![]() ![]() ![]() I think AIF files use ID3 tags to store metadata whereas Flac files use Vorbis comments. #Asset upnp no embedded art downloadNo conversion issues then talhough the size of the download may create problems in itself. BTW, as I mentioned before you likely can go back to the vendor of your 24/192 FLAC file and download it again as AIFF without having to buy it again. ![]() Of course next time you download any 24/192 file you should do this as AIFF and not FLAC. I believe that the International Federation of the Phonographic Industy ( IFPI, the international trade body of the record companies) has made a statement to this effect but I do not know the music publishers’ official stance. The private making of single copies for technical reasons from a copy legitimately purchased by the copyist is unlikely to attract the rights owner’s attention. The rights owners ( record companies and music publishers) would not find it economically justifiable to pursue a claim against you in this respect and, I suspect, would have no desire to do so as it would likely cost them more in legal fees then they could recoup from any damages awarded. However you should regard this as a technical infringement only. So from a strict point of view you most likely are infringing copyrights in both sound recording and musical work. However the EU harmonisation of copyright law ensured that all Member State’s legislation provides similar protection in this respect ( I am overlooking Poland’s current impasse over the primacy of EU law). I do not know if I am not breaking copyright law when converting, NB: For those with purchased downloaded 24/192 FLAC files where this issue is a problem just a reminder that most vendors will allow you to go to your account and “refresh” your download in e.g. However there are too few 24/192 files that play continuously across track boundaries to establish this. If so and if this is the cause the issue it should also be inconsistent. That would suggest that these are likely to vary substantially. Of course the size of the image is down to the record label who provide the original file to Qobuz. However is more than the front cover artwork included? It is certainly all that is displayed. Of course exactly how Qobuz streams the hi-res FLAC files within a limited bandwidth is not public information ( I assume it is some kind of adaptive bitstreaming). In that case the suggested workarounds would not seem to be applicable. Unfortunately the issue relates not only to local files but to hi-res streams 24/192 from Qobuz. We recommend looking at programs like Media Monkey, Audacity and JRiver which allow you to search their database for the correct info and simply drag and drop in the album artwork you’re missing.Thanks James. There are a number of programs you can use to track down missing metadata. #Asset upnp no embedded art manualWe’ll be honest with you, there isn’t exactly a quick way of doing it as there will be some form of manual input required. This might be easier if you know the layout of your folders on your device like the back of your hand. If you’re not into the metadata method, some UPnP servers let you go ‘old school’ by allowing you to search by folder, although this is where your files will need to be named and organised. You’ll need to make sure your files are available on a UPnP server which can either be on a NAS drive or through programmes such as Asset or Twonky on your computer (although Twonky sends album art at a lower resolution rate). So if that same music collection is dumped into one hard drive in a random order but with all the metadata fields filled in, it’ll allow you to breeze through your collection by artist, genre song or by any other data you choose. This is where UPnP browsing comes into play. UPnP (or Universal Plug and Play) network streamers like our CXN, 851N and and Stream Magic 6 rely heavily on the categorised metadata in your audio files. If you were to try and navigate these files by a certain album or artist on one of our network players with blank metadata fields it would be impossible. Let’s say your music collection is all dumped into one hard drive in a random order. ![]() And when there’s no vinyl or CD in sight, seeing that album artwork on the screen is the next best thing. If you’ve ever had a track come up as ‘Unknown’ or where the album artwork is missing on the screen of your network player, it’s because of the lack of metadata within the file. Network players like our CXN use metadata to browse and play your music. It’s important if you want to locate and play music around your home. ![]()
