FLAC Tags and Filenaming

[RedHotS4]

I have about 600 FLAC files in my database. I want to convert these files to MP3 so I can play on my iPod, etc. When I run the conversion, the details of the tags are lost.

Here's an example. The following information is shown for the FLAC file in WinAmp:

Track: Meet Virginia
Artist: Train
Album: Train
Date: 1998
Track Num: 01

When I convert that file to .WAV or MP3, I wind up with track name "01 - 01 - Meet Virginia" and the rest of the info shown above is gone. I'd hate to have to manually update the tag information for all of these tracks.

What am I doing wrong here? Thanks in advance!

Hi

Please attach your List Of Plugins

Are you a Winamp Pro registered user?

You can only transcode (with the Format Converter) to mp3 with Winamp Pro.

WAV doesn't support tags/metadata.

Though FLAC to MP3 should be working okay....
assuming you're using Pro and you haven't installed some bunk 3rd-party mp3 plugin.

What method are you using, by the way?
Right-click items in ML or Playlist -> Send To -> Format Converter?
Or are you using Winamp to manage your iPod and you're using the auto transcode feature during the sync process?
