RE: old burned cd file in wav

Thanks Lin,

 

Probably not the problem it might seem to be as you state.  I am less concerned with playability as I am in understanding tags, how they are applied and where the fit in.

Mp3tag can display the tag format in use for a file. Now, if there are 
TWO different sets of tags in a file, I don't know how Mp3tag will 
display it.

This whole "issue" seems to me to be highly exaggerated. I deal with 
FLAC and mp3 files all the time, and I don't ever remember any program I 
use ever having trouble with a FLAC file using the "wrong" tags. I think 
it rarely happens, and even if it does, most players and editors can 
deal with it. Even if it did, by some unlikely set of circumstances, 
happen, there are lots of ways to strip out unwanted tags from audio 
files. The actual audio data is never in danger.
