<p>I try to avoid this as it often comes up, "oh, please add
metadata to the files," well after the project is underway. Some
of it can be rather time consuming.</p>
<p>The cool thing about BWFMetaEdit is that it embeds an audio chunk
MD5 in the metadata area, however, I've never warmed to it due to
actually having it corrupt a file in an earlier version and the
less I do with large WAV files (I'm doing a good deal of my work
at 192/32F these days), the better. I generally provide
complete-file MD5 files (in the format usable by
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://getmd5checker.com/">http://getmd5checker.com/</a> (free) or FastSum (paid) and named
filename.ext.md5)</p>
<p>With that said, I generally have trusted Samplitude (Sequoia
minus a few features) to have most things right. That presents
some interesting information that I don't know precisely what it
means, but when it offers a dialogue for inputting the CD Text and
MP3 ID (ID3) information, most things are common to both. It
allows a total of 2816 "letters" for all the entries (and counts
you down). There are different fields for CD Text and MP3 ID GENRE
field, with different available presets. I don't know which of the
two schema is forcing the 2816 character limit (or if both have
the same limits).</p>
<p>This does write data to markers in the WAV file (I think, I
haven't done it for a while--most of my work is do the tape
transfer and the mastering engineer worries about this stuff and
archives generally produce their own metadata and keep that in
their content mastering system and I provide technical metadata in
a spreadsheet></p>
<p>Cheers,</p>

<div dir="ltr">Thanks to a little help from Schwa on Reaper's
development team I can now add any metadata I need from
Reaper's render menu when I render files for clients. I can
add the data to markers for each track or add it manually from
the render menu. Reaper can add image files although only to
files that contain ID3 tags or Flac files. I don't know if
Reaper supports ID3 tags in .wav or aiff files at the moment
but it certainly supports all the normal tags.
