WAV metadata FAQs
What can I see in a WAV file?
We expose RIFF INFO fields, BEXT/iXML broadcast metadata, cue points, and sample rate/bit depth/channels from WAV files without touching audio.
Do you change or recompress my WAV file?
No. The viewer only reads metadata from your WAV file and shows it back—streams, pixels, and content stay untouched.
What if my WAV file has little or no metadata?
Some WAV files ship with minimal fields. We show everything present—if a tag is missing (like GPS or author), there simply isn't any data to display.
Can I verify attachments or previews in a WAV?
Yes. If the WAV contains embedded previews, cover art, fonts, or thumbnails, we surface those entries so you know what ships with the file.
Can I copy the WAV metadata for documentation?
You can copy the on-screen results to include in tickets, audits, or delivery notes without modifying the original WAV.
