Transcoding FLAC files replaces original metadata with an old project, can't remove old tags

[#1]

THe native flac handling has gotten much better, but for the last few versions I've noticed if i take a flac file and alter it (usually just downsampling from 24/96 to 16/44.1 - the embedded metadata gets replaced by some lingering old metadata i did well almost 2 years ago (song name, artist, year, etc... )

How do I reset or delete this? Where's it stored and why is it not keeping the original metadata in the first place?

Thanks.

Not sure why it's doing that, but FLAC is essentially an 'external' codec, and it might have something to do with version changes over time. The only place you can alter metadata in Audition is Window>metadata, but how exactly this works with FLAC isn't entirely straightforward. Whatever is stored appears to be accessible under XMP, and it's an integral part of the file structure. But be aware that FLAC encoding/decoding is included in libsndfile, and that is externally maintained. You might need to talk to libsndfile directly for more information about this. A good starting point is here - I believe he's quite friendly!
