# wavinfo
|
|
|
|
The `wavinfo` package allows you to probe WAVE and [RF64/WAVE files][eburf64]
|
|
and extract extended metadata, with an emphasis on film, video and
|
|
professional music production.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Metadata Support
|
|
|
|
`wavinfo` reads:
|
|
|
|
* [Broadcast-WAVE][bext] metadata, including embedded program
|
|
loudness, coding history and [SMPTE UMID][smpte_330m2011].
|
|
* [Audio Definition Model (ADM)][adm] track metadata and schema, including
|
|
channel, pack formats,
|
|
object, content and programme.
|
|
* [Dolby Digital Plus][ebu3285s6] and Dolby Atmos `dbmd` metadata.
|
|
* [iXML][ixml] production recorder metadata, including project, scene, and
|
|
take tags, recorder notes and file family information.
|
|
* iXML `STEINBERG` sound library attributes.
|
|
* Wave embedded [cue markers][cues], cue marker labels, notes and timed ranges as used
|
|
by Zoom, iZotope RX, etc.
|
|
* Most of the common [RIFF INFO][info-tags] metadata fields.
|
|
* The [wav format][format] is also parsed, so you can access the basic sample rate
|
|
and channel count information.

## How To Use
|
|
|
|
The entry point for wavinfo is the WavInfoReader class.
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
from wavinfo import WavInfoReader
|
|
|
|
path = '../tests/test_files/A101_1.WAV'
|
|
|
|
info = WavInfoReader(path)
|
|
|
|
adm_metadata = info.adm
|
|
ixml_metadata = info.ixml
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The package also installs a shell command:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
$ wavinfo test_files/A101_1.WAV
|
|
```
|
|
|
