MediaMonkey and TurtleBeach Audiotron/Voyetra AudioStation

Hi,

I have a music library on PC to be played via Turtle Beach (Ethernet to Audio Interface). The Lib is managed via the Voyetra software coming with the Turtle Beach Audiotron.

The Library contains mostly *.wav files.

I want to replace AudioStation with MediaMonkey.

Problem:
The Track Properties which I enter with MediaMonkey for *.wav files are not seen by Voyetra software.
Vice Versa: Track Properties entered with AudioStation are not seen by MediaMonkey.

Any Idea, how to use MediaMonkey to manage my *.wav-Library for the Audiotron ?

Thanks and best regards
Ralph

MediaMonkey doesn't read or write .wav metadata 'tags', mainly because until now it hasn't really been on our radar.

My feeling is that it's probably useful for only a very small number of people, and that those people are likely to switch to lossless audio compression (e.g. FLAC) which yields the same level of quality at much reduced file sizes.

Any other thoughts on this?

Hi Rusty,

thanks for the info (even if it's bad info for me - it means that I can not use your software, which seems to be very nice)

Nevertheless, my decision for library in wav-Format, because:
- Disk space for uncompressed storage is not really a matter of costs anymore (200GB ~ 200$ ~ 4-5000 wav-songs)
- I don't want to have information loss when ripping CDs
- wav is the "most compatible" format under the "losless" ones
- And most important:
My Audiotron (Ethernet to Audio Interface, Turtle Beach) doesn's support any other losless format than wav.

Best regards
Ralph
