Meta overview
Meta helps you manage your ever-growing digital music collection. Use it to easily edit information such as a song's artist, title, album, album cover, etc. It supports editing of most audio formats such as MP3, MP4, M4A, FLAC, Ogg, OGA, SPX, WAV, AIFF, and a variety of metadata formats including ID3v1, ID3v2.3, ID3v2.4, iTunes MP4, Vorbis comments, and APE tags.
Features:
- A polished, intuitive user interface that adopts OS X's standards
- Write metadata to multiple files at once (Batch Tag Editing)
- Remove all metadata from files (Strip Tags)
- Change typecase (capitalise, upper/lowercase, titlecase), strip underscores
- Rename files based on their metadata or instead, convert filenames to metadata
- Find and Replace characters, words, or strings in metadata, with support for regular expressions (patterns)
- Add selected tracks to iTunes, or refresh their metadata using a simple keyboard shortcut
- Automatically generate track numbers
- Benefit from built in file management operations (Move, Delete, Reveal in Finder)
- Interface is compatible with Retina displays
Album covers can easily be set or exported via drag-and-drop, and it is possible to configure Meta so that it scales, crops, and compresses images each time a new image is set, so as to keep your audio files' size to a minimum.
What’s new in version 2.2

What users say about Meta
Features: 5.0
It is perfect for updating metadata of music before uploading to Youtube Music (as you cannot update metadata there directly). It is also great for renaming voice memos from iPhone as the names of the memos are in the 'Title' metadata.

Bummer of an app name now that FaceBook is using it to cover up it's global toxicity.

Perfect app for batch updating audio metadata. I use it for setting Album Artwork of music before uploading to Youtube Music (as you can no longer edit metadata there). It is also useful for updating Voice Memos imported from iPhones as the name of the memos is in the 'Title' metadata. I contacted the dev with a feature request and he implemented the change so quickly I couldn't believe it. Highly recommend!

Needs a 'select column' function. Otherwise, it's extremely time consuming having to scroll-double click-delete every single piece of data. Tag editor has this function and it saves so much time. Just a suggestion.

Will this eventually get lookups from MusicBrainz or Discogs? I wish there was a save/next button on this instead of having to click on each individual song.
