Questions / WAV conversion options

« on: October 30, 2022, 12:50:04 PM »

I would like to specify the sample rate and bit depth when converting to WAV format. Is it possible to add custom parameters for converting files to WAV?

In Preferences > File Converters there are configuration options for most audio file types apart from WAV. If a WAV section was available I could use ffmpeg to set the bit depth and sample rate.

Questions / WAV decrease sample size and sample rate

« on: October 27, 2022, 12:30:30 PM »

I have some music that is 24-bit, 96kHz WAV which I would like to convert down to 16-bit and 48/44.1kHz. I know that the Convert Format function allows resampling to 44.1kHz but there is no option to set the bit depth. Is this possible using MusicBee or a plugin?

I thought perhaps ]ffmpeg might be able to do this by running something like this example [source]

Code

ffmpeg -i input.wav -ar 44100 output.wav

but how can I get this command to run on a file or multiple files from within MusicBee?

Questions / AAC with ID3 tags

« on: January 25, 2022, 02:24:42 AM »

I have heard rumours that AAC files can hold ID3 tags instead of the minefields that are the MPEG4 tags. Is it possible to convert between tag types in MusicBee, for as many tags as are compatible?

Portable Devices / On-the-fly convert only one file type

« on: January 24, 2022, 10:19:56 PM »

I have a range of audio file types to sync to a device. I would like to leave all MP3 and WAV files as they are, but convert any M4As to AAC.

Is it possible to set a rule that only one type of file is converted using on-the-fly conversion?

Questions / Get track length and write to TLEN ID3 tag

« on: January 09, 2022, 05:30:48 AM »

I would like all my audio files to have their length embedded into their ID3 tags. ID3 V2 has the TLEN field for this purpose, but it's often not populated by encoders.
Is it possible for MusicBee to take the calculated track length in milliseconds and write it to the TLEN tag?
