One of S_TOOLS-STx's strengths lies in its non-destructive coupling of sound and analysis data. This 'metadata' includes
- segments
- segment annotations (attributes)
- extracted parameters
- classification based on MPEG-7 (being developed)
Each sound file has, by default, an associated XML metadata file with the name MarriageOfFigaro.wav.xml (if the sound file is called MarriageOfFigaro.wav). By default, each time S_TOOLS-STx starts up, the metadata for each sound file in the current DataSet is loaded. When S_TOOLS-STx is then terminated, the metadata is written to disk. This behaviour can be modified (see Importing and Exporting DataSet Metadata).
