Overview

The Audio Metadata Editor allows you to easily view, add, or update metadata tags like artist, album, title, genre, year, track number, and comments in your audio files. It writes these tags directly into a new file, copying the audio stream losslessly if the output format matches the source, or transcoding it if you choose a different target format.

When to use

When you need to organize your music library by adding missing artist, album, and track details to audio files.
When you want to update metadata tags on a podcast episode or voice recording before publishing.
When you need to convert an audio file to a different format while simultaneously updating its metadata tags.

How it works

1Upload your audio file (up to 100MB) in the primary input field.
2Fill in the metadata fields you want to update, such as Artist, Album, Title, Genre, Year, Track Number, or Comment.
3Select your desired output format from the available options (MP3, AAC, M4A, OGG, Opus, FLAC, or WAV).
4Click the action button to write the tags; the tool will copy the audio stream losslessly if the format is unchanged, or transcode it if a new format is selected.

Use cases

Tagging self-recorded music tracks with artist, album, and track numbers before sharing them.
Adding descriptive comments and release years to archived voice memos or podcast episodes.
Converting WAV files to tagged MP3s to save storage space while preserving track information.

Examples

1. Tagging a Self-Released Single

Independent Musician

Background

An indie artist has exported a final master of their new song as a WAV file but needs to add metadata before distributing it to preview listeners.

Problem

The WAV file lacks artist, title, and year tags, and needs to be converted to a highly compatible MP3 format.

How to use

Upload the WAV file, enter the artist name, song title, release year, and select MP3 as the output format.

Artist: 'Luna Eclipse', Title: 'Starlight Drift', Year: '2024', Output Format: 'mp3'

Outcome

A tagged MP3 file is generated with the metadata embedded, ready for distribution.

2. Organizing Podcast Episodes

Podcast Producer

Background

A producer has an M4A recording of a podcast episode that is missing track numbers and comments.

Problem

Listeners' media players show 'Unknown Album' and no episode description.

How to use

Upload the M4A file, fill in the Album field with the podcast name, set the Track Number to the episode number, add a summary in the Comment field, and keep M4A as the output format.
