iPod classic aiff format metadata - recipe for problems?

Amadeus read the aiff with metadata just fine

Are you talking here about an AIFF exported by Audacity?

@audio_pete

save as aiff
but then metadata is lost.

Save as AIFF in what application? If you have a problem with Amadeus you’ll need to contact them.

@audio_pete

Peak read the first split fine
save as aiff
but the subsequent files seemed “bad” to Peak.
Get a threepeat of
Macintosh Error -39
end of file Unable to complete requested action. Setting file position.
and ending with
This audio file is either invalid or you do not have adequate permissions to open it.
Peak read the third WAV file just fine.

Peak is no longer made so you’re stuck with whatever it does.

What is a “threepeat”?

@audio_pete

Maybe Audacity is not splitting the file nicely???

So is the issue now not with AIFF files playing on iPod, but with AIFF files exported from Audacity using Export Multiple?

If you export a single AIFF from a whole track, with all metadata fields completed, do Amadeus and Peak have the same problem?
