CLUSTER AUDIO-METADATA-TAGS · 34 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2011-08-27

Audio metadata tag editors

This cluster consists of tools for viewing, editing, and batch-managing metadata tags in audio files, spanning desktop, command-line, plugin, and web platforms across formats like MP3, FLAC, and OGG. Dated entries appear steadily but sparsely from August 2011 through June 2026, with no clear trend in volume, typically one or two per year. Traction is led by tracksmith with 1 star, while jellyfin-plugin-bulktags and aimp have 0 stars each.

Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.
