    Id3 tags in wav

    Hi,

    I’m trying to extract metadata from some of my wav files.
    As I understand, id3 tags can’t be written to wav files, but cdripper does anyway.
    Where are the tags written in the riff chunk?
    For example I suppose a UPC tag is written to TXXX:UPC or something similar, but wav doesn’t support that field.

    dBpoweramp will write an ID3v2
    tag to wave files which support all ID tags.

      Yeah, I noticed.
      im trying to figure out where in the file structure id3 is written.
      I have tried using a script to read all id3 tags, but I get nothing.
      It looks like they are written in the LIST chunk, but with id3 tags such as TALB, TIT2, etc. instead of IPRD, INAM, etc.
      while I don’t get how it’s possible, I’m even more curious on where the TXXX tags are stored.

        They are written in a specific wave riff chunk:

        'ID3 '

        and

        'LIST' for the limited tag
