Need Help in having Itunes Tag 1 Tb of lssless Wav

There's nothing wrong with .WAV files if you're not going to use iTunes. If I had all those files I'd ditch the Mac Mini save myself some work. Windoze or Linux can pop PCM out a USB port.

Herman, I may have drifted from the OPs issue, but sonically there's nothing wrong with .WAV files. If you need tags, well, there is something wrong. I use .WAV files and have no problems organizing my music to my liking.

Herman, I'm not trying to argue about anything.

2nd post said: Every time I see someone here advise using WAV files "because they sound better" (NOT validated by my own tests, by the way) I cringe. And this is why: WAV files have no standard way for tagging the file with the song title, composer, artist, etc. So they end up as meaningless files scattered across someone's hard drive."

I was just adding to that. I have a portable USB drive that is a subset of my collection that I consider suitable for serious listening on a decent setup. I use .WAV and all I need to know to select the songs are artist, album and song. Nothing else matters to me. There's nothing wrong with using some other file format if you want to store more meta data.

Now, I could go on about how I think iTunes is a waste of time on a system dedicated to playback, but that's something else entirely - and somewhat subjective. :)

Yes, Herman, argument wasn't the best choice but I was in a hurry. It just shows a major flaw in internet discussion vs face to face. Something that would be over in seconds takes days. :)

I do use iTunes to manage stuff for my iPod, but it's too much of a beast for my netbook front end in my system.
