This guide was exactly what I needed!

I had a bunch of MP3 files with missing metadata, and using FFmpeg saved me a ton of time. The batch editing script worked like a charm!

I never knew FFmpeg could handle metadata like this! I’ve always used it for video conversion, but now I’ll be using it to clean up my media library.

Thanks for the detailed examples

Removing metadata from video files was a lifesaver for me. I had some old recordings with incorrect timestamps, and your guide helped me clean them up.

Appreciate the clear instructions!

Great tutorial!

I was able to add cover art to my FLAC collection without any issues, FFmpeg is truly a Swiss Army knife for media files!

In reply to Eddie G.. Yes, FFmpeg can update metadata in WAV files as well! While WAV files don’t support as many metadata fields as formats like MP3 or FLAC, you can still modify basic tags such as title, artist, album, and comment.

ffmpeg -i input.wav -metadata title="New Title" -metadata artist="New Artist" -metadata album="New Album" -codec copy output.wav
