Yes, writing the meta data
is supposed to work and it
does work for me.
Please make sure that the meta data was detected correctly by MediaInfo (check "Show Details" on the "Source Files" tab) and also make sure you use a
proper tool to check the encoded file.
I wouldn't trust Windows Explorer on this! I usually use MediaInfo, Winamp and VLC Player for this purpose...
(BTW: Creating a playlist is
only grayed out when "Save output files to the same location where the input file is located" is checked. Where should the playlist file go in that case? ^^)
