No, you cannot tag WAV files in any standard way. > All of the ones ripped from CD's show up as expected as if they had > proper tags. That's because they're in an artist/album/title folder format, which SlimServer uses to guess the tags. > While mp3tag can not deal with the wav files, a program called File > Audio Processor does and shows the tags in the wav files. This is a nonstandard workaround that only that program can use. Since it's nonstandard, it definitely shouldn't add any data to the files because there's no telling how another program will interpret this data. This is not to say that it isn't doing so, in which case it may have screwed up the WAVs. Hopefully it's just using an internal database to relate "tags" to WAVs. This database will be unreadable by other programs. > I have heard that they can be convertted to flac files and then could be > id3 tagged there. How does one go about doing that? Jeff52 listed the easiest program. There's also foobar and the FLAC frontend. All your other problems are related to the fact that these files are not tagged. BTW FLAC encodes DVD-obtained 24 bit/48 kHz material just fine and Squeezebox plays this material back just fine as well. I believe DTS encoding will be preserved too, but I don't have any such FLACs so I can't verify that. -- Mark Lanctot ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mark Lanctot's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2071 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=27406 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/ripping
