Time Reference Specifies the timecode of the audio file, calculated since 12:00 a.m. (midnight). Select from the
hh:mm:ss.ddd or Samples options. This option is commonly referred to as the clip’s timestamp. It is used by Audition
for spot inserting in a multitrack session.
Coding History Provides a text box for you to describe all coding processes applied to the waveform. Adobe Audition
automatically adds information every time BWF data is modified and the file is saved. You can manually edit this
information.
Write All Metadata Specifies whether to write metadata At the Start of the File or At the End of the File. Metadata
writtenatthestartofaBroadcastWavefileworkswithmostsystems,butsomeexpectmetadatatocomeattheend
of the file. For these systems, choose the option to write metadata At the End of the File.
UMID Specifies Unique Material Identifier Data (UMID) according to the SPMTE 330M Standard. This information
is read-only.
Using Shift-JIS Enables display and editing of Japanese characters in the existing text fields, provided that you
already have a Japanese font installed on your computer. If a file contains Shift-JIS metadata that is not displayed in
the Broadcast Wave tab, the metadata will be preserved.

Add or edit XMP metadata
The XMP File Info command lets you add Extensible Metadata Platform (XMP) information to audio files that are
in WAV, mp3, or CEL format. Applications that support XMP—including all Adobe applications—can read, edit, and
share this XMP metadata across databases, file formats, and platforms.
XMP metadata gives you many more information fields than File Info metadata.

3 Set properties as desired, and click OK.
Note: In Adobe Bridge, you can read XMP metadata embedded in a WAV or mp3 audio file either in the Metadata panel
or by choosing File > File Info. (See “Importing with Adobe Bridge” on page 50.)
