Metadatics App Reviews

Awesome, Easy to use, and Worth every cent.

So far this has exceeded my expectations. There is a bit of a learning curve when figuring out how to make it do what you want. I had some simple batch tasks I wanted to acomplish and it does it very well. Hint: The - key is your friend when wanting to write multiple fields. Example: {TRACKARTIST}-{TRACKTITLE} …. You need to have the "-" in there or the fields dont populate when taggin from filename or vise versa. I also like the text manipulation feature! Nice progam overall. Price is a little high but its the best I have used by far on the OSX side.

I was worried that this app might only be handy for the most technically knowledgable but Im happy to say it was pretty easy to use and understand even for a layman like me. Im a musician and just wanted to have control over the information embedded on the master files of music Im sending out to people in the industry, files which havent been released yet and so arent always stamped the way I want them to be. This is the third or fourth Mark V Apps app Ive purchased and it was just as cleanly designed and simple to use as the others.

Before I found this on the App Store, I tried three freeware counterparts on macupdates. One opened a window but did nothing. One required me to download X11, then did nothing. The third wouldnt even open a window. 10.8 incompatibility? Perhaps, but thats on those guys. Do yourself a favor: Save yourself the headaches and drop the ten bucks. Youll be glad you did. Easy, intuitive, and stable. Just do it.

the app works as described, looks great as well, but is missing a few key features . 1.Remove Witespace 2. Remove Widespace 3 Capitalizer 5 stars when it will include these missing features.. For now the best MP3 editor is Jaikoz… a little slow to launch as it uses java,, but it rocks when it comes time to doing evertyhing you need an mp3 editor to do and a lot more.. to bad it is so ugly..

I am using this now to edit tags for a 400 GB library of high resolution (16- and 24-bit AIFF and FLAC) classical music on a QNAP NAS used as a UPnP server for a Naim Audio streamer. This app is a great start. The regex expression support is essential for classical music and has worked very well for me.

I hope this catches on. I have been looking online everywhere for something like this. I was using MediaMonkey and I thought that was the greatest thing. I mostly was using it for Album Art. This app automatically has the album art I was looking for! I am on a new Macbook Retina, my first MB ever. Was nervous because I lost MediaMonkey, Winamp…alot of the programs that I use to edit and tag mp3’s with. I couldn’t find a program to do so before Metadatics, and I was SERIOUSLY regretting switching to a mac. So finding this program really has turned my decision around. I use Serato Scratch Live and tagging mp3s (especially album art) is a pain in the brain. I am feeling like a true winner after finding this. It is so easy to use. I feel much better than MediaMonkey, which is only for PC. And that is ok, keep it there. Mark-V, please pat yourself on the back for your work. I hope this catches on and everyone can at least download the demo version. Just awesome. I am going to check out your other apps and see if they are LIFE changing like Metadatics.

This app is fantastic! Im currently in the middle of fixing/cleaning up the metadata for my extensive 45K+ music collection and this app is making my life so much easier. Between the ease of batch editing, the online MusicBrainz and album artwork databases and individual field text manipulation functions, this app just does it all. You can also play the file ala QuickLook from within Metadatics. I even have tracks I had ripped in the horrible days of iTunes encoding files with filenames consisting of 4 completely arbitrary capital letters, making them impossible to identify when browsing via Finder. Well Metadatics has a great "Rename Files" feature that is very comprehensive and allows you to rename the files to the format string of your choice. Lastly, the developer is also very good with updates and prompt in addressing any issues you may report. I highly recommed this one, well worth the purchase!!

I purchased this app to help me both with metadata and album art for my music conversion project. Its easy and powerful! What more can I say; it works!

In 95% of my album rips, the program does as advertised. It finds the album art and cleans-up the metadata. This is a great program for someone that rips to iTunes. I would not use this as a batch cleaning tool for a large library of digital music.

I was able to make the changes to my music using the app. However whenever I would attempt to save the information, the app would crash and loose all of the edits. This happens every time I run the program.

This is the killer app for mp3 metadata maintenance. I have a couple of others, but the key feature that differentiates this one is the ability to rename files based on metadata contents (HUGE!). Its not cheap, but is a very fair price for the depth of functionality and the fact that it works flawlessly. A+

I feel like I’ve tried them all, and now no longer even think about it. This is a fantastic app for managing meta data and tags on your music files. The key features for me are: 1.) Reducing the size of the album art. I wish all apps could handle large art, but they can’t. Two clicks and its down to a friendly size for all deivces. 2.) THe ability to drag and drop, or copy and paste the album art. This simplifies this so much from saving and file and uploading. You end up with lots of random album covers. 3.) The file rename is excellent…always handles the files correctly with leading 0’s. 4.) The +/- button on fields truely removes meta data you dont’ want. So many other apps you have to “backspace” or delete which can leave characters. 5.) Works with MP3s and FLAC.

There is a learning curve with this program, but once you have learned the basics, you will enjoy discovering new faster ways to use it. It may not be perfect, but it is way better than anything else out there. Don’t waste your time looking at any other tag editor, this is the one you want!

I was searching for a way to manage all my FLAC, MP3, and other format files on the Mac. iTunes was not useful — slow clunky and cannot handle FLAC, etc. I was not looking for a PLAYER. Decibel is a great FLAC player, and I keep my music on a network drive, and use SONOS for playback when I am not at my computer. I used to use Media Monkey on the PC. Until Metadatics came along, the best option on the Mac was to install VMware Fusion and run Media Monkey in Win7 on the Mac. Ugly! Metadatics changes all that. Great price, super stable, very powerful, awesome. Previously my only gripe was a lack of ability to get really flexible with editing — but now I see that regular expressions are supported, if you want. Awesome! (Though I have to learn how to use them :) The product is powerful, stable, native, and smartly designed. And a fair price! Get it today!

Three stars because this app has no dsf support. Quick response from the developer indicates that it will be added to a future update. Otherwise, the app is easy to use and the “help” page is quick and concise. If you have boggled your way through software like jriver, you will appreciate the simplicity of this app. I will give this app 5 stars when dsf support is added.

I’m using this app for about 6 months now, and I never had a single problem. I switched to Mac from Windows, and this is the only app I found that matches Mp3Tag. It does take a bit getting used of it, but once you get to know nuts and bolts of it, its really great and I actually like it better than Mp3Tag. Highly recommended!

I’ve been using this app for a while, and it works very well. however, everytime when i write some asian language word into the tags(e.x. Chinese or Japanese) and save, they jusy apears uncorrectly. please fix this issue.

Yes, sounds like an exaggeration, but this little program really is well worth purchasing. I had tried about half a dozen different programs (free and paid) and somehow they all missed some key feature or other. Metadatics is fast, intuitive, and does everything. It has some very useful features that I only found after using it for a few months: auto numbering lists of tracks; text manipulation (all caps, title case, etc); renaming files in the directory based on tag info, etc. You can add images to the files, and you can resize/downsample large files inside the program. I have been using it for about a year. At first there were a couple of bugs, but the developers are very good at squashing them and pushing out updates. I have been going through my 60+gigabytes of audio files, and this program has really sped up the process. I heartily recommend it!

I had a question about the app - whether it would handle the "explicit" tag for iTunes (it does) - so i figured Id try checking the support link and contacting them. I sent my email query and received a response - a very thorough and detailed response in less than an hour via email. As soon as I got the response, I bought the app. Its fantastic - by the way.
