I've used FLAC and it works just fine, WAV is quite similar but it has no support whatsoever, why?

So your ripping program produced an invalid wav file.

Please have a look at the supported file formats: Mp3tag - the universal Tag Editor (ID3v2, MP4, OGG, FLAC, ...) Mp3tag is a powerful and easy-to-use tool to edit metadata of audio files.

It says WAV is a supported audio format and when I try to edit metadata it doesn't work. [image]

... which means: especially as the file format is supported nothing like a valid wav file could be detected. Please check your file for consistency.

That file may have the file extension "wav" but the format of the file does not comply with the format defined for wav files. You would have to check the audio part and see what is wrong with the file. After that has been corrected it will be most likely that you can tag the file with MP3tag.

Have you checked the file and even better resaved it with an audio editor?

I didn't touch anything, just ripped from the CD. I can upload it if you want to.

User-defined Tools FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)

Example — Re-encode WAV using ffmpeg Some WAV files have an invalid structure or extra junk bytes at some RIFF chunks so re-encoding the file might fix the problems. You can use the excellent ffmpeg command line utility as a user-defined tool from within Mp3tag.
