Re: WavPack 5.2.0 Release
Reply #22 –
Last last long long time I just decode(WVUNPACK) and then encode and manually copy the metadat from the old flac files by Copy paste on foobar2000. Don't want to do it again..
There's no reason to do that again. Assuming that you did not use -r during the original encode (which discards the original headers and trailers) then you can just do this:
wvtag --import-id3 *.wv
That should read the ID3 tags in their original form and reapply each one to the WavPack file. This will fix any case of the garbage characters caused by the previous bug. However, that bug was introduced in version 5.2 and only applies to TXXX tags; if you actually encoded with 5.1 then you won't have any of those cases because 5.1 ignored the TXXX tags, but you might want to do this to get any TXXX tags in the files.
Also, there is a way to re-encode with wavpack.exe and you could do that also, but it would just be a waste of time and CPU power (unless you wanted to encode with a different quality or mode):
wavpack -y --import-id3 *.wv
Good luck!
