I have recently added a metadata managing tool to the Avisoft-SASLab Pro so=
und analysis software (http://www.avisoft.com/soundanalysis.htm) that allow=
s entering user-defined data fields, which are embedded into the individual=
 .wav files by using a custom-specific "dXML" RIFF chunk. These embedded da=
ta sets can subsequently be exported into separate .xml formatted sidecar f=
iles or they can be integrated into a simple XML-formatted metadata base.

Here are a few screen shots that illustrate how it looks like:

Sample files:

This (expensive) software is however primarily aimed at bioacoustic researc=
h and probably not suited for general use.

Raimund
