AFRwav Interface

Features

Built to bridge the gap between production software and WideOrbit Automation for Radio.

🔄

Universal Format Standardization

Drop in almost any audio format (MP3, M4A, FLAC, WMA). AFRwav automatically transcode non-compliant files into 44.1kHz, 16-bit Stereo PCM WAVs.

🏷️

Metadata Translation

AFRwav automatically extracts legacy SS32 cart chunks, native ID3v1/v2 tags from MP3s, and existing WO XML payloads.

✂️

Broadcast Cue Markers

Set Intro and EOM markers. AFRwav writes them into both standard RIFF `cue` chunks and Adobe XMP Dynamic Media (xmpDM) payloads, for compatibility with WO AFR, Adobe Audition, and other audio software.

🔍

Precision Audio Scrubbing

Features a dynamic, high-resolution visual waveform.

🖱️

Drag-and-Drop Workflow

Bypass the file menus. Drag audio straight from your desktop or Windows Explorer directly into the AFRwav window for quick loading.

Supported Import Formats

  • Standard WAV: passthrough of existing 44.1k/16-bit/Stereo files. Automatic conversion of other sample and bit rate wav files.
  • Compressed Formats: MP3, M4A, AAC, and WMA are automatically transcoded to uncompressed linear PCM.
  • High-Res Formats: FLAC and AIFF are down-sampled to broadcast standards.

Metadata Ecosystem

  • WideOrbit XMP: Native parsing and generation of the WideOrbit schema.
  • Adobe xmpDM: Marker lists strictly formatted with `rdf:parseType="Resource"` for aggressive ingestion scanners.
  • Legacy Systems: Read support for Scott Studios chunks and universal ID3v1/ID3v2 tags.

Download

Requires Windows 10 or later.

✅ Release Notes (v1.0) 1.0.2
METADATA
XMP Masking Bypass

Fixed an issue where standard RIFF cue chunks are ignored if an XMP payload is present. AFRwav now dynamically writes xmpDM:markers directly into the XML payload using rdf:parseType="Resource" logic to force compatible Intro and EOM markers.

WORKFLOW
Safe Overwrites & Workspace Reset

Now drops the NAudio engine lock immediately, allowing users to safely overwrite the file currently loaded in the UI. Post-save, the UI and memory arrays are now flushed ready for the next file.

METADATA
ID3 Extractor

Added a binary reader to parse ID3v2 and ID3v1 tags from compressed audio formats (like MP3) before the background transcoding engine converts them to WAV.
