Meta 2.5.1 Overview

Meta is a music tag editor for macOS. It’s for DJs, musicians, podcasters and anyone with a growing digital music collection. Meta’s sidebar converts a selected group of tracks into a shared workspace, so any change to a tag, artwork, or metadata is applied to the entire selection immediately. It’s far faster to keep a library consistent, rather than having to open files one by one. The app works with virtually all common audio formats found in a typical music collection, including MP3, MP4, M4A, FLAC, Ogg, OGA, SPX, WAV, and AIFF, and supports multiple metadata standards — ID3v1, ID3v2.3, ID3v2.4, iTunes MP4, Vorbis comments, and APE tags switchable through Metadata Preferences depending on the format being edited. 2.5.1 is an update to 2.5, which is available on the developer’s site and Setapp. Meta is compatible with macOS 10.13 and above. The latest version of Meta is 29.8 MB in Download size. Meta is highly rated on iOS and has the rating of 4.4 on iOS.

Key Features

Editing Batch Metadata Write metadata to multiple audio tracks at once and don't edit each file separately. Saves a lot of time when cleaning up an entire album or discography. Support for wide audio formats Meta supports the most common audio formats: MP3, MP4, M4A, FLAC, Ogg, OGA, SPX, WAV and AIFF. This should cover the vast majority of files in a typical music library. Multiple Metadata Standards Support With Metadata Preferences you can change the metadata formats – ID3v1, ID3v2.3, ID3v2.4, iTunes MP4, Vorbis comments and APE tags – to ensure your files are compatible with different file types. Cover Search The app comes with a built-in Cover Finder, which allows users to search and select artwork for their tracks and albums, so they can download high quality covers in their preferred size inside the app. Auto artwork scaling and compression Set Meta to automatically scale, crop and compress album artwork when a new image is set. This keeps the file size of the audio manageable rather than bloated with oversized cover art. Track Number Help Streamline the process of numbering tracks consistently across an album or folder, removing the tedium of manually correcting track order metadata one file at a time. Find and Replace with Regular Expressions Search and replace characters, words, or strings across metadata fields, with support for regular expressions (patterns) for more advanced, rule-based corrections. Folder Organization by Tags Keep your library organized by artist, album, or other metadata fields without the need for manual file organization, automatically sorting files into folders based on their music tags. iTunes Integration: With a simple keyboard shortcut, you can easily add selected tracks directly to iTunes, or refresh their metadata, streamlining the handoff between the metadata editing and library playback.
