I'm looking for a good free wav file metadata tagger in which I could tag my wav files with genre, bpm, rootkey etc. information. Is there any free option or it's better to choose a payware software for this? I'm open to any suggestions, thanks!

Which OS and DAW are you using?
I don't think you have many options for metadata in standard .WAV files, but you can store quite a bit in "Broadcast" .WAV files. If your DAW supports exporting those, you can put all sorts of info into them (including images, I believe). You can probably do that with any of the free .WAV editors out there, though your DAW might support some of that, too.

Any OS will do. I use FL Studio, Acid Music, Cubase LE and Ableton Live 8. But I don't think those DAW will ad metadate related to the genre of sounds in which the wav file can be categorized. Unless you can embed this kind of metadate in acid wavs?

you can use the excellent free audacity (it's under File->Edit Metadata..)
Whoever wants music instead of noise, joy instead of pleasure, soul instead of gold, creative work instead of business, passion instead of foolery, finds no home in this trivial world of ours.

Good call, murnau. Audacity is a pretty good "DAW"/multi-track audio editor. I've had problems getting it to work with certain audio drivers, but if all you're looking to do is edit the metadata, that shouldn't matter.murnau wrote:you can use the excellent free audacity (it's under File->Edit Metadata..)
Wavosaur is another good, free, 2-track audio editor, but I didn't see anything on its website about editing metadata. Still, it's a very easy to use standalone executable (no installation required), and you can know within 5 minutes if it'll do what you want.
Good luck!

You should know that there are several ways to tag wav files. You can find info on that, and a list of programs (some are free) on this website - WAV & BWF Metadata Guide (http://wavmetadata.blogspot.com)- KVRAF

I was looking for a software to change the root key in the bunch of samples according to the filename! This Freeware is genious! "Endless Wave" Check it out!http://www.bjoernbojahr.de/index_studio ... pling.html (http://www.bjoernbojahr.de/index_studio_workshop_sampling.html)

I wonder if Winamp could do something similar as you can save meta data into an audio file? You can also save a preset of that meta data and load it into other files. Works for mp3... dunno about wav.

I used this for tagging 3500 audio cd's when ripping to a NAS drive. Despite the name, it can tag pretty much any audio format. And....it's free
