please consider $projectparentfolder
for use cases like:
> Artist or Project Name #1
>> Tune #1
>> Tune #2
> Artist or Project Name #2
>> Tune #1
>> Tune #2

Really cool to see these metadata additions!
@deeb: Indeed. Here’s the FR thread.

This seems to work quite well!
I noticed that umlauts (åäö etc) are not translated properly outside of reaper, meaning that the show up correctly in reaper media properties, but not in places such as mp3tag and DDP apps.
When it comes to ISRC codes I think some sort fo wildcard is needed to have them take this data from markers. In the script from X-raym I had him take it from markers containing the string ISRC=XXXXXXXXXXXX. And ISRC= of course being how reaper does ISRCs in the DDP markers.

or better to be able to add metadata fields elements to media items from the item properties window and to regions on the edit region window. Then this data could be used when rendering items or regions.

yes, please do it that way! rendering regions is quite handy when exporting single tracks of an album.

The next build will add a $marker wildcard, so you can do this:

Probably too nitpicky, but I think ID3 in that pic should say ID3v2 to be precise, as there's also ID3v1 (but I think almost nobody uses it anymore so it's probably fine.)

Better to say ID3v2 just to be 100% sure.

just did a quick mp3 render test and yes, it is ID3v2.3 which I think it is also compatible with V1. all good. and ISRC tag was saved correctly too.
I hope there will be tagging for other formats like Flac or Wavpack too

this is really great!
I hope also ISRC in WAV via axml will be added too at some point.
Thanks!

This metadata development is amazing!
Some thoughts about metadata and mastering:
When mastering and exporting individual files for an album, there are lots of metadata to put in the right places.
Consider an album with an Album artist and Album title. These will be common for all exported files. Then each track/song usually has a Title, Artist (often but not always the same as album artist), and ISRC, as well as Year, Genre, Comment etc if these are used. Using for example a global project variable such as $author to pass the Artist name, as in the examples, would be quite limiting.
All commonly used metadata can currently be passed to the DDP export via marker names using the "#TITLE=...|ISRC=...|etc" format for tracks, and "@TITLE=...|etc" for the album.
If this method could somehow be used to pass wildcards to the Render/Metadata embedding as well, then I'd be happy. Or even better if there are more elegant solutions, like heda's suggestion about additional metadata fields for items and regions.
Also hoping for ISRC embedding via the aXML chunk. This is the standard that's being used: https://tech.ebu.ch/docs/tech/tech3285s5.pdf
These features would hopefully make it possible to create all common deliverables for a mastering project from within Reaper, without relying on scripts and external programs. That would be something!

What do you call the metadata that has the thumbnail picture of the album? That would be nice too.

Thinking about this some more, and sorry if this goes too far into feature request-territory. I think the fundamental thing missing in Reaper from a mastering perspective, is some way to represent an "album" or "disc" as well as the corresponding individual "tracks". Or maybe call them "songs" instead, since "Track" already has a different meaning.
When exporting a DDP this can be sort of emulated by using a region to define the bounds of the album, and markers with names beginning with "#" for the start of each song. Metadata for the songs is passed through the "#"-markers, and metadata for the album through a single marker starting with "@" placed somewhere within the export region.
If there was a way to render a region (album/disc) and split into individual files at "#"-markers (songs), while also embedding the DDP-formatted metadata, then we would probably have a very happy bunch of mastering people (myself inculded). Something like a "Split at markers starting with #"-option when rendering.
If there was a more elegant way to add album/disc metadata to the region(s), song metadata to the markers, and then be able to render each album/region to both DDP, as well as individual wave/mp3-files for each song, with full metadata embedding, well then Wavelab/Pyramix/Sequoia/Samplitude/etc would have some serious competition.

I embedded ID3 title/album tags in a rendered wav from within Reaper and tried in foobar2000 and AIMP but both don't display the set tags (ID3 tags embedded in mp3 displayed fine).
If it helps, this is what foobar2000 writes (at the end of the file) when setting the tags from within it:

Thanks, that’s helpful. We had actually already disabled ID3 embedding in .wav files for the next build because there is some ambiguity in how to do it, and it’s not clear how widespread support for reading the tags is.

From RC yes. Expect it in next dev build. You know, feature refinement etc.

Thanks EvilDragon. Just wanted to make sure. Rock on. Got a fun session today with an acoustic guitar player and a singer that want a dozen snippets to put on their website for samples. Gonna let Reaper do all the driving while I chill. :-)
