Converting to MP3 from Flac Meta data lyrics lost [#21686]

Post by GlassJoe »

Running 3162
When converting to mp3 only the first few lines of lyrics are ported over.
This happens when converting entire library over.
Doing one song at a time works fine.
I'm doing something wrong?

Are you manually converting files or are you seeing this during Sync? What are you converting from?

Does the problem exhibit itself with just 2 files or do you need to convert more?

Under tools
Using the convert format
Entire library from FLAC to MP3

Only first 9 lines of lyrics are in the MP3

Why would you convert MP3's to Flac? you wouldn't gain anything, the extra lossless data is already lost if you are starting with MP3's.
