Metadata
Tags are read when you add a file.
The audio itself is copied without re-encoding; only the metadata changes.

Audio Metadata Editor FAQ
How is this different from the Audio Tag Editor?
This editor handles many formats through FFmpeg. The Audio Tag Editor specialises in MP3 ID3 tags and can also add, view and remove cover art.
Does editing tags change the sound?
No. The audio data is copied without decoding or re-encoding.
Why does my player still show the old information?
Many players cache library information. Rescan the library, or remove and re-add the file.
What happens to cover art?
Embedded pictures are kept unless you choose to remove all other metadata. To add or change MP3 cover art, use the Audio Tag Editor.
Do WAV files support tags?
WAV has limited, inconsistently supported tags in its INFO chunk. Basic fields work in many programs, but for reliable tagging FLAC, MP3 or M4A are better.
Where audio metadata lives
Each audio format stores metadata in its own way. MP3 uses ID3 tags, a block of frames at the start of the file. M4A and other MPEG-4 audio files store tags as “atoms” within the file structure, a scheme popularised by iTunes. FLAC, Ogg Vorbis and Opus use Vorbis comments, simple name and value pairs. WAV files can carry an INFO list, though support varies.
Because the formats differ, a field called “year” in one program may be “date” in another, and track numbers can be stored as “3” or “3/12”. FFmpeg normalises these names, which is why this editor can read and write the same fields across formats.
Metadata can reveal more than song titles. Recordings made with phones and recorders may contain device names, software versions or comments, and podcasts sometimes carry editing notes. Removing everything except the fields you intend to publish is a sensible privacy step before sharing.
Editing metadata does not require decoding the audio. The file is rewritten with the same compressed audio data and a new metadata section, so quality is unaffected and processing is quick.
