Hi all,

I used EAC (after reading all the great stuff about it) to extract my CDs to WAV files. Since hard drive space is not an issue, I decided there isn't any need for compression.

However I noticed that these files don't have any ID3 tags?!

I did the same extraction using iTunes to WAV format and these WAV files seem to have ID3 tags.

Couple of questions:

1. Is there any downside of leaving all my audio in WAV format (besides of course the disk space)

2. How do I get ID3 tags when I extract audio using EAC?

Thanks

Wav is just a container for PCM audio and it does not support ID3 tags.

OK. I don't want to seem like I am questioning your knowledge but how come the WAV files extracted by iTunes have this info?

maybe it's reading the metadata from the directory. so it ripped into artist/album/tracknr - song title and it reads it back, but if you ripped to folder/artist - title then it wont read all that.
