Florian Request: RIFF CART Chunk

General Discussion
1

Now that MP3Tag supports WAV/RIFF, I would like to request that CART chunk capability be added in addition to INFO.

Cart is a tagging format used heavily in broadcast. It would be helpful in many broadcast facilities to have a tagger that could read/write these chunks.

The chunk format is fixed length, fixed field length, so it should be relatively easy to parse and construct.

Here is the Cart chunk information dialog from an old version of Adobe Audition:

I second this! Almost 8 years later :slight_smile: Easily the best tag editor I've used. Would be huge for managing my imaging and station libraries.

If anyone is interested in the standards used (without paying for the detailed specifications):

Here you can find some PowerShell code to read (a part of) the cart chunk data.
Here you can find a free available data definition for the cart chunk data part.
