I understand this may be pointless, and have since become more familiar with FLAC and realize it is an excellent choice of format that allows more versatility. Fact of it is - I have already ripped a LOT of discs in WAV and will probably continue in this way for uniformity. All the ID tags, indexing, etc. work perfectly and without a hitch in my Sonos system so I don't see FLAC providing me with any functionality that I need or don't already have. FLAC conversion may happen at some point...but not now.
That being said, I'd still like to be able to simply get the track numbers to register properly for editing my un-tagged WAV files, but I suppose I may simply convert the few discs, LP transfers, etc. that are in un-tagged WAV format to FLAC to make this happen.
Still...to keep the conversation on topic, if anyone can give me an solution to the problem, that would be most appreciated!
