MP3 Metadata Viewer
Audio files carry tags describing the track: MP3 uses ID3v1 and ID3v2, FLAC uses Vorbis comments, and M4A uses iTunes-style atoms. This viewer reads those tags locally and lists title, artist, album, encoder and more. Analyzed locally in your browser - nothing is uploaded.
What MP3 / audio metadata reveals
Tags are how music players show track info, but they can also carry an encoder fingerprint, comments, and identifying names. If you are sharing audio you created, it is worth seeing exactly what the tags say about you and your tools.
- ID3v2 and ID3v1 tags (title, artist, album, year)
- Encoder / "encoded by" software
- Comments and lyrics frames
- FLAC Vorbis comments and M4A iTunes tags
- Whether cover art is embedded
Frequently Asked Questions
About reading EXIF, GPS, AI traces and other embedded metadata.
ID3 is the metadata format for MP3 files. ID3v2 (at the start of the file) holds rich tags like title, artist and album art; ID3v1 (the last 128 bytes) is an older, simpler tag. This tool reads both.
Yes. FLAC stores Vorbis comments and M4A stores iTunes-style atoms; the viewer decodes both alongside MP3 ID3 tags.
