Metadata Dialog

The Metadata dialog allows you to define the metadata to be embedded in your audio file.

To open the Metadata dialog, open the Metadata window, and click Edit.

Further processing of the metadata may vary, depending on the particular file type.

When opening the Metadata dialog for files in the Audio Editor, you can edit the metadata that is saved with the audio file. This metadata is saved to disk at a later point in time.

When opening the Metadata dialog for files in the Audio Montage window or the Batch Processor window, you can edit the metadata for the WAV, MP3, MP4, and M4A audio files that are created when rendering the audio montage or processing through the batch processor. If you render to WAV, MP3, MP4, or M4A formats, the metadata is associated to these files.

Note

The metadata codes that are followed by an “(i)” indicate the iTunes-compatible fields. Lyrics and pictures are also iTunes-compatible.
