AIFF & MetaData

Two more conversion programs that will also work for ID3 metadata passthrough convert to AIF (and other formats) from WAV with ID3 are:
MediaHuman Audio Converter (Win and Mac)
XLD (X Lossless Decoder) Converter (Mac) (open source)

I don’t know if other mastering programs support AIF metadata, but there are these conversion options if you write the ID3 in Wavelab WAV and then convert to AIF. And AFAIK Wavelab is the only program in existence that supports reading and writing all possible WAV metadata, BWF RIFF iXML aXML ID3 CART, so it has that one huge advantage.

p.s. if you install MediaHuman on windows, you might want to decline adaware and bing in the “custom” install setup. mac, that doesn’t apply.
