How To Embed Album Art In Ripped WAV Files?

[Wickedfox]

In dbpoweramp control center I have tagging set to ID3, yet when I rip a album and play it through windows media player, the album art doesn't come up. Does WMP not read those tags or am I missing something? I also have the tag album art selected in the CDGrab tagging settings. Im gonna put the files on a DAP / Mp3 player (Hiby R4) and I want to know if it'll show up or not before going through and ripping everything and transferring everything over

Im on Windows 11 by the way

Only a few programs will read ID3v2 tags from wave files, WMP is not one of them, so in short WMP cannot read album art from any wave file.

Your right. VLC media player can read it though. Having ID3 album art enabled won't effect sound quality right?

No

Is there a special reason why you use WAV files and not flac files? Flac files have the same audio quality (lossless) as WAV files, but have advantages concerning metadata or integrity check.

Call me crazy, but I think wav files sound better. Plus the KBPS on wav is higher than flac. Wav is also the industry standard so I just go with it. I have a 2tb micro sd card for my player with over 2,000 wav files and it's not even near filled up. Everyone has their preference and mine is wav.
