Is > there any existing tagging program that supports it? Paul, MP3 files use ID3 tags (or ID3v2). MP4/M4A files use either proprietary Applet tags The full issue is discussed here http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/lofiversion/index.php/t32063.html "Apple has pretty much defined the standard for MPEG-4 AAC tags with their iTunes tagging format for AAC. I don't even know if you can call it a standard since no official specifications for the tags have been released by Apple. MPEG-4 AAC just didn't have any tagging format so Apple created one." "Everybody uses Apple's tags nowadays. There is mpeg-7 which defines real metadata in mp4 but nobody uses it. " AAC Tagging info http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=29120&st=0&p=251686&#entry251686 I think you best chance is using a PC based program to do your tagging, one that supports both ID3 on MP3 and AAC tags like this one: http://users.otenet.gr/~dtou20/ Hope this helps (or at least helps understand the problem). :) If not, sorry. FC PS: I don´t own a N900, just wanted to help. _______________________________________________ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@xxxxxxxxx https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users
