I have just started to use the Live Show Tagger in foobar.
I have no problem doing it but I have a question.
I will also cross post this in the LMA thread too because it's part of it.
When I tag my flac files should I also tag my wavs.
I ask because when I upped tagged flacs to LMA the vbr derivitaves
weren't tagged. As in the music player they use there.
So I decoded one flac and the wav when played in foobar isn't tagged either.
New to tagging
Can't TAG WAV, or at least not that I know of...
Terry
thx t
yep you can't tag wave. but the mp3's should retain the tags for sure. that is assuming they convert flac > mp3 with no wave step.
for the LMA, the derivative mp3 files get their tags only from the metadata that you manually enter after uploading and before final check-in. it doesn't matter what tags the FLAC files have, or if they are tagged at all, you need to fill in all that metadata in the check-in process if you want the derived mp3 files to be tagged.

Question: Is Traders Little Helper supposed to do this??? I FLAC>MP3 all the time with TLH and have never noticed that it kept any tags, though I don't really pay that close attention...
Thanks,

Some audio editors, Samplitude for sure, will tag WAV files. I do it all the time so I know it works. It will also export individual tracks with tags or part of the entire CD with a TOC and cue sheet. The LT version is not all that expensive unless all you want it for is tagging. It is a very good editor.

Correct - so the only tags are band, date/venue, and track number.

don't know. I don't do it much but when I do I use dbpoweramp to make mp3's. it keeps the tags.
