choppedartisan Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 I have asked the question a couple of times on the forum, but I am left unanswered to this date. I have had this issue with the beta builds and currently the stable release. Tags from my aac files aren't being read by PA. I purchased this app because it was the only one that satisfyingly played my music. V2 works great. But why and how doesn't v3 not read the tags anymore?

maxmp Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 - there are no such things as AAC tags - Poweramp supports id3 v1/v2 and ape tags in AAC - Poweramp has limits on tag size (e.g. huge album art can cause tag not to be read) - if you're absolutely sure it's id3 v1/v2 or ape tag, there is no huge album art, and tags are not read by Poweramp v3 build 814+, please send such track via PM messaging here on forum for tests. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
choppedartisan Posted December 16, 2018 Author Share Posted December 16, 2018 Yes. Sorry. In any case, the metadata in the aac music files should have been read in v3. I have PM'ed you two links for testing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewilley Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 Anecdotally, I've always found AAC files and metadata seem to present proportionally more issues here in the forums than other file formats do. Bless Apple. (Personally I won't have iTunes on any of my computers or other devices, and apart from some test files I have no AAC files either) Andre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KTOuy Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 I'm actually facing the same scenario, i been using Poweramp a few years already, most of my library still aac due space reasons, on v2 no problem whatsoever but v3 not even allowing me to edit. I've tested to change tags on pc and still not being able to have them read on v3.. cleared data a few times just in case. Nothing seems to work.

NickIst Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 What soft are both of you using for tagging? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KTOuy Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 I've used mp3tag and tagscanner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickIst Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 And with what tags do you have problems? Because I don't have problems with AAC format almost at all (only with multiple composers, but I'm not sure that this issue is related to PA).

KTOuy Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 Same file i've just installed v2. I thought aswell may be something within android, But tag managment changed in v3, v2 still allows me to edit and recognize artists v3 does not even reads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickIst Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 Did you try to convert or use a file with m4a extension? I don't use the aac extension at all, maybe PA doesn't see tags in files witn aac extension, I don't know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KTOuy Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 Yes i did and it worked, but 1 it increases the size which was the idea of aac in the first place same file almost 40% less, and second i have a lot of files to do so, which will be a pain to do, i've been using PA mostly due this, was the only one reading properly my library.. i mean, i can live with this but if it was working fine..

NickIst Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 First of all m4a extension is an ordinary and default one. Secondly as far as i know the extension itself doesn't increase file size, it's setting of the encoder which determine the quality to size ratio. And if you encode in the bulk from FLACs it won't be a great problem. Also you can reconvert your files aac to m4a, in theory it won't affect much the quality.

KTOuy Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 Well yeah i tried a few and increased the size about that.. i think i will be bulk doing m4a as aac it's a pain.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KTOuy Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 Well i was converting the file not just changing the extension. I did a few tests and it changed the size, by no means i am an expert here but i believe has something to do with the audio compression. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then if you could upload a couple of example files that don't work, perhaps it might be possible to find out why. Andre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KTOuy Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 Appreciate the help, but technically that would be distributing copyrighted stuff.. let me see if i can gather some other example files.. which i dont have right now... Either way i think will be easier for me just to reconvert my library to m4a or something else Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For that sample file i did not encode anything just downloaded a sample file. I believe some of my library was converted using Aimp converter. Not sure what do you mean with command line :s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickIst Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 1 hour ago, KTOuy said: Not sure what do you mean with command line That explains why you think that extension affects size. In AIMP there is also a command line (at least in my language it's called like that) in which encoding parametres are writtten down. That's how it looks in MusicBee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KTOuy Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 Gotcha, didn't knew about those parameters, when I've use it to convert i just set the bitrate (quality) and that's it.. i think that's what confused me i must have done it at really low.. either way Thanks! I will play around with that and see what can be done with my library. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
