the metadata.  Sure
enough, it was all there.  So, the tracks are clearly not broken.

I tried converting the AIFFs to FLAC with ffmpeg and flac, but the
metadata was still missing.

I'd appreciate a recommendation for an audio player that can read AIFF
metadata in GNOME or better yet, how I can convert these AIFFs to FLAC
and keep the metadata intact.

Regards,

Ranbir
