Hi there! I have a large number of mp3s I'm hoping to upload to Soundcloud and am wondering if there's a way to import id3 information to SC's metadata automatically? Some of it appears to be a manual-only thing on their site from what I can tell. I'm specifically interested in adding the Buy-link metadata... Any advice would be greatly appreciated. (mp3tag rules!) ---

I've checked the [How do I upload multiple tracks to SoundCloud?](https://help.soundcloud.com/hc/en-us/articles/115003449487) page and it all seems manual. If there would be a CSV import or something similar, you could use Mp3tag's Export feature to prepare the data. ---

There’s a [public API](https://developers.soundcloud.com/docs/api/guide#uploading) of course, but it does not seem possible to do this with tags embedded in the files themselves. PS: Did you try to upload an MP3 file with all of the following [fields](https://docs.mp3tag.de/mapping) set, in order to see if any of them showed up as the _Buy-Link_? `PODCASTURL`, `WWW`, `WWWARTIST`, `WWWAUDIOFILE`, `WWWAUDIOSOURCE`, `WWWCOMMERCIALINFO`, `WWWCOPYRIGHT`, `WWWPAYMENT`, `WWWPUBLISHER`, `WWWRADIOPAGE` – for MP4/M4A, only `PODCASTURL` is mapped to a standard field by Mp3tag, one should perhaps be mapped to `©url` (`infu` from [3GPP/OMA DRM](http://openmobilealliance.org/release/DRM/V2_2-20110419-C/OMA-TS-DRM_DCF-V2_2-20110419-C.pdf) is probably obsolete). ---

Thank you! This is excellent. Crissov I'll try to experiment with the fields you suggested and see if anything sticks. I've tried a few of those, but haven't been systematic with it... Using the API is a bit out of my knowledge area, but that's also great to know it's possible that way. If none of the above tags work that will be where I head next... ---
