That is very interesting, more info please. I use Reaper a great deal &
thought I was up to date in what it did in the BWF / bext area {AFAIK they
do not use the iXML chunk at all}. But i can well believe I may have missed
some new capabilities the basic app is developing at massive speed & there
are some very talented writers of extensions too.
What i know of Reaper's bext capabilities is
1) it can place sound within the 24hrs covered by the timestamp & write new
timestamped files.
2) you can view the contents of the "Description Field", but annoyingly only
what fits in the fixed window / Info box
3) Write the file name into the "Description Field"
4) re-name clips using what is in "Description Field", (limited use this,
IMO)

Well that is an easy decision I recon, tab separated files are readable by
almost everything.
