Post by: Griff on March 02, 2006, 11:36:34 am

Fresh sys and fresh install.

imported 1 dir. of wma and wav, albums.

after import, notice 173 files in unassigned.

These were all wav files.

Ck. file associations and wav was checked.

Something change ?

Thanks

A little more info.

MC11.1 ver 111135 from top of forum page.

Artist/ album/ trk no. fields are not being picked up from dir/file names, for wav files on import.
(names are)

Wma are ok.

A rename prop. from dir/file names corrects this.

Any reason this is happening ?

WAV files have no tags.  Does that explain what you're seeing?

Thanks for the reply.

Forgot about that.

So basically, there is no way to import wav fields via dir/file structure ?

Without going the long route.

Thanks

What you did is the only way I can think of.  It's not too difficult to do.

If highlight the files in MC, right click and go to Library Tools->fill properties from filenames you should be able to tag the files correctly from the directory structure and filenames.
