M4a not saving to some fields

#1

Hi @Christiaan

I am on macos and i am having some issues with m4a files (files from apple itunes store) not having some fields updated

so far i have noticed

  1. album art (this is empty in lexicon )
  2. label field - i use this for ALL TAGS, it gets populated in lexicon but empty when i bounce the track to serato

any ideas

#2

Do you mean that it does not load the album art in Lexicon?

Label field: do you have a field mapping set up for that when you sync to Serato? Or did you use the Tag Writer?

#3

No it does not pull album art from the internet for m4a files

I use tag writer. “Write to tags “

I check in Lexicon with reload tags prior to adding the files to serato. When I load the file in Serato I only see the tags written to comments for the m4a. Label field is empty.

Can you upload a few of those m4as so I can test them? http://upload.lexicondj.com

Hello

I just uploaded 3 files - m4a, alac (m4a) and aiff

repro steps

BUG 1

map lexicon to write user tags to LABEL and COMMENT field

  • In Lexicon

  • Right Click > Use > Write to Tags

  • Reload tags to check your work

  • Exit Lexicon

  • Load file in Serato (Directly, not export)

Label Field is empty

Remixer field is also affected

BUG 2

Try to do a ALBUM ART search for the m4a

Nothing shows up

I’ll check those files, thanks

Issues should be fixed in the next update, please let me know if it all works
