How to edit AAC tags? Can it be done by ATE?

There is no standard tagging format for raw ADTS AAC, although some taggers can stick Id3 tags on them, which can result in them not playing properly.  The best way to handle them is to losslessly put them into an M4A wrapper, after which they will accept standard MP4 tags.

This command line will losslessly convert all *.aac files within the directory it is executed to *.m4a files using ffmpeg.  No re-encoding of the original stream(s) is done, only the mpeg4/Apple m4a wrapper applied, which then allows any modern tagging application to correctly apply mp4 format tags to the files.  Original filenames will be kept, as well as the original *.aac files:

Code: [Select]

FOR %F IN (*.aac) DO C:\ffmpeg\bin\ffmpeg.exe -i "%F" -codec copy "%~nF.m4a"
Replace the sample ffmpeg.exe path to wherever you have it installed on your PC.
