I had burned quite a few CD's to WAV , with iTunes, but have recently downloaded Foobar. Apparently, the metadata tag between the two are not compatible. When I open my library in Foobar I get "?" under the album title and I just get a giant list of tracks under a single folder.

I tried to use the "freedb" option in Foobar to update the data but it just brings up a bunch of junk that's not even close to the album.
I did rip a CD with Foobar and it shows properly but, it doesn't show up in my iTunes library that I need to sync with my phone.

Anybody have advice on how to make the 2 programs compatible?
Looks like I can change the metadata format in Foobar's preferences but I'm having trouble finding what format iTunes ripped them to. Any other ideas or input?

WAV has a standard for ripping but it is rather limited. Some programs like Foobar have a work-around by writing ID3 style tags in a info-chunk.
Obvious iTunes doesn’t so tags like “Album” are probably library only and not written to the audio file.
Your best bet is not using WAV but another lossless format.
FLAC is very popular but I doubt if iTunes plays it.
Maybe ALAC is supported by both iTunes and Foobar.

Thanks Roseval, I was unaware of this issue with WAV and that helps quite a bit.
 
Since I don't need the best in quality or a ton of music on my phone to listen in the car, I think I'll just rip another small compressed library for iTunes and be done.  I'll convert the existing WAV files to another uncompressed format that's a bit more manageable.
