Cleanup music tags, find artworks, and tidy your digital music collection with Meta.
Meta is a smart music tag editor that streamlines the editing of audio metadata. It allows you to write tags to any number of audio tracks, and to organize files consistently. Cleanup messy tags, find missing info, organize files, etc. Built for DJs, musicians, podcasters, and all music collectors.
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.

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.
Text replacements can be performed either iteratively or in a single-go, using the “Replace All” option.
Additionally, Meta offers a more advanced way to do text-replacements, called pattern matching.
Patterns allow you to describe formats composed of text and capture groups (blue tokens), and to reuse the captured text in the replace field, as you see fit.
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).
