Yes. CoolEdit 2000 *will* preserve the file flags. Just to confirm this, I recorded a 24-bit SF while dropping file flags in on-the-fly. I then opened the 24-bit SF in CoolEdit 2000, renormalized the file (so that I could say that I had done some processing) and saved the effected file as a NEW 24-bit raw-pcm file. Microsound was able to make a segment from the new file without trouble and, when I clicked the "Read File Flags" command, they popped right up where they should be.

CoolEdit Pro is the fancier workstation-like version which can't hold a candle to MTU's speed and flexibility. CoolEdit 2000 is the basic two-channel sound file editor/processor which has some terrific algorithms for sample-rate conversion, broadband noise removal, comp/lim and the like. I use it extensively to process things that MTU software doesn't do or doesn't do as well (sorry, Dave). CE2K makes a wonderful companion to Microeditor and can freely exchange even the 24-bit file format. Download it right now. It's worth every cent and more.
