I am a new owner of the Squeezebox Touch and am trying to manage a pretty large (over 1600) albums, some of which are flac and some of which are wav. I have ripped my CDs using Windows Media Player and chose wav for those (flac was not an option...and I did not know about flac at that time). I am using mp3tag to add tags to flac files that are not properly tagged. However, I have not found a way to make Logitech Media Server recognize Albumartist for the wav files; I only see the track artists for the wav files (and many of the wav files do not have the track artists filled in, so I end up with a lot of "Unknown Artist" files. Finally, my questions:
1. How should I handle the tagging of the wav files? Should I convert them to flac in order to use mp3tag? If so, how do I do that? Which software should I use? I do not see any way to do that with Windows Media Player or other software that I have. Should I leave the wav files as wav files and use other software to tag them? I have been reripping some of the CDs in Windows Media Player in order to fill in the Artists column (to avoid the Unknown Artist problem) but then I wind up with "Various Artists" as the album artist, which is not what I want. 2. It appears that in the future I should rip CDs to flac rather than to wav. Is that right? If so, which software is best for doing that? Windows Media Player does not offer flac as an alternative. As far as I can determine Windows Media Player is the only software I have for ripping CDs. I will appreciate any advice you are able to offer. I fear that I have wasted a lot of time trying to make wav files work with Media Server and I need to figure out how to do this right before proceeding further. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ jdt7385's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=56306 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=95312 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
