WAV to FLAC question

[Olecranon]

I'm looking at purchasing MediaMonkey to convert a large collection of music that is in WAV format to FLAC. From what I've read, MediaMonkey can re-rip the CD's to FLAC, or I can convert the WAV files to FLAC.

My question is.. From a tagging perspective which is better?

I'm assuming MediaMonkey will detect album/artist/song from FreeDB when a CD is ripped, and then add that data into the FLAC files. Is there anyway to trigger this when doing a file conversion from WAV to FLAC? Or is that a manual tagging process after the conversion is done?

Thanks!

As both WAV and FLAC are lossless formats you can convert between them without quality loss and thus this would be a more convenient option.

If you choose to re-rip instead check out the Advanced Duplicate Addon as it can copy metadata from selected files to other files: http://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewto ... +duplicate

convert ...... without quality loss

also, without tag loss? ....for the 10 or so basic WAV tags?

Within Library any Library tag should transfer to the FLAC. If not it's a bug.
