Is ReplayGain supported for WAV and WMA files?

Does replay/gain work with any of the Micresoft files ( .wav or the .wma family ) ?

1) .wav files aren't "Microsoft" files. And they can't be tagged so ReplayGain wouldn't work with them.

2) .wma files can be tagged, but I'm not sure about ReplayGain support. MS' own player, WMP, doesn't support ReplayGain anyway

1) .wav was ko- kreated by Microsoft and IBM. Why kan't they be tagged ? These files are tagged in WMP.
  2)I am in the prosess of switching from WMP to Foobar ( which does support replay/gain ). I haven't yet figgured out how to do replay/gain but all my files are .wma pro .I would like to know if replay/gain kan be applied to these files which would then be played in Foobar.
  Thank you.

1) why would creators have anything to do with tagging?
Why not do supplemental search on Google instead of asking same question twice?
.wav files do not support tags. They are not tagged in WMP. You can, of course, have an application that stores information in an external database.

2). do not know.

If you really need to be tagging .wav files then you probably ought to be using some sort of lossless compression.

From what I gather, there's limited tagging support for WAVs but fb2k doesn't support it.

Adobe Audition's manual says:

In Adobe Audition, you can embed text?based data in Windows .wav files that use the RIFF LIST INFO and DISP type 1 formats

Well, that's like saying there is tagging support for mp3s.
The fact is it's not part of the format's standard, but various standards are appended to it.

Only unlike mp3 where the "standards" are fairly universal (id3v1.1, id3v2.x, even APEv2 has some adopters outside fb2k), "standards" in .WAV tagging is all over the map, many of which are program specific.

Rather than going out of the way to support a bajillion different types of .wav tags, the real solution is to just use a lossless compression format, which is a valid solution for 99.999% of people.

Is incorrect.

Is why fb2k doesn't support it.

I couldn't agree more.

Most of the people I've seen asking for WAV tagging support are people who work with audio and since the OP is concerned about Replay Gain that suggests it's for listening / enjoying music and as such there's no reason to be using the WAV format in the first place.
