This handy little program will read a RIFF Wave (.WAV) file and list all the RIFF chunks and subchunks contained in it. It can be useful to determine quickly which files have embedded text information and/or BWF or CARTchunk metaData. It will also reveal the various small chunks used by audio editing software to identify edit points etc.

ChunkList is available here to download as freeware

This further development of the ChunkList program will also read the contents of the most common subchunks of RIFF, BWF and CARTchunk files. It is particularly useful when metadata is present in a mixture of formats. There is also a built-in player to enable the audio content of the file to be listened to.

ChunkRead is available here to download free for evaluation.

It may then be purchased on-line if required.
