An extension of the WAVE format with an additional "chunk" that holds
description data including Originator ID, Originator data and time,
and timestamp information. People are using the "meta data"  for
other interests like the "cart chunk" application for
radio/broadcast.  Nature recordists have discussed using it for GPS
and attaching many other useful archival details directly to sound
files.

The FR-2 LE is luring isn't it!?  I like the trim knobs. Would be
neat if Fostex included a way to link two units for 7 hours of 16 bit
4 channel recording for $1000 USD.The timestamp feature should at
least help with "poor man's" sync. Rob D.
