# wavinfo


The `wavinfo` package allows you to probe WAVE files and extract extended metadata, with an emphasis on 
production metadata. 

`wavinfo` reads:

* __Broadcast-WAVE__ metadata, compliant with [EBU Tech 3285v2 (2011)][ebu], including embedded program 
  loudness and coding history, if extant. This also includes the [SMPTE 330M __UMID__][smpte_330m2011] 
  Unique Materials Identifier.
* [__iXML__ production recorder metadata][ixml], including project, scene, and take tags, recorder notes 
  and file family information.
* Most of the common __RIFF INFO__ metadata fields.
* The __wav format__ is also parsed, so you can access the basic sample rate and channel count 
  information.

In progress:
* iXML `STEINBERG` sound library attributes.
* Pro Tools __embedded regions__.

## Demonstration

The entry point for wavinfo is the WavInfoReader class.

```python
from wavinfo import WavInfoReader

path = '../tests/test_files/A101_1.WAV'

info = WavInfoReader(path)
```

### Basic WAV Data

The length of the file in frames (interleaved samples) and bytes is available, as is the contents of the format chunk.

```python
(info.data.frame_count, info.data.byte_count)
>>> (240239, 1441434)
(info.fmt.sample_rate, info.fmt.channel_count, info.fmt.block_align, info.fmt.bits_per_sample)
>>> (48000, 2, 6, 24)
```
