Some friendly advice: don't waste your time getting WAV "tagging" to work. It was just never designed to accommodate it.
Encode to FLAC or just about anything else. I can't help you with your identification issues. Since I use FLAC, I don't have any. Maybe someone else can. barrygordon;136519 Wrote: > With regard to flac, If I convert the dts wav files to flac (assuming I > can do that directly without having to rip them again, suggestions > appreciated) will I loose any sound quality?

You can try a test: make one test FLAC file, then have SlimServer transcode it to WAV in Server Settings - File Types (i.e. uncheck "FLAC -> FLAC (built-in)" and keep "FLAC -> WAV" checked. Listen to it transcoded and then with the "built-in" option re-enabled. If you do notice a difference, is it enough to deal with the continuing pain of trying to organize WAV files? Apparently some people in the 'audiophiles' (http://forums.slimdevices.com/forumdisplay.php?f=7) forum can notice a difference, but (and I'm going to get flamed for this) some of those people notice a difference with the following too: http://www.referenceaudiomods.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=NOB_C37_C&Category_Code=VOLUME&Product_Count=2 Theoretically there should be no difference. Lossless is lossless. You don't have to re-rip to encode to FLAC. Just use one of the programs already mentioned. If you're nervous, set the program not to delete the WAV file, although once you encode to FLAC you can always go back to the original WAV by decoding. -- 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
