[QUOTE="hwahrmann, post: 175332, member: 10391"] Scanning files, means that we look up for tags in the filename. Naturally we won't find any tags in a WAV file, since there's nothing like tagging. so there's nothing we could tag at all. no artist, no album, etc. For that purpose, we still have the "Shares" view, which will browse the file system and don't use the database content, since there's no valueable information anyhow. In your first post you said, you were able to recognize artist and album? how did you do that? Manually inserting them into the db? that's the only thing i can think of. if so, why didn't you insert then a title as well? And you will loose this information again on the next scan. so it's probably better if you use a lossless codec, like FLAC, to convert your wav file. this would give you the ability to tag the files. But if you want to continue with WAV format, you should use the "Share" View. btw: SVN 15561 contains new logic to use the filename as Title, when no tags are found. so you've at least a title. tough i dounbt that this will be usefulm when having all wav files under artist: unknown and album: unknown.
