WAV Tagging

[Unregistered]

I love DBPowerAmp, but I would like to be able to use it as a replacement for TurtleBeach's AudioStation to rip WAV files to play on my AudioTron. In order to do this I need DBPowerAmp to support the following WAV tagging format:


WAVE files use a standard RIFF INFO chunk as documented by Microsoft.
So does AudioStation. The only custom bit is the itrk field which we
store the track number in.
AudioStation maps the following data in the INFO chunk:
IART Artist
IGNR Genre
INAM Title
IPRD Album
itrk Track Number - this is an AudioStation extension (noted by the
lower case). This contains a string representation
of the track number (ex. "5" or "09"). Binary
data is not supported.

It is something I have wanted to do for awhile, but I don't think the demand justifies it being bumped to the top of my todo list (it will be done, eventually).

If you could send one such tagged wave file (small) it would help:

forgive my ignorance but does this mean it would essentially create wav tag's? so wav files would be taggable? if so that's something usefull for me at least for tagging wav loop's for music. being able to tag 10,000 wav loops would be great :thumbup: . perhaps uswefull for other people who like recording/mixing tracks/tunes.

WAV tags are an important feature for me. I actually came here looking for a program that can convert from WAV to MP2 and preserve the tags that are already in the WAV files. The conversion from Microsoft ADPCM to MP2 works fine (sounded better than I thought it would) but I am still looking for a solution to convert the tags.

What tagged the wav?

A program called Speedy, which is part of Broadcast Software Inc's radio station automation software. It rips CD's and tags the WAVs for use in their automation software. They also provide a free tag editor, Info Editor, which can be downloaded here:

I've also found a collection of PHP scripts that can read the wav tags:

Thanks, there will be additional work performed on BWF files sometime this year.
