Cleanup messy tags | Organize your digital music collection
Meta is a smart music tag editor that streamlines the editing of audio metadata: Write tags to audio tracks, cleanup metadata, and organize files to your liking. Built for DJs, musicians, podcasters, and all music lovers.
Meta is built around a simple idea: edit many files as easily as one.
Select a group of files, and the sidebar becomes a shared workspace. Any change you make there, to tags, artwork, and metadata in general, is applied instantly across the entire selection.

Clever Artwork Editing
Album artwork can be set or replaced by dragging images in: Select desired tracks, drag an image, release and you're all set.
You can fine-tune existing artworks — scale, crop, compress — and automatically optimize new images, keeping your file sizes small.

Compose Filenames, Tags, Directories and more…
Rename Files
Rename files according to a suggested file-name pattern, composed of text and some of the file's own metadata.
Create Directories
Organise files into sub-directories, thanks to a custom pattern. Slash / characters act as folder delimiters.
Convert to Tags
Extract Tag information from file names, file paths, or other metadata, by matching it against a pattern.
Number Tracks
Arrange your album or compilation once by dragging tracks in the desired order, then let Meta assign track numbers for you.
Find & Replace Text in the Tags
Meta features a unique and powerful Find and Replace interface, that allows you to search for text, words, and regular expressions, in the Tags.
Patterns allow you to describe formats composed of text and capture groups, and to reuse the captured text in the replace field. Learn more
