writing tags into WAV files

Hi,

How do you actually write tags into WAV files with the new plugin?  

I used the "Update Tags (from Library)" menu item. Then I used Windows Media Player and MediaMonkey to look into the .wav files, but didn't see any tags got added / updated.   I've already enabled "Write tags to WAVE files" in the plugin configuration dialog box.

Am I missing something?

Alex B:
I don't think you are missing anything - WMP is (it does not support wave tagging). Probably your other program has the same problem.

Here is what I wrote a couple of weeks ago:

"NEW: ID3v2 tagging in WAVE and AIFF files."

I have helped JRiver and tested this feature in several ways. It seems to work pretty well now. Outside MC there are not many programs or devices that can access tags in WAVE or AIFF files, but at least the tags should be compatible with dBpoweramp (WAVE and AIFF), Tag&Rename (WAVE) and iTunes (AIFF).

WAVE and AIFF tagging is disabled by default. You can enable it in Tools > Plug-in Manager > Input > WAV plugin > Configure...

Since there are no universally accepted standard for storing tags in WAVE files I recommend checking compatibility with your programs and player devices before tagging lots of files.

AIFF tagging should be compatible with iTunes and thus it can be said to follow Apple's standard.

Thanks for the clarification.  I was also trying to see if MediaMonkey could read the tags saved by MC14.  Now I understand that MediaMoneky must've used a different format.  (Windows Media Player reads tags written by MediaMonkey.)

Interestingly though, if I clear a field in MC14 and do "Update Library (from Tags)", the value returned to MC14 would be from MediaMonkey's write and not from ID3v2 tags written by MC14.

Hi there....

Sorry to jump onto an old thread, I came from my new thread here:
http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=64765.0

So with version 16.0.111:

1) Follow :

http://wiki.jriver.com/index.php/WAV_%26_AIFF_Tagging

...and editing a tag (artist and title) for a WAV file the values persist for JR Media.

However if I go to the file in Windows Explorer, right click, properties, Details... No changes are made (which is what Windows Media Picks up).

Are you saying that the metadata that Windows 7 explorer picks up for wav is not supported? :(

Thanks... :)

Matt:
WMP and Windows Explorer probably don't read WAV tags.
