Just to expand slightly on amcluesent's reply, essentially the wav file format does not support tags. When you ask slimserver to look at a directory of wav files it tries to work out the tagging by itself using some rules based on examining the directory structure. So, depending upon how you have organised your tunes into folders and sub-folders, you will get different (and most likely incorrect) answers.
The conventional solution to this is to compress the wav files to the FLAC format which does allow (extensive) tagging, plus such goodies as replaygain, and now cover art embedding, whilst both preserving ALL of the information in the original wav file and saving you about 50% of the storage space. Furthermore, the SB "speaks" FLAC and so you can stream to it in this format (helping with the limited bandwidth of some wireless set ups)and have it decode and play right in the box. One downside for some people is that it makes use of iTunes difficult. But, to be honest, I've never really understood why anybody needs iTunes with a Squeezebox anyway. davep -- davep ------------------------------------------------------------------------ davep's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=61 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=37035 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/ripping
