I like the version of MB that I'm using. It does everything that I want (except maybe tag some assorted wav files
).
I have read the discussions of later versions and I view a lot of what has been added as bloat. I don't care about prettying up the display or playing videos or other enhancements. 2.1 was the sweet spot for MB as a basic player and file manager for me.
I don't offer this as gratuitous criticism. I think it's a terrific application that outshines the competition. But it has had different flavors and continues to have different levels of fan enthusiasm. I like it where it's at. If it has limitations compared to newer versions, then I'm either not aware of them or they don't matter for my usage case. If anyone can offer a compelling reason to upgrade, I'd be happy to entertain it.
With that out of the way, I report that converting that album to flac addressed the wonky tag issue that those particular wav files presented. I have many GB of wav files and that one album was the only one that MB stumbled over. Beats me.
By the way, thanks to scampbll for the suggestion. You've always been a good advisor here.
