This has been true for Rivendell as well for quite some time.

The main limitation with the current scheme is the relative paucity of
available metadata fields. For formats that offer transparent audio quality,
you’re basically limited to WAV, which means BWF/CartChunk for metadata. Not
much there beyond Title, Artist and Client (although there is support for
providing Start/End, Segue and Talk marker data, a facility which Rivendell
takes full advantage of). Various automation vendors have proprietary
extensions that provide more fields, but those are pretty much limited to
interoperation within that vendor’s product offerings (and Rivendell, which
will read a number of those formats).
While we could go down the road of inventing Yet Another One-Off Metadata
Format, it’d far more useful to use something that is a bit more industry
standard while also offering the ability to capture the full range of available
fields. Those may be incompatible requirements. Any ideas?
Cheers!
