■ WAV le metadata
The metadata saved in les recorded by the in WAV format is col-
lected in BEXT (Broadcast Audio Extension) and iXML chunks.
For details about the metadata saved in these chunks, see "Metadata
contained in BEXT chunks in WAV files" ( →P.185), "Metadata con-
tained in iXML chunks in WAV les" ( →P.186).
■ MP3 le metadata
The metadata saved in les recorded by the in MP3 format is writ-
ten as ID3v1 tags.
For information about the ID3 fields and formats saved as metadata,
