Apparently MP3Tag doesn't work reliably on WAV files in a batch mode (highlighting/changing multiple at the same time). Or it's just way too picky and how it handles/reads/writes meta tags to them. MP3Tag: inconsistent, failed 3/4 of the time for me Adobe Audition: inconsistent, failed 1/2 of the …

[image] cipher_nemo: And by failed to write, I mean that MP3Tag sees the data, but nothing else including File Explorer, XYplorer, and Adobe Audition I would say that this indicates much more that the other programs fail to cope with tags in wav files. So the failure is not in MP3tag but in o…

[image] cipher_nemo: The funny part is MP3Tag stills sees the meta data on those files. Good to see you are back and looking for a solution. If you are able to open these files from mp3tag and still see the updated tag info, then it must be properly embedded by mp3tag. For the other program…

[image] MotleyG: The funny part is MP3Tag stills sees the meta data on those files. [/quote]For the other programs that cannot "see" this data I would look into those separately. Some have a local database that may need to be refreshed with this new data. Some just don't play nicely with metada…

[image] cipher_nemo: I'm done with my project's sound files, so I won't be testing that again with MP3Tag. But in the future I'll use ExifTool to read/write meta data since it's easy to script with that. Exiftool does not write ID3 tags.
