sound miner meta data

BlackhawkPBS · Post by **BlackhawkPBS** » Thu Jun 11, 2009 2:34 pm

I was wondering if there was a way to use getid3() to pull meta data that was encoded onto a .wav file using sound miner. There is one field that contains a concatenation of several of the sound miner fields that are needed. That field i can read however there is a track title and cd title that i'd also like to pull off that are encoded with SoundMiner. If this program doesn't do that does anyone know of a program that will read these tags? preferably open source and scriptable.

Can you provide me a link to a small sample file so I can examine how it's tagged? Post or PM me a link to a sample file, please.

The data you're looking for is in [riff][WAVE][SNDM][data].
It looks to be a simple proprietary format, a bunch of concatenated tags in the format:
[taglength] 4 byte // including tagname and size bytes
[tagname] 4 bytes
[datalength] 2 bytes
[flags?] 2 bytes
[data] <datalength> bytes

It should be simple enough to parse. Most likely I'll whip up a couple lines of code over the weekend to handle it.

The attached file will enable SNDM parsing.

The data you want will be in an array in $info['riff']['WAVE']['SNDM'][0]['parsed'] (or $info['riff']['WAVE']['SNDM'][0]['parsed_raw']), for example:
keywords are found in $info['riff']['WAVE']['SNDM'][0]['parsed']['keywords'] or $info['riff']['WAVE']['SNDM'][0]['parsed_raw']['
