Re: dose mme support the wav format?

wav files don¹t contain as much metadata as id3 tags inside mp3s.  You¹ll
only get a few fields populated for wav files such as bitrate (not artist).

Re: dose mme support the wav format?

I think some of the confusion around wav files is that some CD rippers do include metadata in the wav files.  For 
example, I have some CDs ripped with Windows Media Player and if I open the files with vi I can see: 

RIFF6þ¡[]WAVELISTÈ[]INFOIART[]Andrea BocelliINAM[]Macchine da Guerra[]IPRD[]Romanza[]IGNR[]Classical[]

(non-printable characters have been replaced with [])

So, in fact, this wave file does have artist, title, genre.  The fact that other players windows players (MediaMonkey, 
Winamp, etc) can read and display this data makes me believe that there is some sort of standard.  Any chance the mme 
can parse this data?

Hi Steven,

That’s interesting and news to me.  My suggestion is that you open a
discussion with QNX support to address this.
