#No tags on WAV files on ipod

I have a lot of music in WAV and when I sync them to the iPod they have missing tags, only the file name is shown as the song name. This happens even after adding tags in iTunes (iTunes is perfectly fine with my tags). Can I fix it? If not, converting to mp3 or aac will allow me to finally have tags?

WAV format sucks because of that 😅 It has no support for metadata tags

#

If you really want to keep the files in PCM form you can convert to AIFF

#

If you want to keep the same quality and save a bit of space ALAC (Apple Lossless) is your friend

#

If you want to save a lot of space and you're not paranoid about quality AAC at 256kbps will be indistinguishable from your OG files
