Orlando Florida. www.digido.com While it's true that you can get wav files tagged with ID3.1 tags to work with SC it's still not the best tag. Also you don't know what other programs it will work with. The real thing would be to get ID3v2.3, or vorbis tags to work and work with all programs. Probably not going to happen. If you want some real info on this I would go to hydrogenaudio.org for this kind of thing as your post said experts. By that right of course I shouldn't be posting but I have to ask how the volume wars got started with great engineers like yourself on the scene? Did you just get pushed aside by the record companies? It would be interesting reading to hear it from the experts.
