Overview

The Audio Metadata Editor allows you to edit or add metadata tags such as artist, album, title, genre, year, track number, and comments to audio files. It writes these tags into a new file without re-encoding the audio, preserving the original sound quality while updating only the metadata.

When to Use

  • •When you need to correct inaccurate or missing metadata tags in audio files for better organization.
  • •To add essential information like album or genre before archiving or sharing your music collection.
  • •When preparing audio files for upload to platforms that rely on metadata for sorting and discovery.

How It Works

  • •Upload your audio file in a supported format, such as MP3, WAV, or FLAC.
  • •Enter the desired metadata tags, including artist, album, title, genre, year, track number, and comment.
  • •Select the output format from options like MP3, AAC, M4A, OGG, Opus, FLAC, or WAV.
  • •Download the new file with updated metadata; the audio stream remains unchanged.

Examples

1. Correcting Artist Name in a Song

Music Enthusiast
Background
A user has an MP3 file where the artist tag is incorrectly set as 'Unknown Artist' instead of the actual artist name.
Problem
The incorrect metadata causes the song to appear unorganized in music players and libraries.
How to Use
Upload the MP3 file, enter the correct artist name in the Artist field, select MP3 as the output format, and download the updated file.
Outcome
The new MP3 file has the accurate artist metadata, and the audio quality remains unchanged.

2. Adding Album Information to a Track

Background
A podcast episode audio file is missing album metadata, which is needed for proper grouping in podcast applications.
Problem
Without album info, the episode is not categorized with other episodes from the same series, leading to disorganization.
How to Use
Upload the audio file, set the Album field to the podcast series name, choose M4A as the output format, and download the file.
Outcome
The audio file now includes album metadata, enhancing organization in media players and apps.
