What I suggest is that you rip future CDs in Apple Lossless format, which offers the same uncompressed quality as WAV or AIFF does but takes up about half the space. If you move them to another computer, however, you won’t see them. As long as the files live in your iTunes library, you’ll see the tags. You can tag WAV files in iTunes, but those tags aren’t embedded in the files. This isn’t an iTunes problem it happens with other software and hardware as well. What can I do to ensure that I don’t lose these tags? I am afraid I might lose all my alterations if iTunes upgrades to a newer version or tries to organize all my music in its own format without my knowing it. I understand that iTunes doesn’t handle tags with WAV files very well. Q: I have just spent several months editing and correcting all the genre, artist, and album-name tags for over 1200 CDs in my iTunes music library, but I had ripped the CDs in WAV format.
You’ll now have these tracks twice: once as the album you just created, and a second time as the individual singles.
Select all the files, press Command-I to display the Multiple Item Information window, enter the name you’d like to use in the Album field, and click OK. Select the playlist and drag the files from the folder on your desktop to the iTunes window. Name it whatever you want-you’ll use it only temporarily for tagging these files. You can set the album name for any group of tracks in this window they don’t have to make up an actual album.
