No problem! It's hard to convey the subtleties of the spoken word in written form regardless of the language. I do regret just a little bit the fact that you and I are on the same page with respect to audiophile nonsense since if you happened to be a true believer then I could have made up something to explain why tagged files sound worse than untagged files. Let's see how does this sound: The reason why tagged files sound worse than untagged files is because of the added load on the CPU that tagging presents. With an untagged wav or aiff file the musical data flows uninterrupted, whereas with a tagged wav or aiff file the CPU must interrupt the flow of the musical data to read and process the tag information (data). This interruption happens at regular intervals, hence the typewriter like sound that one hears, provided of course that one is a highly trained, golden eared audiophile. Because of this I now listen to only untagged wav files and in order to get the information that would be contained in a tagged file I use my iPhone to identify the music that is playing and read the information from my iPhone. Works great!
