<div dir="ltr">Hi Michael,<div><br></div><div>I have an old file named "The Microsoft Sound.wav" (I believe it originally came with Windows95) which has the LIST chunk at the bottom of the file.

As far as I know, Windows Explorer writes the LIST/INFO chunk in the default encoding of each system. However, TagLib uses UTF-8 by default because it's difficult for a cross-platform library to handle Windows' encodings. TagLib has an abstract class named <font face="monospace, monospace">RIFF::Info::StringHandler</font> to let users to use the encodings of their choice. Please see <font face="monospace, monospace">/riff/wav/infotag.h</font> for further details.<br></div><div><br></div><div>Regards,</div><div>Kageyu</div><div><br></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">2016-01-14 2:47 GMT+09:00 Michael Tomaras <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:M.Tomaras@audionetwork.com" target="_blank">M.Tomaras@audionetwork.com</a>></span>:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">

<p class="MsoNormal">Hi,<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I am trying to use TagLib to tag some wav files with the INFO List chunk and it works properly by adding the chunk at the end of the file (since the file has no metadata to start with). My issue is that in windows explorer and windows media
player (and some other apps that I care about) the metadata doesn’t show. By using some other tool (MetadataTouch), I can see your embedded metadata and after saving with that one the tags show properly on Explorer and WMP (TagLib can also read them). The
difference I noticed is that the INFO List chunk is at the start of the file and not the end.
<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I was playing around with your dll and also looked into your source, but I can’t seem to find a way to add a chunk at the start of the file. Is there such a way? If not is there an upcoming feature that will support it? At the very least,
could you give me some more insight into your codebase so that I can implement it and fork your github project to share my solution with you?<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks in advance for your help.<u></u><u></u></p>
