Art tag of the selected audio file, press the Write to File button to overwrite the previous
Cover Art tag with empty contents.
7.5.6 Writing Tags to Multiple Files
Metadata tags are written to all selected files. Unsupported tags will simply be skipped.
For example, if M4A and MP3 files are selected, the Gapless tag will be skipped for all
MP3 files, but still written to the selected M4A files.
7.5.7 Importing Tags from Another File
Any audio files that contain metadata are listed in the File List with a small arrow button in
the right-most column.
Hover your mouse cursor over a button to preview the metadata from that file in the
Metadata Editor. Previewed metadata tags are shown in green. Click a button to import
the metadata from that file into the Metadata Editor.
Only non-empty tags will be imported, so existing edited tags cannot be overwritten with
an empty tag from another file.
Importing metadata from another file in this way is compatible with the Undo/Redo
mechanism, and the Revert feature.
7.5.8 Metadata Presets
Metadata tags can be saved into presets for later use. To display the metadata presets
manager, click the Metadata Presets tab in the lower right hand area of the Manager. In
this presets manager, a list of saved presets is displayed.
Hover the mouse cursor over a preset name to preview the saved tags in the Metadata
Editor. Previewed metadata tags are shown in green. Click on a preset to load the saved
tags into the Metadata Editor as changes for the selected file.
Since the presets are imported as changes to the existing content in the Metadata
Editor, if a preset does not contain anything different, nothing will be previewed or
imported.
To undo metadata tag changes after importing a preset, press the Undo button, or use
the keyboard shortcut Command + Z (Mac) or Control + Z (Windows).
To save a new metadata preset, press Command + S (Mac) or Control + S (Windows), or
