Re: Tag wav files? and more
I have seriously hard tagging questions. Lots of issues.
We work in a variety of formats and they must stay as that format. So 96/24/2.0 files are tagged with LIST and ID3 with Album Art. This is the best I can seem to do with anything (including Tag&Rename, etc...) and it doesn't work in anything (iTunes). Also, an older version of dB seemed to write a BEXT v1 chunk, but that is now gone but probably not needed. The dB configuration for WAV tags may have the answer. Is there some way of setting this so it will work with iTunes? We also have 96/24/5.1 files to tag, and I have had trouble getting dB to even get the cover to stick, though this seems to happen when I don't get a ID3 chunk. I usually tag the WMA lossless files first and then convert to WAV from that. Some times I only get the LIST chunk, but sometimes I get both the LIST and ID3. If I only have the LIST chunk the album art can be added but it won't stick (I think).
I thought I had the cover showing in WinAMP, but no more. It does show the some of the Metadata. Itunes won't read anything, which makes sorting impossible.
All our albums appear on DVD-Audio or SACD, so there is no CD database and never will be. We are looking to getting our catalog to AMG a they will at least do it from DVD.
Lastly, and sorry off topic, it seems WMA covers are embedded into the folder structure with invisible files that don't even show up when you choose Explorer's Show Hidden Files. But they also seem to get embedded in the files, but only sometimes. Any hints? It takes a year and day to embed covers into each file one at a time.
Thanks in advance!
