Unfortunately, .wav files have no standardized tagging built into the file structure. So, even if EAC will recognize EAC tags, when you "import" the files into MM, MM won't see anything but the filename. Frustrating, because the bloody info is in the filename!
PC .wav player/indexer?
I've got a server with about 600 GB of music ripped to it--all in .wav and ripped with EAC. I connect to the server with a Mac Mini running iTunes in my living room and with an XP Box running MusicMatch in my home office. In both cases, the .wav files are spit out to Waveterminal U24s via USB and then run into separate stand alone DACs. The sound is remarkable.
Now for convenience. Since the files were ripped with EAC, I was able to arrange them all into a directory structure that is Server\Artist\Album\Song.wav, but .wav files have no inherent tagging. In the iTunes environment, I was able to download a sweet little AppleScript routine that parses the file name into the song Artist and Album fields if you use a consistent directory structure. Very handy, and now all the iTunes songs are indexable by Artist or Album. Problem is that I can't seem to get MusicMatch to do that. Anyone know of any player (foobar?) or anything that will allow me the convenience of indexing in that manner? Am I relegated to digging out my Visual Studio manuals and doing this myself?
Help!
