So other than sending a file to someone, tagging and CD Texting is identical for results. correct?

No. CD Text works only on AUDIO CDS for those that have the hardware and software to decode it. Tagging works on all file formats that computers can read, whether it be a hard disk drive, a DATA CD or a memory card.

Sending a file , unless purchased would be illegal under current copyright laws, so for making a CD for persoannl enjoyment, I would No difference between tagging and CD Text.

In addition to the above differences, CD Text supports less tags, ie less information.

So without being rude, why would anyone want to ID Tag and go with a lesser format, than WAV if they can copy WAv and have CD Text???

FOr the above reasons PLUS you can put tags into lossless formats like LossWMA or FLAC etc. If you make compressed copies as WMA, MP3, FLAC etc then the tags remain.
