Well, hey, thanks guys. But be careful. I can usually tell when someone is of a certain age when I refer to her in association with my company name. I get blank looks from 20-somethings.
I, along with Dave, would really like to know what else is available for editing bwf metadata info. This issue has been raised in a pro audio circle recently as well. I have a good friend who wrote a wave header editor for changing erroneous or corrupted resolution info which is useful when, say an ADAT or DA-88 tape has been formated for 48K and the operator sets the machine at 44.1 instead. Anyway, I will shoot him an email about writing a bwf editor. He might do it if there is enough interest.

Personally I'm amazed to be on an audio archive list with both the Bionic Man AND Police Woman ;-) (I'm way too old to think of Steve Austin as a wrestler...)

P.S. - THANKS for the link to the BWF reader/writer apps for Mac! Still wondering what other folks are using to view/enter/edit BWF metadata - I can find tons of obscure tech papers about XML tags or BWF header info specs, not so much luck finding a simple app or apps that allow a simple non-computer-programmer audio guy like myself to begin entering or productively using BWF metadata...
Any additional resources, Mac or PC would be incredibly welcome :-)

Is it just me, or are we all getting a secret thrill to be on the same list with...Angie Dickinson?

Hello all -
I just wanted to chime in and ask if anyone had any specific software packages that provided a decent GUI (graphical user interface) for

BWF metadata?
I just came across this Mac only free reader. He has a writer now too. Wish I could find something similar for Windows. http://homepage.mac.com/zra/quesosoft/
There is a screen shot of the reader on this site.
