Audio Metadata Viewer
This lesson is part of Web Developer Tools · All levels
Summary
The audio metadata viewer displays technical information and tags stored in the audio file. You can see the title, the artist, the album, the genre, the duration, the bitrate, the sample rate, as well as the number of channels. Metadata helps manage the music collection and ensure the files have the correct identity. This tool is also useful for checking whether a file actually has the quality claimed.
Key points
- Metadata is data about a file, not the audio content.
- Common tags include title, artist, album, year, and genre
- Technical information includes duration, bitrate, sample rate, and channel
- Metadata can be edited without changing audio
- Check the metadata before sharing files to avoid any personal data
