Traktor not-reading wma tags.
Traktor not-reading wma tags. Posted on: 12.09.2013 by Season Bergere Hello.I imported some wma files, but traktor can't analyse the file (it says it can't read the id3-tags) - is this a common problem? Maybe wma files don't have id3-tags? If so then what other music-file types also don't have tags? | |

| Kerstin Kadolph 13.09.2013 | You could try Perian in order to play your WMA files on a mac http://perian.org/ |
| Latoria Kavulich 12.09.2013 | convert the tags to 2.3 or 2.4 mate. |

| Lakeesha Storman 12.09.2013 | Have you tried re-ripping the CD(s)? I'm pretty sure WMA supports some ID3 tagging. Have you looked at the files and tags in mp3tag or foobar2000? Have you tried updating the tags in those programs then importing after saving the updated tagged file? AIFF is a lossless format as well, but supports ID3 tags much better than WAV. Not sure why your WMA files tags can't be read, but I've noticed ripping CDs that I rarely get much more than Artist and song title in WMAs that I then convert to AIFF. FLAC, while lossless is compressed. MP3 is not lossless. I'll spare you my reasoning, but I chose to go AIFF files due to universal usability, tagging support and having lossless files. |
| Alphonso Deitchman 12.09.2013 | And I said do not convert WMA to MP3. Lossy to lossy conversions are never a good idea. |

| Alphonso Deitchman 12.09.2013 | Wave files do not have ID3 tags. WMA is definitely more up-to-date tag wise than wave, and is much more recent than MP3 too. Do not convert lossy files to lossy formats whatever you do. You might need Windows Media Player installed to use WMA files. |

| Season Bergere 12.09.2013 | Yes I mostly use mp3s, have a recent album in wma format for some reason. Do flac files have id3 tags? |
| Tera Baragan 12.09.2013 | You should be using mp3, wave or lossless. All of those files carrying id3 tagging. Windows media is super outdated hah |
