Title: How to tag WAV file
Post by: Kman on April 08, 2010, 10:44:58 pm: I have added tag information to my WAV file by MC14.
Unfortunately, I clear my library database carelessly.
As I re-import my music file (which store in harddisk of same PC), I found all the tag information which I added before was loss.
Is there any method to tag WAV file permanently?

Thanks.

That begs the question, why is this not on by default?

We're being conservative.

The WAV tagging standard isn't as widely supported as the tags for other lossless formats like APE and FLAC.

That's old information.
Meaning it is no longer accurate?

Post by: MrC on January 21, 2013, 11:34:29 am: JRiver was concerned about writing WAV tags due to lack of standard. So tag writing to WAV was disabled by default. It was enabled in MC 17:

17.0.28 (11/3/2011)

15. Changed: WAV & AIFF tagging are enabled by default (use Plug-in Manager > Input > WAVE & AIFF > Configure to change).
