You can often ensure this by locating the audio encoder and the metadata-originating system behind the same NAT firewall. I agree with others though that preferred and best practice is always to feed metadata via the source client.</div><br class=""></div><div class="">Cheers!</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><div style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 11px; line-height: normal; font-family: Menlo;" class=""><span style="font-variant-ligatures: no-common-ligatures" class="">|---------------------------------------------------------------------|</span></div><div style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 11px; line-height: normal; font-family: Menlo;" class=""><span style="font-variant-ligatures: no-common-ligatures" class="">| Frederick F.
