How to tag .aiff files

[RumorToRuleThemAll]

Could anyone please tell me how to tag .aiff files (e.g. artist name). I really got stuck at this.

btw: why is there an .aif format as well?

Pretty much any of the tagging software out there will help you tag them. I use Tag&Rename on the windows side and Tag Editor for my tagging needs. You can also use XLD for tagging.

Thanks, what would you suggest for the Mac?

Tag Editor and XLD are on the Mac. I didn't know if you were on a Mac or Windows Machine. I actually installed a version of Windows on my Mac for the sole purpose of using Tag&Rename. However I found I have been using Tag Editor a lot more lately. Most of the time, when I rip, I try and get the tags right the first time so I don't have to go back and re-tag a lot of stuff. I know this isn't the case with files acquired from other sources.

XLD is actually transcoder but a by product is it does tagging also.

Downloaded Tag Editor. It works. Thanks.

I just found out you can do it with Audacity as well. The respectable free open source multi-platform audio editor. Have to admit: it must re-save the whole file for tags to be applied, so won't work for MP3's I think.
