wvtag

DESCRIPTION
wvtag applies the specified metadata operation(s) to each of the specified WavPack source file(s) in this order: clean, import, delete, write, extract, list. Note that WavPack metadata is stored in APEv2 tags, and this tool will automatically import from an ID3v1 tag if it is the only tag present on the source file, and that ID3v1 tag will be deleted and replaced with an APEv2 tag if an edit is requested.OPTIONS

MB is not recommended for portable devices and may not work with some programs
including WavPack pre-4.70)

-x “cuesheet”)
