Sorry to throw in a really dumb question, BUT
If I make a recording on a flash-card recorder then it gets
automatically date and time stamped (always assuming that I have set
the time-date correctly in the reccorder).
When I later process the recording (let's say I remove 5 minutes of
footsteps and preserve one minute of birdsong), then I am left with
an AIFF file on a Mac that has lost the date and time stamp.
Are you proposing that the ideal way for archiving is to then re-
embed time, date and additional data that will be permanently tagged
to the sound file?
For the moment I'm sticking with my manual database, thanks all the
same, and verbal announcements regarding species name, description,
behaviour, place, weather, etc.
cheers,
Vicki
