Hello,
All my songs are organised in my hardrive without tag using a directory player (1by1)
like c:\placebo\Black Market Music\12 - Peeping Tom.wav

itunes looks like best right now for aac encode.

I cannot find a simple way to have "Artist" "Album" imported inside itunes from the location

I have read the faq about nero and media center.

Any simpler solution ?

What I think possible is:

- use a tagger program like media center, then export the library (xml or txt)
- import wav inside itunes
- export itunes library in xml
- modify this with the prevous export (adding artist, album)
- import inside itunes
- convert to aac ...
- ipod

Any idea ?
Maybe I miss something ?

Thanks in advance
Francois

No answer ... , but I found a solution

1.- import wav inside itunes
2.- export to library.xml
3.- parse it with this unix like program (cygwin)
----------------
m_f="e:/itunes/sed.txt"
m_l="e:/library.xml"

rm $m_f

fgrep -i "f:/mp3" $m_l|awk -F"/" '{print $7,$8,$9}'|grep 'wav$' | while read m_;do

m_ar=`echo $m_|awk '{print $1}' |tr -s %20 " "`
m_al=`echo $m_|awk '{print $2}' |tr -s %20 " "`
m_t=`echo $m_|awk '{print $3}'`

echo $m_ar $m_al $m_t

echo "/"$m_t"/i\\" >> $m_f
echo "<key>Artist</key><string>"$m_ar"</string>\\" >> $m_f
echo "<key>Album</key><string>"$m_al"</string>" >> $m_f

done
sed -f $m_f $m_l > e:/lib2.xml
-----------------------
4.- import lib2.xml
5.- convert to m4a

good bye
François

I just want to say: excellent work marae! Thank you for spending the time to figure out how to do this - I know that sooner or later I will need to be able to do this when importing untagged wavs.
