Quick heads up for #Faircamp folks who work with WAV files and Yate - might be a limited audience!
There's some issue with ffmpeg (as used by Faircamp) picking up the track number and album artist from WAV file tags that were created by Yate. It works fine with AIFF or FLAC.
I am not sure if this is a general issue with WAVs, or something specific to Yate, or something specific to ffmpeg. But the net result is that your Faircamp downloads won't be tagged correctly.
It's not Faircamp's fault.
