meta data not transferring with add to library

[phrarod]

I have everything in iTunes and when I navigate to the folders I want import it does so without importing the meta data. The files are AIFF and ripped through iTunes. There's no manual so I'm stumped.

Play doesn't currently support ID3 chunks in AIFF files, so there is no way to read metadata from them. Honestly, I'm not 100% positive that iTunes evens embeds ID3 chunks. In any case, Play will do this in the next release.

Thanks for the reply.

Two questions: Do you have any ETA on the next release? Why is play sooooooo much better at playback than iTunes even though I rip with iTunes. Its night and day with Play compared to iTunes playback.

I'm terrible at guessing release dates, so I won't even try! I have a ton of ideas for things to do with Play, so I wouldn't expect anything in the next few months.

Does playback sound better in Play compared to iTunes? Try disabling "Sound Enhancer" in iTunes, Preferences > Playback.

It sounds TREMENDOUSLY better. Nothing is checked in the iTunes playback section. It sounds so much better I would love to understand why.
