Digital Audio
I'm hoping someone can give me a suggestion of a program that will normalize, trim and edit ID3 tags in batch mode for WMA files. Or should I convert them all to MP3Pro or Ogg Vorbis?
Speaking of metadata and sound.... It seems that radio stations are now including the type of station in their broadcast signal. The radio in my new car (old one was totaled back in Dec.) has the ability to do a search on type of station. Now not many stations seem to be doing this yet. Here in Houston I get no hits on "college stations" or many of the other catagories. I did get a hit on "jazz". There is a controlled set of terms for description. Handy when driving to another city.
