Hi I'm a music creator and I would like to find a way to put tags in the Wav. related to recording number, copyright company, production company, author, etc. I would like some of these to remain fixed in the files I create (like my BMI number,ASCAP) and others to be added in the fields each time. I also ask if these tags transfer in case the file is cut and a new bounce is made. Thanks
The WAV format is pretty limited only supporting a handful tags.
Are you sure that you don't want to convert them in lossless format like FLAC and use the much better tags then?
If you ask for a way that content you added "remain fixed" and can not be changed by yourself or others:
This is not possible. You can not protect tag content.
If you ask how to mass change the BMI oder ASCAP for multiple tracks in one step, then you can load your tracks, select the tracks and enter the content in the left Tag Panel for BMI or ASCAP.
The standard installation of Mp3tag does not provide such tag fields in the Tag Panel.
You would have to add it by yourself first.
Please let us know if you need some specific support.
No, there is no automatism. Mp3tag modifies the tags in one or more selected files.
It does not recognize any form of cuts or "new bounce".
First of all, thank you for your quick reply, sorry, I'd better describe my case.
I'm a producer of music for commercials, when I've finished a track I deliver the master in .wav to the agency who then mounts it on the video and gives it to the client who puts it on various TV.
My masters have numeric codes that allow the TV stations to fill in the ‘Cue Sheets’ with the name of the author, ISWC, ISRC and other data related to the song for the correct allocation of performance royalties. It used to be paper only and error-prone, but now it can be embedded in the file helping the TV programmers to make fewer mistakes. I am doing one file at a time and would like to understand the best way to incorporate the following data: ARTIST,AUTHOR,PERFORMING RIGHT SOCIETY,CAE IPI,CLIENT,COMPOSER,COMPOSER RIGHT SOCIETY,CONTACT,GENRE,OSNI,ISRC,ISWC,MUSIC RECORDING STUDIO,PRODUCTION AGENCY.... Etc. Some of this data are always the always equal, other are track related. Unfortunately i cannot provide FLAC only WAV or AIFF.
Thank you for your help
I am pretty sure that MP3tag can add most of the tag fields.
You can even define presets for fields and apply them with a single action so that you only have to edit the special fields.
The big question still is: does the target system read these tag fields?
This is the documentaton section about customizing MP3tag:
If the agency of @tizi66 is working with a professional tool to read your mentioned data, then one way to find the best compatibility would be to ask the agency to give you back a WAV example fully filled with all the needed information.
You can then load such a WAV file into your Mp3tag and see in Alt + T what kind of tag names are needed.
This tag names can then be used to customize Mp3tag, for example the Tag Panel at the left side.
Yes i make a customized version of the tags, but still don't know to how mantain or save the info, i have always to copy it from a previous file and change it, is correct? There is another way to fill all data with a template or saved files?
If you do not want to fill in the same text over and over again in the various fields, create an action group with several actions of the type "Format value" for the respective fields.
In each of these actions you set the corresponding value for the field as
Format string.
e.g.
Format value for AUTHOR
Format string: tizi66
next action
Format value for COMPOSER
Format string: John Doe
and so on.
With this example of an action group the 2 fields AUTHOR and COMPOSER would be set with just 1 click.
@tizi66 Please don't forget that only 4 of your listed tag names are standard tag names.
The yellow marked ones are (your) custom tag names and you have to test it with your agency if they can read tag names like "PERFORMING RIGHT SOCIETY"
