MP3 metadata FAQs
What can I see in a MP3 file?
Inspect ID3 tags (artist/album/title, track numbers, genres), embedded artwork, lyrics/comments, and bitrate/sample rate/channels for MP3s without re-encoding.
Do you change or recompress my MP3 file?
No. The viewer only reads metadata from your MP3 file and shows it back—streams, pixels, and content stay untouched.
What if my MP3 file has little or no metadata?
Some MP3 files ship with minimal fields. We show everything present—if a tag is missing (like GPS or author), there simply isn't any data to display.
Can I verify attachments or previews in a MP3?
Yes. If the MP3 contains embedded previews, cover art, fonts, or thumbnails, we surface those entries so you know what ships with the file.
Can I copy the MP3 metadata for documentation?
You can copy the on-screen results to include in tickets, audits, or delivery notes without modifying the original MP3.
