Cleanup music tags & organize your digital music collection
Meta is a smart music tag editor that streamlines the editing of audio metadata: Write tags to audio tracks, cleanup metadata, and organize files to your liking. Built for DJs, musicians, podcasters, and all music lovers.
Meta is built around a simple idea: edit many files as easily as one.
Select a group of files, and the sidebar becomes a shared workspace. Any change you make there, to tags, artwork, and metadata in general, is applied instantly across the entire selection.

Easy Artwork Editing
Album artwork can be set or replaced by dragging images in. You can fine-tune existing artwork at any time (scale, crop, compress) and configure Meta to automatically optimize new images, keeping your file sizes minimal.
Convert between Filenames, Tags, Directories…
❖ Convert between tags, file names, file paths, or import from CSV documents
❖ Compose new values, such as tags, file names, or file paths, using Patterns
Rename Files
Rename files according to a suggested file-name pattern, composed of text and some of the file's own metadata.
Create Directories
Organise files into sub-directories, thanks to a custom pattern. Slash / characters act as folder delimiters.
Derive Tags
Extract Tag information from file names, file paths, or other metadata, by matching it against a pattern.
Number Tracks Automatically
Arrange your album or compilation once by dragging tracks in the desired order, then let Meta assign track numbers for you.
Find & Replace Text
Meta features a unique and powerful Find and Replace interface, that allows you to search for text, words, and regular expressions, in the Tags.
Patterns allow you to describe formats composed of text and capture groups, and to reuse the captured text in the replace field.
Meta's sidebar features editing interfaces that help you with the input of some of the more complex tags, like with Multiline Text (Lyrics, Comments…), Tempo (BPM), or Dates (Requiring ISO8601 Formatting).
