I was looking for an app that allowed me to easily edit the ID3 tags, and allow me to add ISRC codes for the music I write. Before purchasing, I did some homework and looked to see what apps were out there. I even checked iTunes to see if was an option that I had overlooked somehow. Not finding many apps, I came to the App Store and just typed “metatags” into the search. What caught my attention was the beautiful, single spindle cassette tape icon. Once I clicked on it, I went to the creator’s website (why don’t more people do this before buying an app?), and read all the information there. While I didn’t initially see what I wanted to see (the ISRC option), I liked what I did see so much that I emailed the company, and I aksed if it had the option to add the ISRC codes. The next day, I got an email from Benjamin (the author of Meta), and he explained that the ISRC option was indeed in there. So this morning I bought Meta, loaded the new dance track I wrote into it, and easily found the option to add the ISRC code tag option to my MP3! Now, I just wanted to say that if people would A) check the develper’s website, B) email the company if they had further questions, and C) download a trial from the developer’s website if it’s offered. Do this BEFORE just clicking the Buy button, and being disappointed enough to write a bad review. Maybe the previous reviews were for a previous version of the app, and if that is indeed the case, fine. I’ll be using Meta for all the music I write. Thank you Benjamin, for a easy to use, well thought out tool! Show more

This app has the potential to be truly great…However, the lack of the following two fuctions makes it not as good as it may seem: 1) Doesn`t support .dsf files 2) Cannot “duplicate all metadata from top to bottom / bottom to top” (In Yate, users can easily duplicate all metadata from files to files) If these two problems are all fixed, this app will be my best 5 stars app. Before that happens, I won`t use it because its lack of necessary functions. I`ll update the review if this app does improve. Show more

I love this app. It makes copying and pasting my iTunes tags from lower quality AAC/MP3s over to FLAC and ALAC painless. Couldn’t ask for much more.

I absolutely loved Meta for a while (before this version), and now the new Yosemite inspired blew my mind. I’m a Mac app developer myself, and I can tell this app is very much polished and made with a huge concern of details. I have been managing my music files with iTunes for a long time, and I must say it’s good for a lot of things, but iTunes just can’t get music tag edition right + a lot of other things makes me not so happy with it. Meta is great for the way you can rename or extract fields from filenames. Great work! Show more

I just paid for this thing 5 minutes ago, and do I have buyer’s remorse! This thing doesn’t do 1/10 of what the ancient Media Rage does. Media Rage isn’t even supposed to mess with m4as of any kind, yet will find and attach artwork, and allow one to modify such files far beyond what this thing does. What Media Rage won’t do is modify sorting tags even though they are listed. Again, that app is essentially for mp3s yet does more that Meta. Foolishly thinking that what Media Rage does would be the norm and that Meta sepcifically listing m4as as one of its reasons for existing would make it my all in one tag editor, I was shocked at how little this thing does. Even if I could just edit the sorting tags, I would feel better, but those tags aren’t even available. Instead, I just threw away $15 on an app that does only a tenth that Media Rage has been doing for my Apple Lossless and ACC files for years. I hate to discourage an Apple developer, but get yourself a copy of Media Rage and see what it does. Then make Meta do all that Media Rage can do for mp3s for m4as of all kinds. As it is, I’m going back to Media Rage, because it can do more for and to Apple Lossless and ACC files that Meta can even though it’s not designed to work with those files. Show more

This app may well have lots of capability, but the UI is not at all intuitive. Additionally, I had strange changes made to my data for no apparent reason. Probably my error, but more evidence of a poor UI. Show more

I started off by searching for a great ID3 tag editor for Mac. As many know, I’m assuming because every review seems to say, PC’s have the best ID3 tag editors. Not many are present for the mac for some very strange reason. With that said, I wanted a simple, yet effective ID3 tag editor to batch edit files that have wrong copyright/encoding information. Somehow music files tend to become corrupted easily so all the Metadata is wrong. This application does just that. You can batch remove comments, batch remove encoding information, batch remove artwork, etc. I will admit that there is a minor learning curve for a few features. One such feature is removing all files after importing them. In order to do this you left click the “-“ symbol and “Remove all” pops up. The average, simple user would have a hard time figuring that out or knowing that. 5 stars simply because it does exactly as advertised. Yes, there are other apps that can do what Meta does. But they’re 15, 20, 30 dollars. This is 10. …and it’s a native app on your computer. You also know you’re not downloading extra spyware/malware because it’s from the App Store. So get this!

Why is no one writin good reviews about this app..? Odd. I am currently redoing all the F^ck us that iTunes Match has forced upon me and this app is rocking the socks off this joint. Show more

I’ve recently been saving my CD’s to flac and playing them on my OPPO blu ray and Onkyo HF player. However, flac is a tricky format to tag and even an extensive seach wasnt very helpful with some online taggers that were very confusing to use and not very intuitive. I used this once and it work right away. album art, correct track lists, artist, etc. Yeah, it’s $10 but in the scope of things, if your listening to FLac Files, you’ve probably already spent some dough on a good player and headphones so sping the extra for an easy tagger.

Finally an intuitive, elegant, way to edit music metadata seamlessly across all the main file formats (for me mp3, flac, aac). Allows you to easily see missing artwork, tag formats and of course adjust or add them. An ability to automatically edit tags (remove, replace, move between fields etc) based on regular expressions is all that is missing…. Show more

With the last update, the app made itself the default application for iTunes files, so that double-clicking a m4v file lauches the Meta app, even though Meta cannot even handle m4v file tagging. Show more

love this app it only needs to dd the feature to number tracks automatickly by pressing one button!!!! other than that this does it all love it please add this feature,,,... Show more

Great app with a great interface! It has all the basic functions you need for meta tag editing and compared to other apps the interface really makes the difference!

Tried to drag and drop artwork. Didn't work. Tags that were already complete showed as empty. Tags that were empty in iTunes showed as completely accurate.

Does exactly what I need it to do. No issues so far. Price is way too high for such a simple program, but no other options out there that I could find. Show more
