</div>It seems like you can add ID3 tags to just about any file. Can they be<br>
added to a WAV file, or would most players get confused by that?<br>
<br>
Maybe someone has explained before, but if your equipment can handle<br>
flac, why bother keeping WAVs at all? The conversion is so quick and<br>
today's CPUs are so fast it's nearly zero-cost.<br>
