BWF metadata in FLAC #85

Open ktmf01 opened 1 year ago

ktmf01 commented 1 year ago

Hi all,

For about 6 months now I'm the 'maintainer' of the reference FLAC implementation at https://github.com/xiph/flac I get a lot of feedback from users, but almost exclusively from people maintaining their own, private, relatively small audio collection, and I'd like some feedback from the archiving community.

Because of that I visited the NTTW conference this week. I was pointed by Andrew Weaver to this particular github repo. I'm not sure an issue at this repository is the best place for such feedback, if not, perhaps we can get in touch?

The reason I reach out beyond the community I can currently reach is because of the '--keep-foreign-metadata' option in FLAC, which enables storing BWF metadata (and other WAV metadata) in a FLAC file. I would like to improve on it, but am unsure how. Besides that, you might have some pointers for me on specific improvements that might be beneficial for your use cases.

Thanks in advance
