BWF MetaEdit http://sourceforge.net/projects/bwfmetaedit/ can read and write some metadata in wav files: http://bwfmetaedit.sourceforge.net/core_doc_help.html "The CORE Document serves the purpose of BEXT and LIST-INFO metadata exchange between BWF MetaEdit and other applications. BWF MetaEdit can import and export CORE Documents as XML or CSV. Once imported into BWF MetaEdit the CORE information can be edited and embedded into audio files. For files with existing bext and LIST-INFO metadata, BWF MetaEdit can display and export this data as a CORE document. A CORE document template can be generated within BWF MetaEdit or with another application. The CORE document lists one record per audio file." "The CORE Document is essentially a list of filepaths associated with BEXT and LIST-INFO values. Please see BEXT and LIST-INFO for more information and validation documentation for information on the correct use of these standards." Does the LIST-INFO section give us enough info to work with if Rivendell were able to read it in from a wav file? > > There is a patch which allows start date start time end date end time to > be put in the filename in a manner similar to that you describe.
