Title: WAV Tagging -- Can it be done
Post by: boojum on January 07, 2008, 12:07:13 AM

Is there a way to tag WAV files.  When I get a CD the tracks are tagged.  Is there anyway to do that on my PC??

from how i understand, wav files are not capable of holding the tags...  but FLAC and MP3 can hold the tags....

WAV doesn't have TAGs...  However, some burners and players allow you to use CDText.  My Alpine reads the File Name as the Song Name, etc...

There are several tagging standards for WAV, not just BWF. This tag editor (http://www.digitalconfidence.com/MetadataTouch.html) for example supports five (INFO; XMP; Broadcast Audio Extension; iXML; Cart Chunk)
