![]() ![]() It appears there may be more music-specific metadata fields in Subler than iTunes (there is a good bit of overlap). While "BPM" is not included in the metadata fields, Subler does have 69 available fields. Subler will also allow you to save a "custom template" (or "SET") of recurring metadata that you want for a specific type of media file. mkv), then I can understand why an app like iFlicks 2 (or Handbrake) would be absolutely necessary.Īs to music files, your plan for "CD's to iTunes (import) to Subler to iTunes" sounds ideal, but without knowing how many new metadata fields you plan to add, it's a harder call. If the file is typically a BR Source Rip (e.g., a 35-45 GB. Do you plan to keep your current workflow for A/V files? I am not entirely familiar with iFlicks 2, but it sounds like iFlicks is actively encoding the source, on some level. No problem! I have more experience with the A/V workflow in Subler, but I do have some thoughts. mkv container with an AC-3 multi-channel audio track). FWIW, Subler can eliminate a whole lot of video encoding, save hours of waiting time, and reduce wear and tear (provided the source is an. I hope this is of some help for your use case. Media files with multiple tracks (and types of tracks) - whether intended for "Option Group 0" or "Option Group 2" - will be auto-processed by Subler (and correctly ordered as "selectable options" in the on-screen menu of an Apple TV). Subler handles all of those details automatically. Personally, I would check the Subler Pref to "keep alternate groups organized." Ideally, you should not need to know (or even worry about) the *precise order* of every constituent track - video, audio, sub, chapter, etc. On an Apple TV, Audio Tracks and Subtitle Tracks are "selectable" on the on-screen menu. Subler can also handle Chapter tracks and JPEG-video tracks (for Chapters). mkv containers with multiple audio tracks and multiple subtitle tracks (including burned-in subs). Regarding "Alternate Groups" - this is a reference to the "Selectable Options" in the ATV interface. m4a files, then a "downmix" (multi-channel audio to 2-channel audio) should not really be an issue. If you are adding metadata to a previously encoded iTunes. In "Advanced Options," I would un-check the box "Convert AC3 Audio to AAC" (just to be safe). Regarding your first question, the original encoding of an audio track (passed through Subler solely for metadata) will not be "downmixed" - provided that "PASSTHRU" is selected when the source audio track is "added" to the main "track listing" within Subler. Apple requires the presence of BOTH mult-channel (AC3) and 2-channel (AAC) audio tracks, provided you want Dolby Digital 5.1 capability via an ATV. Subler does not encode video, but it will encode (downmix) multi-channel audio to 2-channel audio. I'm not a Subler dev, but I have used the app in my iTunes/ATV workflow for years. ![]() Question 1: Does Subler edit the file only when the options checkable are checked in the Advanced section in Preferences, or? I just want metadata. This is because when I was new to Subler, these setting always confused me because I just wanted to use Subler for metadata, and with options like "Down Mix", it sounded like it edited the file, and not just the metadata, so I left Subler, but now am back with this feedback. Where when its "Disabled" the contents of the the Advanced section wouldn't be shown and if "Enabled" they would. In other feedback, I would wish there was an "Enable" and "Disable" button in the Advanced section of Preferences. CD's to iTunes (import) to Flash Drive to Windows Computer to MP3Tag (Windows only app) to Flash Drive to Mac CD's to iTunes (import) to Subler to iTunes So my new plan for media to digital (If you agree to my feedback) is: Options like iTunes Music Store search (music and music videos) for all sorts of metadata iTunes has, multiple file support in one Subler window (currently if you drag multiple ACC files (Album), into Subler, it creates multiple windows for each file), more music related annotations (BPM, etc), would make Subler have better support for music and defiantly would make it easier. Subler already supports music metadata edits as in manually adding annotations and writing the values but it could be easier. It would be great if Subler would have better support for more than just movie and tv shows, like music. ![]()
