Additionally this tool does not process the audio data of your files in any way when you save edited metadata, making the process not only 100% transparent but also faster.

What are Metadata?
Metadata are different information embedded within a file either a picture, video, audio file or else. They allow to store various information about the file such as its date of creation, creator name, length, name and more directly within the file.
In the music industry context, they allow to track artist & copyright information by tagging directly into the audio files informations such as Artist, Track, Album, Genre, Involved People, ISRC code…
The most common types of metadata retained in audio formats are: IDv3, ID3v2, Riff, Bwf, Cart, AXML, IXML, XMP.
For more information read this article I wrote about Audio Metadata.
How long is it to save edited metadata?
Under a few seconds, pretty much instantly after you click the save button.
METADATA IN WAV FILE?
Contrary to the common belief, it is possible to embed metadata in Wav files thanks to the Bradcast Wav File (Bwf) extension. ISRC code can also be embedded in to the AXML chunk of the file.
This data isn’t read by all media players, but it might tomorrow.
At Smart DSP we ensure proper embedding of all your information, including artwork and are happy to future proof your wav files by being able to tag the data into them as well.
