Cc tony01: I discovered that while you can add metadata to wave files, only audacity can read that metadata!

New page

Audacity is a great way to add metadata to your audio files. In fact, it is one of the few tools that will let you do this to .wav files.

To add metadata to a your file
#Import your audio file into Audacity see: [[Import Audio - Audacity| Import Audio]]
#Go '''File > Open Metadata Editor''' and enter your data and click '''OK'''
#Go '''File > Export''' and save your file with the newly added metadata.

-We have confirmed reports that adding additional metadata fields (other than the ones provide by Audacity) will not be saved. This is a problem in version 2.0.0. Please only add metadata to the default fields provide. Hopefully this will be fixed in subsequent versions
