[Note] ALAC stems can't be read on Windows within Traktor #19

I wanted to create an issue here to document the fact that Traktor does not currently support ALAC stems on windows despite NI being the creator of the stem spec.

See: https://community.native-instruments.com/discussion/13298/lossless-stems-on-windows

While this is not actually in issue with Stemgen, it is probably a bug that many users of this tool will face. So be aware of this issue before you submit a bug report to Stemgen and upvote the issue above if possible.

I want to note that there is the ability to replace the two instances of ‘alac’ with ‘aac’ — but I don’t recall where exactly in the code one would make that change (in order for windows users to create AAC stems instead of apple lossless stems)

A good point. If you don't mind using a lossy format then Traktor for windows can handle aac stems just fine.

Thank you @nickpainter. Indeed I'm explicitly keeping this as the default behavior so that people complain to NI so they eventually fix this issue.

@anderother you can change this line parser.add_argument('-f', dest='FORMAT', default='alac', to parser.add_argument('-f', dest='FORMAT', default='aac', to update the default behavior (but please upvote and send a message to Native Instruments).

Traktor Pro 4 now includes stem separation! I just created a new thread to voice this issue: https://community.native-instruments.com/discussion/33853/lossless-stems. Please make yourself heard if lossless stems matters to you :)

Mixxx dev team is working hard on stem integration and will support M4A stem files!
