Hi Magnus,
Just to say I have started to listen to your blog. Enjoyable,
thank you. I envy your equipment and your environment. Though I
almost got to Iceland once. However it inspires me to make the
most of my own sonic environment with the equipment that I have.
I have hundreds of hours of Mini disc sounds without any ideal
method of organisation as of yet.

I would highly recommend to transfom every sound file in
Broadcast Wave Format with .wav estension (not .BWF).
It means you can rename the file with a proper description of
what it is and have a very comprehensive amount of data you
can add in the metadata.
BWF Metaedit is the perfect software for this purpose.
Just browse and search for it and you will be able to download it
from surceforge.
You can follow this guideline on how and what you can embed in
your metadata:

You then don't really need printuots of your files names to keep
track of them, as you can search them through the OS finder and
specific software for it like:
Soundminer
Nuendo MediaBay
or similar.
Thanks.

Hi,
My recording collection is getting bigger almost every
day, so I=C2=B4d like to know what software is most popular
to archive recorded sound material?
For about three decades ago I wrote everything in a
notbook. When I got a PC I archived all my recordings in
MS Excell and now for some yerars I have use Wave agent.
For several reasons it works fine for me. But sadly it
is impossible to customize the setup and/or PDF printout
into my requirements. Also, it looks like Sound devices
will not develop Wave Agent anymore.
I am now looking for some suitable software to =
archive all my collection. It includes anything between
nature sound, spoken word and music.
Any recommendation?
OS type does not matter. It may be works as well for
Windows, MacOS or Linux.
