Simply upload your audio file, and the tool will automatically display all available metadata including artist, album, title, track number, year, genre, and technical details like bitrate and sample rate.
- What metadata can I read from audio files?
- Our tool reads comprehensive metadata including: ID3 tags (artist, album, title, track number, year, genre, composer, comments), technical information (bitrate, sample rate, channels, duration, codec), and embedded cover art if available. All common audio formats are supported.
- Is the audio metadata reader free?
- Yes, our audio metadata reader is 100% free. There are no hidden costs, no registration required, and no limit on the number of files you can analyze. Read metadata from as many audio files as you want – completely free.
- Are my audio files uploaded when reading metadata?
- No. Files are analyzed locally in your browser and are not uploaded to a server.
- Which audio formats are supported?
- Our metadata reader supports all common audio formats including MP3, WAV, FLAC, OGG, AAC, M4A, and more. The tool automatically detects the file format and extracts all available metadata for that format.

- How accurate is the metadata reading?
- Supported metadata is read from the file itself. Bitrate is estimated from a sample of audio packets and may vary in variable bitrate files.
- Is reading audio metadata safe?
