Overview Of Take Metadata Stored In Files - Zoom F4 Operation Manual

Overview of take metadata stored in files
The F writes a variety of information (metadata) to files
during recording.
When these files are read by an application that supports
metadata, you should be able to check and use the saved
information.
HINT
• Metadata is data that contains information related to other data.
The F saves scene names and take numbers, for example,
as metadata in audio files.
• A chunk is a unit that contains multiple data in a single block.
• To use BEXT and iXML chunk metadata, an application that sup-
ports both data formats is necessary.
WAV file metadata
The metadata saved in files recorded by the F in WAV
format is collected in BEXT (Broadcast Audio Extension) and
iXML chunks.
For details about the metadata saved in these chunks, see
"Metadata contained in BEXT chunks in WAV files" (→ P .152),
"Metadata contained in iXML chunks in WAV files" (→ P .153).
MP3 file metadata
The metadata saved in files recorded by the F in MP3
format is written as ID3v1 tags.
For information about the ID3 fields and formats saved as
metadata, see "Metadata and ID3 fields contained in MP3
files" (→ P .155).
HINT
• F MP3 files conform to the MPEG-1 Layer III standard.
• MP3 metadata cannot be edited.
