Sam ID3 tool - Tag WAV metadata with the CD Text/ID3 Editor and foobar2000

Sam ID3 tool exists to plug a small gap in Samplitude and Sequoia mastering workflows: semi-automatic transfer of ID3 metadata to WAV files. Sam ID3 tool translates between the output of the Samplitude/Sequoia CD Text/ID3 Editor (as a saved CDT file), and the command-line tagging capability of foobar2000 media player (with masstagger component installed). The benefit of this is that you can enter all of your metadata in the CD Text/ID3 Editor where it is stored in the VIP project, and with a few clicks in Sam ID3 tool, update new WAV bounces with the pre-entered metadata.

Additional options are:

• Read the ISRC code written in the WAV aXML chunk by Samplitude/Sequoia and include as an ID3 <ISRC> tag.

• Remove audio markers from WAV files (while writing ID3 tags, or not).

• Completely remove ALL metadata from WAV files including BEXT, INFO, CUE, aXML, iXML, ID3, MD5.

This is pretty heavily tested but as always, use is completely at your own risk.
