He's probably using COMMENT as the FLAC Name, Tag is using DESCRIPTION.

Longtime Tag user, didn't know that a new version was out (Tag 0.4-.1>Update did not report a new version), but happy to see it's still in development, however I have the following problems: Comment Field (in Misc) is not displaying my Comment (My Flac Name is: COMMENT, Tag1.03 is using: DESCRIPTION...

mattn, is Max working for you on Lion?

Same problem.
Will Max be updated for Lion?
Will Rip ever come out of Beta?
Is it time to move to XLD?

Now this is interesting....
I unchecked "Dynamically show and hide windows" in the General Tab, and now I can open the Formats Tab without crashing on my MacBook Air.

Well, to further complicate this issue, I can activate the Formats Tab on my Mac mini, but not on my MacBook Air (both running OS X 10.6.7).

When I select 128VBR (with Apple MPEG-4 (Audio) AAC (Medium Quality Setting)): what is encoded is: maxBitrate = 163360 avgBitrate = 141238 if I encode with iTunes: maxBitrate = 160176 avgBitrate = 128000 and with afconvert -v -b 128000 -s 2 -f m4af -d aac maxBitrate = 160176 avgBitrate = 128000 What...

I've played with the Quality Settings in the Apple MPEG-4 AAC settings and they don't appear to do much (if anything).
I do see changes in maxBitrate & avgBitrate, but not by much.
Isn't the quality setting for true VBR, not constrained VBR? I thought that the quality settings is for true vbr.

Is Max using VBR or Constrained VBR in the Apple MPEG-4 Audio AAC? (looks like you're using constrained.)

I see that the following Flac encoding options are used: ENCODING=FLAC settings: exhaustiveModelSearch:0 midSideStereo:1 looseMidSideStereo:0 QLPCoeffPrecision:0, ,enableQLPCoeffPrecisionSearch:0, minResidualPartitionOrder:0, maxResidualPartitionOrder:5, maxLPCOrder:8, apodization:tukey(0.5) Are the...

If I understand what you are asking, Max uses libmp4v2 to read and write atoms in MP4 files. The library takes care of the nitty-gritty of individual atom format, etc. OK, great! I just d/l'd libmp4v2-1.5.0.1 and after compilation there's MP4TAGS in the Util folder that will allow me to add a jpeg ...

Worked! (I tried using an Applescript wrapper unsuccessfully yesterday, but didn't realize till now that I needed to write the AppleScript as a "droplet").

Thanks.

I see, thanks.

You could use a shell script by setting up an AppleScript application that accepts a file and then runs the shell script. Thanks, I'll give that a try. BTW, how does MAX import the Album Art to m4a files? I ask because I'm trying to do the same via AppleScript and the only way I can do it is to con...

Is it possible to have a shell script run after processing? I see the "post-processing" tab in preferences, but it won't accept a script
