"AIFF is a common uncompressed audio file format, and is compatible with Apple Macintosh computers. Note that AIFF files can contain ID3 Tags, so the AIFF format is ideal for importing uncompressed audio into software that understands ID3 tags, such as iTunes" This qoute taken from Riptastic! AIFF Encoder - methinks AIFF uses consumer 'ID3 ' chunk tagging to store tag info, not the pro chunks used by other Apple software. Incidentally, when I look at AIFF files in Slimserver I look at them by browsing the music folder which is not the same drive iTunes music is stored on and the file in question is not indexed in the iTunes library at all (it was copied to the other drive so cannot be referencing the iTunes database). A similar WAV file given the same treatment does not display this info at all. Info is: Title: Crawling up a Hill Artist: Katie Melua Album: Call Off The Search Genre: Jazz Track: 2 File Format: AIFF Duration: 3:25 Volume Adjustment: -9.67 dB Year: 2003 File Length: 36,239,488 Bytes Bitrate: 1411kbps CBRSample Rate: 44.1 kHz Sample Size: 16 Bits ID3 Tag Version: ID3v2.2.0 Location: D:\My Music\02 Crawling up a Hill.aif (Download) Date Modified: Sunday, October 1, 2006, 9:57:04 PM Anyway - about this 'Volume Adjustment: -9.67 dB'...anyone have any inside info on where iTunes got that from when it made the file originally..? :-) -- Timbo ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Timbo's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=933 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=28157 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
