About:
BWFMetaEdit is a command-line tool designed for embedding, validating, and exporting metadata in Broadcast Wave Format (BWF) files. It supports key metadata standards such as INFO, iXML, and ADM, ensuring compliance with EBU and other broadcast specifications. The tool is essential for maintaining file integrity and provenance in professional audio and broadcast workflows.

Key Features:

Embeds and validates BWF, iXML, and ADM metadata
Supports EBU R98 and R128 loudness standards
Batch processing capabilities for multiple files
Exports metadata to CSV, XML, and JSON formats
Cross-platform command-line interface
