Last I checked, Meta only does the ID3v2 field which might be fine for most cases, but not all and that's probably true for the majority of consumer tagging apps. You probably want to be sure that whatever app you are using is putting it in both places in case whatever app is being used downstream to read the metadata is only reading one or the other. Does that program embed ISRCs? What am I missing? Both Meta and Metadatics pages don't mention ISRC codes - how can this be?See attached, and I had to remove some info for privacy but Meta will display and add ISRC codes.but as mentioned, there are two main places that people downstream (and their apps) look for ISRC codes.ID3v2 and AXML. That website doesn't contain the words "ISRC" or "Code". A few requests for MP3s and 24 bit WAV each year. 16-44 WAVs for approval and then whatever formats they request. I don't foresee a lot of file tagging in my near future so a standalone tagger should do the trick!Īlso, I don't by default deliver nearly as many different formats as some MEs do. That would slow me down way too much at first. I'm so dug in with PT that, even though I'm full time mastering now, the idea of learning a new DAW has zero appeal to me. I was doing both recording and mastering for most of my career and I started with Digidesign Sound Designer 2 in 1993 and PT in 1994 when it was just a 4 track 16 bit DAW. I use Pro Tools because that's how my business evolved. It's a little embarrassing to be asking about it this late in the game, but here I am! This new client has a publicist who wants tagged WAVs and MP3s so I'm finally going to do it. There have been no complaints, most clients are repeaters and business has been great. Even major labels have not asked me for tagged tracks, just CD Text. The new Podcasts can then be used with players such as iTunes.Unless you master about 3 albums a month, I can't imagine wanting to do the tagging in a 3rd party app for all the files/formats for every project.Īssembling the the master in a mastering DAW that can essentially tag the rendered/exported files with the info it already has inside the DAW for any and all files saves times, and promotes accuracy and consistency.To be totally honest, and this may sound crazy, in 26 years of mastering this is the first time I'm tagging files! All my clients have been letting their aggregators and distributors handle the metadata. This allows tracks that were not originally created for Podcasting to be changed into Podcasts, or if the track was created as a Podcast and it needs to be altered due to incorrect or missing details. ID3 Editor can mark a track as a Podcast and allows the editing and addition of an identifier, a feed and a description. The information can then be displayed in your favourite MP3 player application or on your portable player such as an iPod, a Walkman or other music hardware. MP3 ID3 tags are used to store important information of a music track, such as the track 'title', track 'number', 'artist', 'album' etc. 'copyright' and 'encoded by' which is where ID3 Editor saves the day. Although iTunes offers a good interface for editing tags, it does have a few important attributes missing, e.g. ID3 Editor is a small and simple MP3 and AIFF ID3 tag editor, which offers the ability to edit the most wanted attributes of the ID3 tags in one window.
