This is a normal post
I understand that flacs are lossless, just like wavs. I get this. I am aware of this concept. However, I need to tag them, this is my question. And yes, pissing around is what I do, but at least half of it is to do with smart-arses, so once you're done lording it, fancy providing me with some sort of coherent answer - related to the queston? Cheeky bugger :P

This is a normal post os will arrange files numerically and then alphabetically usually
rename your wav/flac/mp3/txt/pdf files appropriately.
files are files regardless of content.
let your device deal with them automatically.

This is a normal post I guess I don't get it
Number-prefixing the filenames would just work, why use metadata at all?

This is a normal post despite being slow, clunky and pointless if it works it looks really cool sometimes
for about three seconds of 'oooh!' and hipster woo... when it works, which it mostly doesn't. and even if it does it soon wont after an update. just file name, dude - you know it makes sense.

This is a normal post Providing you don't forget the leading zeros.
Plus, I've had to use media players in the past that completely ignore filenames and folder structures and only use metadata (yes, they were shit).

This is a normal post Crikey I thought it looked familiar
Back in the 20th Century I had a 20G HDD Archos with Rockbox firmware and all sorts of mostly pointless games and apps on a 2" LCD screen. I loved it but I doubt it's in many museums.

*edit* ...and Winamp

This is a normal post When you say you need to "tag" them
you seem to be under the assumption that the file system has some embedded tagging system that allows you to add meta data to any file. It doesn't, it's part of the file itself and WAV files have to follow a very specific file format or players wont read them, you can't add tags to them. Some apps might store a separate database that has metadata associated with files, but that's bespoke to the application itself, nothing else can read that data unless they have some open API but there's nothing that I know of that can do what you're after. The best solutions have already been posted, either change the filename, simple but use leading zeros in the track name if you want them in order, 01, 06, 10 etc. Or use FLAC, which have FLAG tags in the file format.

Edit: Personally I'd just encode them as 192kb MP3 and save a fuckton of disk space and fill it with porn instead of WAV files.

This is a normal post I have a 512gb SSD on my laptop,
that's plenty to store all my MP3 files. Why the fuck would I want to store them as WAV files at a ridiculous increase in file size? People can't tell the difference between correctly encoded MP3 and WAV like they make out anyway. They are just audio snobs.

This is a normal post That, or they've got something a bit better than Laptop speakers through an onboard soundchip.
I have, and I can tell the difference between FLAC and 320 VBR MP3. FLAC and vinyl is not so easy, but Vinyl requires Ritual, like getting the good china out for a cup of tea. FLAC is like slapping a bag in a mug and MP3 is like filling it up from a hot tap.

This is a normal post I was under assumption wav does not support tags too. It does according to wikipedia, but for lots of things they are unexpected still.

This is a normal post Must be a feature that just didn't take off then
not much use in it if no software implemented it.

I think I'd stick with MP3 files.

This is a normal post If I can choose, I use WavPack/Ogg.
Still just filenames are good enough for me, no tags.
