WavPack Support ?
Posted: Wed Oct 23, 2019 3:08 am
Hello Chris,
I'm a very, very long time user of Goldwave, and I always wondered why it's not possible to open & save *.WV files using my all time favorite audio editor software... ?
As far as I can tell, WavPack is free so I don't really understand... is there any particular reason (technical maybe) why this format is still not supported by Goldwave ?
You see, my entire CD collection is stored as *.WV files. I also transfer vinyl records to WAV files (first step with Goldwave) and then I use a different software to archive the files in *.WV for storage on my NAS. Quite often I also use Goldwave to extract samples and create loops out of these tracks but I always need to convert back in WAV before I can play with them in Goldwave. No big deal but it would be nice to skip that extra step !
I know I could have archived all my stuff in FLAC in the first place and voilĂ , but I didn't... about 2 years ago (mid 2017) my digital music collection was a real mess (mix of mp3 / aac / wav and others...) and sometimes after I did purchase a new NAS server that year I quickly decided to rip all my CDs again from scratch instead of transfering my music mess, and for some reasons I did select WavPack over FLAC back then...
Well, thanks for your input,
Best Regards, Daniel
