Apart from the “real” mastering tasks, i have a lot of customers, who send numbered Wave files, and I simply have to create a DDP (1:1). Often it’s easier to use DDP Creator for this, because it imports file tags as CD-TEXT information, and ISRC too. But I wonder if this is possible in Wavelab?
The other case are filenames with patterns like %tracknumber% - %artist% -%title% (or similar). Mp3tagEdit has an easy editor to convert this to tags. I don’t think this is possible in Wavelab?

What are you meaning with “file tags”? RIFF Metadata info?
Yes, sorry. For example. Or ID3 or VORBIS. Depending on the file format. Usually it’s RIFF metadata.
Currently, there is no way to export the metadata of the clip’s audio file to an album title.
You can of course open the clip’s audio file and copy/paste the data, but this is not convenient.
What you are requesting is a good idea to implement in the future.
That would be great! Until then I’ve just created a simple Python droplet for my daily purposes, that generates a Wavelab compatible CD-TEXT CSV from possible metadata, and as a fallback from a free filename pattern like %tracknumber%. %artist% - %title%, or however it is formatted (including “replace underscores”), tracknumber not used of course. Maybe I’m the only one who needs it, or maybe it’s an idea.
