Is there really a good .wav tag editor around

or is it an urban legend?

I have used the one which came with dBpoweramp – it works for me. There might be better ones around though…

JRivers does it well but is a bit over the top for just tag-editing.

 

KID3 Tag editor does work, but you need to read the manual first as I don't find it intuitive.

KID3 is found on sourceforge.

I also use dBPoweramp, via windows explorer, and is really powerful and easy to use. I have used this utility for severeal years with no issues.

I've tried a number of others & found dBpoweramp to be the best.

dBpoweramp is excellent. Tagging can be done via right clicking in Windows and it's never met a WAV file it couldn't tag. It's also good at stripping out tags. Sometimes downloads are full of unwanted tags.

Hi all, long time lurker turned poster.

 

I've just been through what felt like my own personal hell with WAV editors since the New Year of which I will post separately once I've retested my findings over Easter.

 

I only found this excellent one page blog right at the end of my travels: http://wavmetadata.blogspot.co.uk/

 

Of these NCH Stamp ID3 Tag Editor I would specifically recommend against. It doesn't appear to handle WAV INFO and ID3 data correctly when both are present in the same file, to be confirmed.

 

If you want a tool to explore metadata and the all the variants that can exist within a single file MetadataTouch is excellent. Better than Adobe Audition in this regard.

 

For bulk editing of downloads I've settled on Tag&Rename which works a treat.
