Riff makes a lot more sense than a paper card index for keeping track
of documentation of sound segments. Simply because it becomes part
of the sound you are keeping track of.
I use Riff for documentation of sound segments. I am very sure
that .wav will always support riff. I wish that there was a database
program that was based on riff written for audio libraries. With the
advance of all these music playing software programs you would think
that someone would figure out how to data base to both riff and tags.
