When trying to review metadata, using Apple Music’s “Get Info” window (or similar consumer-focussed apps) is not ideal as this will only let you preview a subset of the metadata available in a file.
In the case of WAV files, Apple Music doesn’t support reading metadata at all.
The following apps, although archaic, allow you to view music metadata embedded in files in detail.
ID3 is a metadata container allowing information such as the title, artist, album, track number, and other information about the file to be stored in the file itself.
Here are the fields we automatically add to each track when it is downloaded.
// Track title
"TIT2": title,
// Track description
"COMM": description,
// Track_number
"TRCK": track_number,
// Genre (from any genre tags present)
"TCON": genre,
// ISRC
"TSRC": isrc,
// Composer(s) - Composer name (PRO) 100% [IPI]
"TCOM": composers,
// BPM
"TBPM": track_bpm
// Album title
"TALB": release_title,
// Album sleeve
"APIC": packshot
// Original release year
"TORY": release_year
// Publisher - Publisher name (PRO) [IPI]
"TPUB": publisher,
// Copyright - 2015 Publisher name (PRO) [IPI]
"TCOP": `${release_year} ${publisher}`,
// Artist - we add the label name (Library Name in the CSV)
"TPE1": label_name,
// Auto grouping
// Contact info of your choice - to add please contact support
"GRP1": contact_info,
// Metadata encoder
"TENC": "Cadenzabox",
A medium-resolution JPEG of the cover artwork of the track’s parent release is added to the APIC ID3 tag for visibility in the macOS Finder / Windows File Explorer / Apple Music, etc.
