Convert WAV to CDA?

[DDJJ]

Is there a way to process WAV files using dbPA so that I can "re-rip" the related CD in CD Ripper so that I get all of the metadata (using Perfect Meta)? Convert the WAV files to CDA files so that CD Ripper thinks it's looking at a CD?? My goal is to attach all of the appropriate metadata to the WAV file which was not done when converting the original CDs (now gone) were converted to WAV using iTunes. If this doesn't make sense, let me know. Thanks!

.CDA is not really a CD it is a pretend file (.cda files are 1KB where as a CD is 600,000KB)

Understood. But is there a way to "fool" dbPA CD Ripper into thinking that my WAV files are on a CD so I can get dbPA to write the various meta tags using Perfect Meta to the WAV files? (without actually burning the WAV files to a CD)

Thanks.

This would be extremely useful to me right now! I've got gigs of wav files for which I need meta data. Is there anyway to retrieve these tags without re-ripping all my cd's?

Perhaps you could use VirtualCD?

Do the wav file names have correct info (ie track number, name, etc) and/or directory structure is good (artist/album). If so you can create metadata from file info in mp3tag and I'm guessing from dbpa. But I suppose you don't want to use the old info and instead want "new" metadata or at least more complete.
