How to edit audio metadata online

Update audio titles, artists, and supported tags without re-encoding the sound. Add compatible cover art or edit up to 10 files in a batch—no signup required.

  1. 1

    Choose single or batch mode

    Edit one file in detail or add up to 10 files that share album-level information.

  2. 2

    Upload the audio

    The editor detects MP3, FLAC, WAV, M4A, or OGG and reads available metadata.

  3. 3

    Update tags and artwork

    Edit the visible fields and optionally add or replace compatible cover art. In Single File, clearing a text field removes that supported value. Batch shared fields only replace values when checked.

  4. 4

    Save and download

    Write the metadata to new files and download them individually or as a ZIP in batch mode.

Why edit audio metadata?

Make a small collection easier to browse

Correct inconsistent artist and album spelling in supported files. Check each track title separately before saving. Embedded tags are different from filenames, and player libraries may need a rescan to display changes.

Replace missing artwork

Add a JPG or PNG to MP3, FLAC or M4A, save, and open the downloaded copy in your player. WAV and OGG artwork writing is not offered here. A player may cache an old image even after the file changes.

Label a WAV recording for handoff

Set its title and artist without converting the recording. This page intentionally exposes only those two WAV fields. Verify the recipient’s application reads them; WAV tag support varies between players.

Apply shared album details safely

In Batch Edit, import up to 10 files and check only the shared fields you intend to replace. Review each title and track number, save, then inspect completion statuses before downloading the ZIP. Unsupported fields are skipped for their format.

Try updating one file before editing a batch

Start with a copy of an audio file and check it in the player where you actually use it.

  1. 1

    Read the current tags

    Choose Single File, import your audio, and wait for its fields to load. The format selector identifies the workflow; it is not an audio converter.

  2. 2

    Make a small change

    Correct the Title or Artist. Add artwork only if the detected format supports it. Choose Save Metadata, then Download Updated File.

  3. 3

    Verify the downloaded copy

    Open or reimport the downloaded file and check the changed field. Keep your original until your destination player displays the intended tags. Move to Batch Edit only when the single-file result works for your workflow.

Metadata editing limits and privacy

Audio copy, not a universal tag archive

Saving uses stream copy rather than re-encoding audio. The container is rewritten, so do not assume every custom tag, chapter, lyric, or non-audio stream survives unchanged. Keep originals when those details matter.

Batch limits

Batch Edit accepts up to 10 files, 200 MiB per file and 500 MiB total. Browser memory can impose a lower practical limit. ZIP download includes successfully processed files; check failed items separately.

Artwork and text have different controls

This workflow adds or replaces artwork in MP3, FLAC and M4A. Removing a newly chosen image only cancels that replacement; it does not remove existing embedded artwork. This is not a complete metadata-sanitization tool.

No automatic music lookup

You provide the tags and artwork. There is no automatic MusicBrainz lookup, fingerprint identification, release verification, or filename-to-tag batch rule engine.

Free local-file processing

No signup or payment is required. Local files are read and processed in your browser; remote imports and encoder downloads require network requests. Changes are delivered as new downloads rather than overwriting the original file.

Why do the tags look different in my player?

The old title or artwork still appears

Make sure you opened the downloaded copy, not the original. Refresh or rescan the player’s library. Different players read different tag fields and may cache artwork.

Some batch values did not change

Only checked shared fields are applied, and only where the target format supports them. WAV exposes title and artist, so it will not receive the album or track fields shown for other formats.

A field or cover control is missing

Check the format table above. Formats do not share the same writing support. Renaming a file extension does not change its container or make unsupported tags work.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does changing metadata affect audio quality?

No. The editor copies the audio stream and rewrites supported tags rather than re-encoding the sound.

The editor supports MP3, FLAC, WAV, M4A, and OGG with format-specific fields.

Yes for MP3, FLAC, and M4A in the current workflow. JPG and PNG are accepted.

Yes. Add up to 10 files and choose which shared fields should replace existing values.

WAV metadata and artwork support is less consistent across players, so the editor limits fields to safer options.

No. Updated files are created as new downloads.
