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

Does exactly what you'd expect a good one to do. The UI is fantastic, and the app functions well.

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!

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.

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.

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

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 :-)

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.

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

I'm finally able to fix the metadata in all my ripped CDs. The lack of consistency in the original coding is frustrating, but since I downloaded this app I've got my music library just about where I want it. And I can find what I want to play! Show more

Worth the price. Very well done, good user interface. Consider adding a way for Cover finder to work automatically over the selected albums and offer cover art to be accepted or not one by one. Would serve as a great first pass that would improve utility. Also consider adding a conection to Dicogs or similar to map from filenames to album/artist/songs. Show more

This app is so good. I don't understand why it's not higher up in the app store ratings. Well anyways, this app does a lot of what you can with other simple tools, but better, and then it goes beyond into the area only people who produce music or have large collections will appreciate. I'm sure there are some features it could add, but I've been happy with it and consider it money well spent. It's not librarian, it's just an easy way to open a bunch of tracks and fix all the annoying metadata issues. Two of my most used features are 1) copy and pasting metadata and artwork for a new export/bounce (how many times have I said this is the one) and 2) using it to add tracks (once I've checked the metadata) to my local Apple Music library.

Meta is a great, simple tag editor. I've tried many others that are extemely confusing with terrible documentation... resulting in me screwing up the tags on a bunch of files. Using Meta, it's very clear what a given action/button does. I've been cleaning up my FLAC library with Meta, and it's been very easy & reliable to use. Highly recommended! Show more

If there's one thing I can't stand, it's messy digital libraries of anything, and since my music is sacred and need a tool to sort it all out. Meta is the best tag editor I have ever used. It's fast, user friendly, and the developers are responsive. Highly recommend!! Show more

If you're reading this review its most likely because you have an music library that is very important to you. I did my research (and trialed as another reviewer mentioned) before purchasing this and have no regrets. If you care about your music library as much as I do then do yourself a favor and DO NOT gamble on free / cheap competitors of this software that are abundant on the itunes store. As a software engineer myself, I can tell you that the team behind this app takes their product seriously and will not harm your library. A small design flaw could mean hours of repair to your music data at least, or worse could cause permanant damage to your library. A couple suggestions: - The app is fairly intuituve but I definitely had to do quite a bit of trial and error before feeling comfortable and efficient. The website does a good job explaining the functionality of the app but the Pattern-Based Operations section could be expanded upon. An "app tour" might help users when first using / opening the app. - When performing operation on a track(s) I would sometimes get eror dialogs due to XYZ reasons. The error dialog might read something like "error 3002". Im guessing each tag engine has a documentation site of error codes and their descriptions which would be very helpful to display in the Meta error dialogs instead of the error codes. - Although its pretty user friendly, it would be nice if there was a option for advanced users to use real regular expressions in the "pattern based operations" windows as oposed to the watered-down pattern editor.

...to have this load the files I actually want to work on and not a thousand ones I don't. There seems to be no way to work on individual folders. No matter 'what' folder I select, the same random 1000 files load even if the folder only has 10 (like all the 990 files from the parent above). Really mystified at the UI. Show more

$17.99 for an app that does not inport track Metadata. You also have to pay $3.99 just to import artwork. I could have used iTunes to edit the tags for free. Show more

It's great being able to hit the "send to iTunes" button to make all the changes. However, since upgrading to Mojave, I get this error "Some files couldn't be added to iTunes". I wonder if it's due to permissions. When I launched the app for the first time after upgrading to Mojave, it asked me to allow Accessibility options, but I'm not sure if it stuck? Who knows ¯_(ツ)_/¯ Show more

This was the best. By far. Clean UI, does in-depth things like creating tags from filenames, and is very easy to use.

First, I was not paid to do this review, in fact I bought the app before doing it. Veresion 1.6.7. I tried several programs before settling on this one. Only used it for 1 day so far. My first impression is that it does what I want it to do: edit meta tags for my LP converted library in the workflow I’m using, without populating information with someone else’s idea of field content (like the Album Artist field) which is lain wrong for some apps. Took off one star for a non-traditional approach… But, it works fine a short learning curve. No manual needed. Pro: In short, it’s very iTunes friendly! Easy metadata import (file or iTunes), selecting multiple tracks gives the ability to enter common fields all the selected entries, easy export to existing iTunes albums or to the file sources (if not in iTunes). Can’t speak for other apps. Con: Not a traditional spreadsheet list editing format. Unlike other editors it’s user-based, not spreadsheet-based. Took some playing with it, for me to be comfortable.
