the tagging issue with WAV is that there is no tag standard for wav and every player does it different. Thus the main advantage for FLAC (good tagging). And both Wav and FLAC are lossless. Lossless=lossless, so there is no sound quality difference one way or the other. for tagging, this tells me that your tags must have an ARTISTSORT or ALBUMARTISTSORT tag for Emmylou Harris (with the "sort" tag containing "Harris, Emmylou". ------------------------------------------------------------------------ garym's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17325 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=95312 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
