Need Help in having Itunes Tag 1 Tb of lssless Wav

I had my whole library as WAV setup like this:

/Artist/Album/Trackname

First I used dBpoweramp to batch convert them to ALAC (as a copy) preserving the directory structure.

Second I used Mp3tag to derive tags from the directory structure in batches.

Now I have an ALAC library with tags.

Also if you have album art stored as a jpeg in the album folder, you can use mp3tag to add the album art.

I had sub-directories for jazz, classical pop ect. I batch converted one genre at a time. Then, with mp3 tag, you can select all and change the genre. So just sort your wav's into genres. I didn't tag the year. Various artists can be tags as various or done manually. Adding the album art took the longest.

One word of warning: Avoid very long file names, especially for classical as window has a limit on path length and you might have problems doing batch conversion and batch file tagging if the name is too long.

Michael,

I agree, Wav files should be discouraged. I thought it was a good idea to rip to wavs a few years ago because itunes didn't support FLAC and ALAC wasn't handled natively on the squeezebox 3 at the time.

Now I would reccomend FLAC or ALAC, just pick one, dBpoweramp can always batch convert from one to the other.
