Missing metadata on .wav

[ilpelle]

Hi all
when I render a song, if I set some field (title, artist etc) in Project Render Metadata for scheme ID3 (MP3) I can find them on the resulting .MP3, but if I set the same data on INFO (WAV) scheme these data are not written (see attach): where I'm wrong?

Many thanks in advance

Can you attach or link to the actual rendered .wav file? I think it's likely that the metadata is embedded, but whatever application that is a screenshot of (windows explorer?) does not recognize/support INFO metadata.

the WAV is about 100MB so I don't know how attach it...

here the properties of the two files, the WAV's one is empty

Create a short wav-file(1 second or so) with the embed-metadata-checkbox enabled. After that, put the resulting file into a zip-archive, as zip is accepted by the forum.

This short file should be enough to show the problem.

Actually, no need. I can confirm that Windows explorer file properties don't display INFO, or in fact any kind of .wav metadata as far as I can tell.

So I don't think this is a REAPER issue, I think it's just something that Windows doesn't support.

Accctually, windows explorer can recognize INFO metadata, but only if it is the last chunk of data in the file. Generally metadata is placed at the start of a file so that programs that scan for it don't have to read the entire file. We'll think about whether we should make an exception for INFO metadata.
