<p>Does beaTunes support .wav files?</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Yes, but with limits, see below.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Do all features work with .wav files?</p>
</blockquote>
<p>No.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Is there a published list of supported file types plus
limitations of features?</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Not a detailed one.</p>
<p>Let me state first of all, that beaTunes is capable of playing
and analyzing <code>.wav</code> files.<br>
So far so good.</p>
<p>What beaTunes cannot do, is to embed metadata like artist,
album, etc. into <code>.wav</code> files. So while beaTunes may be
able to display these things, it is not capable of writing such
values to the files.</p>
<p>This limitation does not apply to ".mp3", ".m4p", ".m4v",
".m4a", ".flac", ".wma", or ".ogg" files.</p>
<p>When used in conjunction with iTunes, it is actually iTunes that
embeds most metadata into the files (except for the fields that
iTunes does not support). But I doubt that iTunes is capable of
embedding metadata into <code>.wav</code> files.</p>
<p>I hope this answers your question.</p>
