About this application

BWF MetaEdit is a dedicated metadata tool created by MediaArea.net SARL for working with Broadcast Wave Format (BWF) audio files on Linux platforms. Distributed under the permissive 0BSD license, the application enables users to inspect, insert, modify, and export embedded technical and descriptive metadata fields within BWF compliant audio files.

The application supports standard chunk structures including bext, info, and custom metadata fields used in audio archiving and broadcast environments. Users can perform batch metadata operations, validate file compliance against established BWF standards, and export metadata records into structured formats such as XML or CSV for cataloging and verification.

Operating exclusively on Linux desktop environments, BWF MetaEdit focuses strictly on metadata manipulation and validation rather than audio editing or processing. It provides both command-line and graphical interfaces to accommodate automated ingest pipelines as well as manual inspection workflows.
