By default, To WAV Converter transfers all tags from source files and creates missing tags and artworks based on filenames, paths, and images in local folders. Every new WAV file then carries the title, artist, album, comments, and artwork of its original.

When the files must go out clean, tick 'Strip tags from converted files': To WAV Converter removes all metadata and artworks while it converts. The WAV files hold nothing but the sound, so the names, notes, and pictures of your library stay with you, and you can tag the files anew from a clean start. One drag and drop strips whole folders of more than 200 audio and video formats, and the source files keep their tags.

Nothing but sound

In Tag Editor, the six MP3 files above show their artwork, title, artist, album, and genre. In the WAV files made from them, every tag is empty.
