Topic: check non-audio box when saving in CEP?

[Chanher]

When you go to save a file in CEP there's a little box you can check whether or not you want to save extra non-audio information.  I unchecked it, can anyone shed some light on the subject?  thanks

There's plenty of light in the CEP Help file.

yeah I know, I always have to use those!  

so I guess I should change my question to this:

what is author/header information or whatever?  is it exactly what it says it is?  do y'all check it?'

thanks Brian, I owe you a few +t's but I need more posts.

I leave the "Save Extra Non-Audio Info" checkbox UNticked.

The non-audio info is just what it sounds like: copyright info, band name, etc.  On the main menu, go to View | Wave Properties, Text tab and you'll see a slew of non-audio data that you could save if you really wanted to.

it also saves cue points, which can be helpful if you've marked certain areas or it's a work in progress.  FWIW, I've noticed that mkwAct will preserve the data if you compress to shn, whereas flac throws it out.

thanks guys, imaginary +t's
