Metadata

An audio file may include information about the audio, known as metadata or tags. To display or edit metadata, use Edit/Metadata or Shift+M to launch the Metadata dialog. The dialog lists the name and value of each tag. To edit a tag, left-click its value. A popup edit control is displayed. To end the edit, press Enter or left-click outside the edit control. To end the edit and continue to the next tag, press Tab or the Down arrow; to continue to the previous tag, press Shift+Tab or the Up arrow. Press OK to close the dialog and save your changes.

WaveShop supports a fixed set of metadata, listed in the table below. Some file formats don't support metadata, or only support a subset of these tags. FLAC and MP3 support them all, and Ogg/Vorbis, WAV and AIFF support most of them. For MP3 files, both ID3V1 and ID3V2 tags are supported.
