Q: I have added some .WAV files and want to add the artist and album names

I have added some .WAV files recorded form a USB Turntable.  How can I add the artist name and album name in iTunes before I convert them to MP3 files to load on a MP# player?

    For all file types you can title them by clicking on the name/artist slot while it's selected. It should carry over when you convert them.

    MP3 files have ID3 tags, but WAV files do not; so you should first create MP3 versions, then add details to them.

    It depends what your turntable software can do, but if you start with Apple Lossless or AIFF then all versions will be taggable. Apple Lossless yields smaller files.

    The turntable is from Ion Audio, and I am able to record .WAV files on my Windows 7 PC.  I could not get it to record on my Windows 10 computer.  The Mac Mini that I have is an older 32-bit model that OS-X 10.6.8 is the latest OS that I can put on it, and I have not been able to load iTunes on it.  The Mac version of iTunes is 64bit and will not work, otherwise i could record direct to the iTunes and have it as MP3.
