Olof, given you mention Coverscout and this is a Mac forum, I assume you are using iTunes for Mac OSX?

If so, doesn't iTunes convert the WAV-formatted files to AAC or MP3?

Anyway, if Coverscout fails to find Cover information, you may try to install the following Apple script:

Hi Stefan,

the script works, but iTunes doesnt allow me to copy the cover into the file ? :-(

 

 Kind regards

Hello Jan

I googled a little bit - it seems WAV does not support artwork:

So you will have to decide if you listen to these tracks without artwork or if you convert the file to e.g. AAC and add the artwork then.

Kind regards

Stefan
