The time and frustration of listening to snippets of tracks and then guessing at what it is - and presuming that it was properly recovered just doesn't seem worth the incredible effort that will be needed. Just because the files are playable, not knowing what they are makes them pretty much useless. If the "recovery" turned everything into numbers for files and folders I think the only answer is to rip everything all over again. I want to exhaust possibilities for obtaining the metadata on the assumption that the files are not corrupted before considering ripping the CDs again. He apparently has no trouble playing the wav files with Windows Media Player, although I don't know how many albums he has sampled. He sent the drive to Olive - his Olive server/player caused the problems and, AFIAK, they had to unencrypt the files so he can use them elsewhere. I don't believe an undelete program was used. Meaning, sorry about this, you may need to reference the original source material. If that is the case, the data will be highly suspect and never reliable. If you can provide more information I'm confident we will be able to help you.Įdit: Files and folders with nothing but numbers sounds like the result of some type of undelete program.

MP3tag is a free download that will let you set metadata for file formats that will support that function.Īs far as batch file conversion goes, no program can copy data that doesn't exist, meaning that if it isn't there you need to add it manually. If the former that's really not a lot of data - if MP3 at even medium resolution an album will take up maybe 90 to 100 MB. 500MB.Īny suggestions on how best to proceed with this project would be greatly appreciated. We are talking about a library of approx. Is there any way to do batch tagging or would it have to be done album by album? If the latter, needless to add, it will be a very time consuming process. I have read that Jaikoz, which I have never used, might be the simplest tool but I am certainly open to alternatives.

The issue I need help with is is how to obtain the metadata. I should be able to batch convert his files to either format using dBpoweramp Batch Converter. For metadata, IMO, he should be using flac or aiff. He has just purchased a Sony HAD-S1 and wants to add metadata to his library before transferring it to the Sony HDD. All album folder names and individual file names are numbers. However, all the files are in wav format and there is no metadata. I am trying to help a friend who, after a failure that is not relevant to this discussion, had his music library recovered to a USB HDD.
