Hello, how can i read and save metadata of .aif or wav files in pd?
thanks in advace

I think we need to address this. Unless I am mistaken, there is no way to read metadata or markers from a wav or aif file in PD.
I am particularly interested in markers, since this would allow the preparation of sample-accurate loop lengths, or chop-points for beats etc in another package before importing them into PD. I've done some preparatory work looking into the WAV file header, but I'm a bit too busy with other projects at the moment to give it a spin...maybe later.

This is an interesting topic.

What do you think of a different approach where the 'other package' were able to export marker information (e.g. name time-stamp) to a simple text-file usable in Pd? Do you think this would fit the scenarios you mentioned?

In PD extended there is [wavinfo] and [soundfile_info] which gives yout he number of channels, sampling rate, size and other info. Does that help?

Plus soundfile_info was just updated so it works much better. wavinfo
is still somewhat buggy. But yeah, we should have something to read
WAV markers and all of the metadata.

It has been my experience with PD-Extended 0.41.4 that wavinfo does not work on windows.
How does soundfile_info work better with these updates?

Well, for me it actually works on all the .wav files I tried, where
before it failed often.
