OptimFROG blind tags about atldotnet

OptimFROG still provides better compression. As long as it remains so, it cannot be considered obsolete.

The necromancy is to use something like "RKau lossless compressor", which is not the best at anything. But that didn't stop the ffmpeg team from adding its support in version 6.0.

Great suggestion - I've just done that 😄

Now the default for Settings.DefaultTagsWhenNoMetadata is MetaDataIOFactory.TagType.RECOMMENDED, which adapts to every audio format. Recommendation for OFR is APE, of course.

Alright, thanks for your feedback. Talking about optimFROG is almost necromancy xD I'll see what I can do

Looks like there are multiple factors at play here :

• When writing to an audio file without any metadata, ATL uses the Settings.DefaultTagsWhenNoMetadata property to determine which tag types it should write. Default value is { MetaDataIOFactory.TagType.ID3V2, MetaDataIOFactory.TagType.NATIVE}, which means ATL writes ID3v2 values to empty OFR files.

NB : "Native" means "any non-standard tagging system native to the audio format" such as what MP4/M4A and WMA use.

• MP3tag seems to be unable to read ID3v2 data from OFR files. The latest foobar2000 OFR plugin does, though.

• When changing the default settings to write APE tags on empty files, everything seems to work fine

Settings.DefaultTagsWhenNoMetadata = new[] { MetaDataIOFactory.TagType.APE };

Can you confirm that on your side?

[Agagamand]

I confirm.

It seems to me that it would be better if ATL would default to APEv2 for . ofr, so that no additional setting.
