.wav and .aiff files aren't being added in collection

I think the demo version is broken since I can only seem to add folders with .mp3 files. Any other file type like .wav and .aiff aren't being loaded into the collection.

Is this normal behavior? Or is this a bug?

If you want me to purchase a license this early in the development at least have a decent working demo. :P
Don't get me wrong I love the idea of sorting my music in this application but if it can't recognize 80% of my music collection because it being a mix of .wav and .aiff files then its a no for me. :(

Hello Droid, I'm sorry to hear. WAV files don't typically support music file tags, so they're not a very popular format to use for music. I believe it's the first I've heard of that request. I'm not overly familiar with AIFF files, but I suspect they're in the same boat. It is easy for me to add in support for them, but without metadata tags it would likely just be a big mess anyways.

Okay I can understand why you wouldn't support wav files. Fair enough.

AIFF is WAV quality music but with metadata support basically. It is used a lot on many different music stores for high quality music purchasing with metadata.
You can read more about it here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audio_Interchange_File_Format

Would love to see AIFF support because then I can add my full music library and probably buy a license. :D
