It doesn't need to be done in Rivendell. It should be straightforward to have a script scan the Rivendell CART and CUTS tables regularly, compare each record with the corresponding .wav file, and update a CART chunk in the latter accordingly. Rob On Mon, 1 Jul 2013, Andy Sayler wrote: O

Hello, Just throwing ideas about but other systems store some of the metadata (artist, title, cuepoints, etc.) in the WAVE files as CART chunk. Does Rivendell do this (it didn't last time I checked) or could it be a feature to add in the future? Upshot is you can then import the files into other

Hi all, Sorry if this has come up before, but we're interested in moving our WAV library to FLAC at some point for the space savings. Last I heard Rivendell didn't support FLAC natively or something like that. Can someone please clarify: 1. What is the status of using FLAC for cut encodings? 2. I
