I have run into an issue with modifying the metadata in .wav files in Windows Explorer using the added properties that dbPoweramp Music Converter/Ripper adds to the properties window. On .wav files created by recording in Sony Sound Forge Pro 11, attempts to add some metadata tags such as compilation and album artist fail to be saved, using the "add tag" feature in the "ID-Tag" window. They also fail to survive when changed in the "Details" window. Files created by my digital recorder, even when edited by Sound Forge Pro, or even "saved as" and then further edited do not have this issue, you can add and save these metadata tags.
If I "clear" the ID tag, (in that window) and start from scratch, the tags can be added and saved successfully, but, of course, I loose what was put in there by Sound Forge (my copyright data, and my name as an engineer, plus a couple of other things Sound Forge adds, like date and time.) Obviously, if I put the title and artist in using Sound Forge, I have to do that over as well.
I know that Sound Forge , as well as other editing software I use also store markers and regions in the metadata, as it travels between software when I save in one program and open in the other (most notably Izotope RX).
Any idea why this is happening, and any work around short of clearing the ID tag and re-entering?
