If you’re a musician, DJ, or music enthusiast, chances are you care deeply about your music. Meta helps with every aspect of managing a digital music collection, and saves you time when you rip vinyls or download music from third-party stores. Key Features: - Batch Editing of Tags & Cover-Art - Batch Cover-Art Adjustments (scale, crop, compress) - Batch String Transformations - Batch Compose Track Numbers - Find Tags & Hi-Quality Album Covers Online - Find and Replace Text, Words, Regular Expressions - Rename Files (based on tags) - Create Directory Structures (based on tags) - Extract Tags (from filenames, paths, other tags) - Compose Tags (based on a pattern of text and other tags) - Built-In File Management Tools (move to recent, preview, reveal, remove) - Import/Export of Playlist - Import/Export of Tags as CSV - Talks to your preferred Music-library (iTunes, Music, Doppler…) Broad Media Support Meta supports all popular audio file formats such as: - MP3 (ID3v1, ID3v2, APE) - MP4, M4A, M4B, M4V (Atom) - FLAC (Vorbis Comment) - OGG, OGA, OPUS, SPEEX (Vorbis Comment) - AIFF, WAV (ID3v2, RIFF-Info) - DSF, DSDIFF (ID3v2) Customisable Interface Meta allows you to define tag-panel (sidebar) configurations: groups of tags you want to edit most often. Just pick which tags to display in each setting, and name it. You'll then be able to switch between each layout at will and edit the tags associated (ex: Publishing, Classical, Podcasts…). Fast, Clean, Reliable Meta is a native and robust macOS app powered by Taglib, a trusted and proven open-source tagging engine. Edits will be mostly instantaneous, and there will be no need for manual saving: what you see is what you get.

    The best tag editor, far and away
    This is the best tag editor I've ever used, on any platform. Absolutely killer app that does one thing and does it very very well. I love the templates for creating titles and filenames. I use this all the time to create playlists and files that for players like VLC or to burn an MP3 DVD to play on an offline stereo or another hardware player. Indispensable if you need to manipulate MP3 tags in bulk. Show more

    One of the best music metadata managers.
    Does exactly what you'd expect a good one to do. The UI is fantastic, and the app functions well.

    The best metadata app
    I work for an indie label, we use this for our entire catalog. It's enabled us to edit our data quickly and easily. My favorite app!

    Excellent App
    For my 600 CD’s FLAC ripping project I needed something to help re-tag, and re-org my Folders and Library. I tried about 10 other apps. They were all too difficult and cumbersome to use. This app is great. It is intuitive and easy to use. I was able to tag, find art work, change folder setting, easy no issue. The support is good and responsive. Very pleased with the purchase.

    Really good app and universal!
    Maybe I missed it, but I wish the app store would show universal apps. In any case this is a good looking and very functional app.

    best tag editor
    like every APP always need a improvements, with the cover finder got a huge tool for anyone like all set, one nice future update will be a tag updates from discogs, amazon or any on line data base. Show more

    The best music tag editor, by far!
    I've used a lot of Doug's AppleScripts and other tag editor for managing my library, but Meta is by far the fastest. It's also looks great :-)

    poor experience (but growing on me?)
    Doesn't save any sort of state so every time you open, you have to navigate to your files and load metadata for all your files from scratch. This can take hours. Crashes often, so then have to load all metadata from scratch, potentially costing you hours. Automates virtually nothing. You will get no assistance from web databases of music like Musicbrainz, discogs, lastfm. You will have to manually edit all metadata with no assistance. This app is probably ok if you just download or rip stuff and want to get it into itunes piecemeal, but is not great for managing a library you have no interest in putting into iTunes/Music. UPDATE after more time giving the app a chance: I may have been using it wrong or at least in a way it wasn't intended. It seems it is best used as a scalpel. In other words, don't load your full library into the app every time you launch, but rather go in and edit specific artists/albums. When I limit its use to manage a catalog of local music for my bluesound home audio system, it is much more manageable. Still occasionally the app struggles to save metadata to files and often gets stuck forcing me to cancel and close/reopen. With some stability improvements and future integrations of internet sources of info will possibly make this a 4 or 5 star app. Until then, it is just the best looking id3 tag editor, but not quite the best.

    Well designed app
    I've been using Meta off an on for a few years. I had several hundred CDs that I imported into iTunes, but there was always something needing correction. Meta was perfect for this task, allowing me to change track name, album name, artist, cover art, etc. My only suggestion would be a change to the file naming process to have a token to allow automatic numbering of tracks, useful when combining double CDs. Other than that, perfect! Show more
