What is a metadata file?

A metadata file is a text file containing you catalog’s metadata.

Typically this will contain:

• All tracks on one release
• A collection of releases
• Every release on one label
• Your entire library spanning multiple labels

Metadata files are required to run our batch ingestion process.

CSV files

We support “comma-separated values” files called CSVs.

These text files can be viewed and edited in:

• Easy CSV Editor …can open the very largest CSVs, our 💛 on macOS
• Google Sheets …free and cross-platform
• Apple Numbers
• Microsoft Excel 🦕
