Need Help in having Itunes Tag 1 Tb of lssless Wav

There's nothing wrong with .WAV files if you're not going to use iTunes. If I had all those files I'd ditch the Mac Mini save myself some work. Windoze or Linux can pop PCM out a USB port.

I have to disagree about "nothing wrong with wav files" and it has nothing to do with iTunes. His problem has everything to do with wav files.

If you organize your library with categories like genre or any other criteria or if you attach album art work, it will all be lost if you transfer it to another player. It will also be lost if the library file on the player you are using gets corrupted. Using a file format you can tag means it stays with the song, not in a separate file that can get corrupted or is incompatible with a new player.

I've taken the time to categorize and add high resolution art work to about 5,000 albums. I would hate to have to do it again.

I agree with Herman. There's absolutely no reason to use a format like .wav when there are alternatives that offer the same or better fidelity without the problems with metadata that can't be avoided with .wav files.

Zug, what is your file structure? If it is set up as

First Artist folder
--- Album 1 subfolder
-------- song 1
-------- song 2
-------- song 3
-------- etc,
--- Album 2 subfolder
-------- song 1
-------- song 2
-------- song 3
-------- etc,

Second artist folder
--- Album 1 subfolder
-------- song 1
-------- song 2
-------- song 3
-------- etc,
--- Album 2 subfolder
-------- song 1
-------- song 2
-------- song 3
-------- etc,

Then iTunes should be able to build a library. If is not then I think you are hosed.

Herman, I may have drifted from the OPs issue, but sonically there's nothing wrong with .WAV files. If you need tags, well, there is something wrong. I use .WAV files and have no problems organizing my music to my liking.
