Hello again! I have been playing with fields a bit as I am tagging a bunch of classical music for the first time. I tagged flac files with work, movementname, movementnumber, movement(total), grouping and so forth. I then converted them to ALAC (.m$a) and brought them into itunes. A bunch of tag…

I did a quick test by copying the tags I had for the flacs to the .m4as using the cntrl+C and Contrl+V function. I can report that now showmovement, and movement transfered over when tagging the alac files. Movement# (MOVEMENT) and total amont of movement (MOVEMENTTOTAL) did not, which I do not und…

Thanks once again ohrenkino!!! You are awesome! I will read and report back.

OK. I have been reading a lot and am working on a chart, but things still don't seem to work. When I try to tag the flacs, a lot is lost once they get transferred to alacs. WORK transfers but MOVEMENTNAME, MOVEMENT, MOVEMENTTOTAL do not. When I look at the fields in picard, they are gone, but th…

See also my followup post. The problem was that I was using dbPoweramp to do batch conversions from FLAC to ALAC and MP4, and it was at that time not doing it correctly. Perhaps they have fixed this by now, but I do this infrequently, so I worked around it by transferring the tags over in mp3tag a…

Thanks, yes I read that post and dB poweramp is what I was using and it seems they may be the culprit. I like your idea of tagging the flacs and then just copying the tags to the Alacs. I just have to make sure I am filling in the right fields. I will keep playing with this and reply once I am su…

[image] esumsea: WORK transfers but MOVEMENTNAME, MOVEMENT, MOVEMENTTOTAL do not. When I look at the fields in picard, they are gone, but the original do possess the tag. Just to make sure the issue is not somewhere else: For Picard to properly support the movement tags you need at least Pica…

Thanks! As I reported, I think the convertor was the culprit.
