Metadata Merger

Merge your Metadata using all kind of formats - import into MP3, aacPlus, BWF, etc.

Use the Metadata Merger to combine audio data and metadata.

The Metadata Merger joins linear audio material with additional information (metadata or ID3) to produce a combined temporary format (Intermediate), which can then be processed further.

How can metadata from an existing Data base can be imported in DOBBIN?

The DOBBIN system offers the possibility to merge external metada via the Metadata Merger element. The used structur of these data is widely corresponding to the Broadcast Wave Format (BWF) of the European Broadcasting Union and also to the ID3v2 Format. Most common data bases offers export of metadata in XML Formats, that can be easily edited. In case, the data base doesn't have such possibilities, a conversion interface has to be plugged between the data base and the DOBBIN system.

How can metadata be assigned to audio files?

The input files that are to be merged must have the same file title for this to be possible. This means that an audio file should be accompanied be a correspondingly named metadata file. For example, an audio input file may be named Track01.wav, and should be merged with the metadata file Track01.imp.xml or Track01.id3.xml.

What kind of meta data can be attached to audio files?

All information containt in the Broadcast Wave Format and ID3v2 can be imported. The ID3v2 format implies ID3v1. Additional information as CD Audio PQ data and subcodes, CD Text, DAT - specific information and much more details concerning analog digitizations.
