Could you explain why? Advantages?
Sure. In the broadcast industry these tagged files are common; playout systems read them and instantly have all the information they need. For example, one of the systems I use frequently, Simian from Broadcast Systems Inc, works well with WAV files with broadcast wav tags. Just drag a file into a playlist, and all the relevant info is there, not just artist, album and name, but also things like b;m, intro time, out time etc, without needing to keep track of databases or sidecar files.
Starting in the nineties I have built my media library that way, and the good thing about that is that abso.utelt every system can read these files, and many will read the bext chunk in the WAV file and have all the info they need.
Rather then using BSI's Speedy ripper, it would be nice to be able to use MC to rip, and get at least the basic artist, track, and album tags set.
Likewise, it would be nice if I can load the tens of thousands of files I have in this format into JRiver and have it get the Aerostar, album, song title, and track number right.
