Portadrive writes metadata in the broadcast wav header and this can be read
by many pro software applications such as cool edit pro, protools, nuendo
etc etc.
The types of metadata include:-
date
time
notes (50 characters)
timecode, userbits
12-character name
take number

I'm not hopeful that commercial products will provide a solution
because they usually sell dependency on their software. The ability
for any user to be able to access data embedded into a soundfile
regardless of platform/system/app is what I find most interesting.
Don't you think SDII, BEXT, ID3 tags on MP3's, all such formats/forks
should be doable? Rob D.
