Thank, I didn't realise Audacity did:=0D
http://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/WAV#Metadata=0D
=0D
However that page and the wikipedia page you referred to both come with war=
nings about other programs not supporting it. Eg "Although the RIFF specifi=
cation requires that applications ignore chunks they do not recognize, some=
applications are confused by additional chunks."=0D
=0D
I believe my M10 places track markers in the wav files using the same sort =
of system, and because Audacity ignores them, I assumed it ignored all wav =
metadata.=0D
=0D
I do set the metadata fields in my Audacity projects, but I don't rewrite t=
he original wav file so they only get embedded in what I export, which is u=
sually mp3 format anyway.=0D

Actually, they do: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WAV#Metadata=0D
=0D
Both Audacity and Goldwave support this (probably others, too), and provide=
=0D
ways to add it to the current wav file being worked on.=0D
