|---|---|
| Setting | Description |
| Retain current text information | Keeps the file's current information unchanged. |
| Replace text information | Replaces all of the information with new information provided using the Set Info button. Any blank entries are removed from the file. |
| Replace specified text information only | Replaces the information with new information provided using the Set Info button. Blank entries are not removed or changed, except the Title. GoldWave uses the file's name as the Title text when a file currently has no Title. |
| Remove text information | Removes all text information from the processed file. The Title is not set. |
| Remove text information and pictures | Removes text, cover art, and other pictures. |
If the Track number is set to ##, GoldWave replaces it with a sequential number based on the order in which the files are processed. The first processed file will have a track number of 01, then the next file will have 02, etc. If the Title is left blank and the file does not have a title, GoldWave sets it to the file's name.
Depending on the settings used, all processed files may have exactly the same information (except for ## track numbering and title mentioned above), so care must be taken when specifying file specific information such as the Title. Also note that not all file types can store information.
When retaining information and converting to a different file type, some information from the old file type may not be valid for the new file type. GoldWave does not verify any information, so care must be taken when retaining information while converting.
