Support WAV format about node-id3 HOT 4 CLOSED

I mean, if there's an ID3v2 tag found at the start of the file, node-id3 is gonna read it and also write no matter the file format.
Do you have a specific issue with it?

from node-id3.

WAV files seem to support more than comments in ID3 format:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WAV#Metadata

But the player seems to mainly read the ID3 format:

When writing WAV metadata, Mp3Tag and foobar2000 will be written into RIFF/LIST-INFO and RIFF/ID3v2 at the same time:
https://github.com/Borewit/music-metadata/wiki/RIFF-WAVE

I use Mp3Tag to clean up the screenshots of all tags:

Screenshot after writing title and artist using Mp3Tag:

It can be seen from the figure that when all the tags are cleaned, the ID3 tag will be cleared, and only the RIFF/LIST-INFO tag is retained, so it is not enough to detect the ID3v2 tag, which needs to be done separately for the WAV format Some additional processing.

The above are the problems you might encounter when supporting the WAV format. Are you interested in supporting it?

Implementing RIFF format seems unsuited for an ID3 project but even as a "special functionality" it doesn't look trivial, so right now, I'm not going to implement it myself, although I wouldn't reject a pull request if it's not integrated too deep into the core library (e.g. passing an option or similar that would enable wrapping the ID3 frame into RIFF before returning instead of auto-detecting the file format etc.).

Indeed, RIFF is not a pure ID3 project, it should be regarded as another independent project, thank you for your answer, I will now close this issue.
