Ok, so i am new here, am pretty good with tech stuff and mp3tag seems fairly easy to use, BUT.......
Having set covers for some of my tracks, I am using one in particular to test.
Here is my sequence:
1. Added a music directory
2. selected a track
3. Right click and added a cover image
4. Added artist tags etc etc
5. saved using the save icon
6. Opened itunes
7. add file from library and synced my iphone
Heres the problem.......
No tags or image appears on my iphone or in car infotainment system
WHY??
Where am i going wrong or what process have i missed out???
I thought this was going to be easy!!!
Thanks in advance

As far as I see from the screenshot: there are a lot of flac files that do not have any tag data.
Then there are a fair number of wav files - and AFAIK iTunes does not support tags in wav files. It is probably the same in your car.

Thanks.
Forget the flac files and all the other files, I am just testing on the one file called She, as highlighted in the image.
Firstly, I don't know what you mean by AFAIK?? I am very very new to all this, so I have no idea what that stands for or how it impacts on what I am trying to do. Are you saying that I can't use wav files to add to my library?? in actual fact, its the only file that will go onto my phone, flac files can't be synced by itunes, and only wav files can..... so i am trying to work with a wav file to simply have the cover version of my own tracks that i create appearing on my iphone and in my car rather than a blank appearing which is just nasty.
Can this be done or not?

AFAIK = as far as I know (see perhaps this external page:

That is what learned about iTunes.

> Hi. I have nearly 1000 files recorded in a WAV files format which have tags for artist/title etc but want to import them to iTunes. Can I use MP3TAG to convert the WAV tags to ID3v2.2 ? I guess it may be simple but just need pointing in the right direction. Also can I batch convert them?

> Hi. Firstly, apologies as I am a new user and this may be a stupid question. I have used the filename - tag functionality and I can see the properties of my wav files have been updated with the tags. However, when I play the files in iTunes, the tags don't appear to be working. For example, all the artists appear in my library as 'Unknown Artist'. If someone could help that would be greatly appreciated. Thanks,
