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), including embedded program loudness and coding history, if extant.
• iXML production recorder metadata, including project, scene, and take tags, recorder notes and file family information.
• The wav format is also parsed, so you can access the basic sample rate and channel count information.

In progress:

• SMPTE 330M UMID Unique Materials Identifier.
• iXML STEINBERG sound library attributes.
• Most of the common RIFF INFO metadata fields.
• Pro Tools embedded regions.

This module is presently under construction and not sutiable for production at this time.
