What software are you using to edit the files, David? The marks are encoded=
into the wav files by the recorder using a format that only some software =
can interpret. Audacity, for example, simply ignores them (or did last time=
I tried), and when you open the files, there are no marks.=0D
=0D
The software you're using can obviously read them, but it sounds like it ig=
nores them when doing "save as". In order to save them, you will need to be=
saving in a format that supports them, and there might be an option to ena=
ble saving them.=0D
=0D
I have come across methods Audacity users have used to convert them into Au=
dacity "label tracks", which Audacity can reliably work with, so you might =
need to do something similar. Note that if I was to do that with Audacity, =
they'd be reliably retained so long as I was saving in the native Audacity =
format, but if I was to "save as" wav format, the resulting wav file would =
contain no trace of them.=0D

I would love so to have it all in 1 place. Yes having a backup would do it=

to be found. Having it in the edited version would be preferred.=0D

Easy. Never work on your original file and never work on your backups. Ma=
ke a copy of the wanted file and work on that :-)=0D

Have I got this right. When dealing with metadata which includes cues/ mark=
s, they kept if the file is copied or cut to another location but if any ed=
iting is done to that file, then saved, cues are lost. Is there any way to=
get around this.=0D

Hi Vicki=0D
=0D
Thank you for the reply. I have played around a little more playing around =
and found that my facts wasn't exactly right. The cue's does remain when co=
py and cut. They do not show up when I save as which I use a lot when editi=
ng and filing my recordings. Down loaded Wave Agent, had a play with it and=
can not find the cue information. Maybe its not a Sou nd Device recorder.=

I am mystified David. You would think that whatever info got as far=0D

you tried Wave Agent? Others in this group have more knowledge than I=0D
