Hello everyone, I have a problem when tagging an album, the name of the artist does not appear in WMP in WAV archives, the name of the song and the album appears, but not the artist. I have tried to review the fields in Mp3tag, but I can't find the way to get the artist's name to appear. Does anyone know what may be happening? Thanks in advance. ---

WMP doesnt recognize tags for WAV files, as this is not standard for the format. It needs to be an audio format like FLAC, ALAC, OGG, m4a, mp3, etc. ---
